Bush Uses Good Economic News for Tax Cut Message
By DAVID STOUT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 � President Bush campaigned on the economy and other domestic issues today in Alabama, where he called for permanent tax relief and said the entrepreneurial spirit is "what America's all about."
Mr. Bush used an appearance at a family-owned crane company in Birmingham to deliver his message, in a speech that touched only briefly on the campaign in Iraq and did not specifically mention the loss of 16 American soldiers on Sunday in a downed helicopter.
"It is essential for those politicians in Washington to know that individual income tax relief is incredibly important for job creation, not only because it stimulates demand but because it provides a vital boost in the arm for the small-business sector," the president said to applause.
"We've got a consistent and effective strategy, and we're making progress," Mr. Bush said. "Our third-quarter economic growth was vibrant, and that's good. Inflation is down, and that's good. After-tax incomes are up. People are keeping more of their own money [P6: that far fewer of them have any money to keep need not be mentioned here], and that's really important for economic growth."
