Tax Cuts Extended

The Bush tax cuts have been extended. This is great news. I find it curious, however, that Kerry voted to extend them. These are the same tax cuts that Kerry criticized by saying they only help "the rich". Why would he vote for tax cuts he is against? Kerry only voted to extend them because it would be political suicide to vote to raise taxes while running for president. Mark my words: Kerry will try to kill these cuts as soon as he gets in office. A vote for Kerry is a vote for higher taxes.
