Interesting pro-Bush propaganda, to say the least.

by "interesting," do you mean "misleading?"

two claims jumped out immediately..

Both Ted Kennedy and John Kerry voted FOR Bill Clinton's 1993 Tax Increase -- the Largest Tax Increase in History.

The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 was the biggest increase since 1968, and it was signed by Reagan, and it was by no means the largest increase in history.

"That 1982 tax increase only slightly exceeded Clinton's in inflation-adjusted dollars ($37 billion a year vs.. $32 billion) but it was much bigger in relation to the size of the economy. The '82 increase amounted to 4.6% of GDP (average for the first two years) while Clinton's was 2.7%."
