A Democratic president would raise taxes and ravage the economy, GOP candidate Rudy Giuliani said yesterday. The former New York City mayor said he would lower taxes, make permanent President Bush's tax cuts and eliminate inheritance taxes. "The Democrats believe in government when they have a choice. Republicans believe in.
people when we have a choice. The Republican Party is the party of the people. The Democratic Party is the party of the government," Giuliani said at a town hall meeting. He appeared with former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, who is a campaign adviser, and former Massachusetts Gov. Paul Cellucci.
In his speech, Giuliani paid little attention to his GOP rivals while taking on the Democratic candidates. "If you've never run anything, you sometimes have unrealistic ideas," he said, noting none of the leading Democratmic contenders has served as an executive. "This is not a place for on-the-job training." Giuliani criticized Democrats who want to repeal Bush's cuts. "When it's working, let's change it. That's a brilliant philosophy.
It sounds little bit like Giuliani said to laughter. He also took a shot at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a top contender for the Democratic party's nomination. 4 'We must take things away from you for the common Giuliani said, mocking Clinton.

ni's campaign has been tax cuts, greater freedom over spending and less government. He said people would face $3 trillion in tax increase over the next decade unless Bush's tax cuts are made permanent. A spokeswoman for Democratic candidate John Edwards said Giuliani's proposals will only hurt taxpayers. "Rudy Giuliani is completely out of touch with New Hampshire and America if he thinks continuing with George Bush's failed economic policies makes any sense," Kate Bedingfield said. "Instead of Giuliani tax cuts for the wealthy and the super rich, John Edwards believes we need middle class tax cuts and universal health care and he is fighting for those things every single Giuliani also advocated a permanent child tax credit and lower marginal tax rates.
He wants to tie marginal tax rates to the current levels and perhaps cut the rates further. He favors linking the alternative minimum tax to the rate of inflation, which Giuliani said would stop tax increases on 30 million people by 2010. This tax originally was designed to make sure that the wealthiest could not use tax breaks or deductions to eliminate their entire tax liability. It is not adjusted for inflation. Inflation and recent tax cuts push more and more taxpayers into the grasp of the minimum tax each year, depriving about 4 million tax filers from taking full advantage of various deductions and tax credits.

"It is a national disgrace," said Clinton, who is traveling to New Orleans this week to mark the second anniversary of the disaster.
"What happened because of Katrina was a turning point in our country." Clinton also sharply criticized Bush for his handling of the Iraq war, repeating her call for the U.S. to begin withdrawing its troops from the country. "I believe that if he does not extricate us from Iraq by the time he leaves office, that when I am president I will," she said.
