Sodrel's "commitment to young people"
I just read yesterday's front page article in the Jeffersonville Evening News on Laura Bush's fund-raising visit for Mike Sodrel. In the article, she is quoted as saying that Mike "supports tax cuts and has a commitment to young people". To be more accurate, she should have said that Mike "supports income tax cuts for the wealthy while ignoring payroll tax cuts for the working poor and those in the middle class-- and he is committed to increasing government debt and thus future taxes for today's young people."
