REALLY RICH PEOPLE DODGE TAXES -- BUSH

You can't make stuff like this up.

Bush criticized Kerry's plan to eliminate the tax cuts for those making more than $200,000 a year, saying that the "the rich in America happen to be the small business owners" who put people to work.

Bush also said high taxes on the rich are a failed strategy because "the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."

UPDATE:Commenters at Daily Kos say the comment wasn't a gaffe -- it's part of Bush's regular stump speech! Aw c'mon...

UPDATE:Susan at Suburban Guerrilla asks the right question:

So, George. If the rich don't really pay any taxes, why would you think cutting their taxes would stimulate the economy?

And why aren't the members of the Corporate Press Corps asking this question?
