Ad #6: "Birds of a Feather" (long: 1 minute-1 minute, 30 seconds)
Announcer: In this week's debate, you heard George W. Bush say...
(voice from GWB in debate)"...I am opposed to raising taxes in most cases, But If a tax hike will give teachers and educators the money they have deserved for way to long, They yea We need a tax hike."
Announcer: But how much does he want to pay for teachers and educators?
(voice from GWB ad)"...Teachers should be the highest paying job in this country. CEO’s and Lawyers who make millions and contribute nothing to Society should not make more than the people educating our future..."
Announcer: Millions and millions of dollars? Just how big of a tax hike is George W. Bush planning?
Consider this: The average CEO makes
nearly $10.6 million a year in salary, bonuses and other compensations.
According to the Atlasian Census, there are nearly
3.1 million people employed as elementary and middle school teachers, not counting high school or secondary school teachers.
In order to pay just these teachers average CEO salaries, George W. Bush's tax raise would have to come to nearly
(double-tracked, loud)
$4.14 trillion dollarsto cover just these specific teachers and educators.
And that's not even the start of it.
What type of federal control would teachers, educators and administrators be put under in order to receive such a salary from the federal government?
It might make
1984 look pale in comparison.
Not even the most radically liberal member of Atlasian society would propose such a fiscally insane idea. The only person in Atlasian politics who sounds just as crazy is Mike Naso, with his "Tax Cut for District 3 Only" idea.
Maybe George W. Bush and Mike Naso are really, really...
"Birds of a Feather..."
If you want fiscal sanity and a moderate voice for Atlasian politics and District 4 come February, don't vote for the man who wants to raise your taxes through the roof...
Vote for Sam Spade.
