I passed a Bush/Cheny billboard today that said something like "It's your money." I presume they are referring to the "tax and spend liberal agenda" that so many conservatives like to talk about. The message implies that the money we pay in taxes will go to fund programs we don't approve of if Kerry is elected.
Seems to me, however, that this could be a big mistake. For one thing, the current administration has turned a surplus into a deficit (let's not go into the neocon reasons why) which means our tax money for generations already belongs to someone else because Bush borrowed it to fund his programs, which by the way, I mostly don't support.
I think the idea of a tax and spend liberal is a lot more appealing than the idea of a borrow and spend conservative. At least the liberal tries to pay the bills as we go along.
I haven't been able to find this billboard online, but it's part of a campaign here in Michigan.
