Day One Cheer One

Howard kicks off in fine style. This could be a lot more fun than a lot of pundits were expecting. I can take a tax cut fight any election you like.

Prime Minister John Howard has unveiled the Coalition’s first big campaign pledge with a series of income tax cuts totalling $34 billion over three years.

Unless the Prissy Little Bitch can at least match this, he doesn’t deserve your vote.

I guess the real proof is in the fact that Howard et al. can actually back up their tax cut proposals. The PLB and his tribe of hacks can’t because most of them you wouldn’t trust to run a chook raffle.

**UPDATE** MK’s View gives their take on the announcement.

Woohoo - that’s my vote all sealed up!!

I think that is an endorsement but who knows, it is so vague and uncommitted.
