Bush's claim on taxes for small businesses

See the post-debate analysis of Bush's stupid "Need some wood?" quote. In fact, check out Cheney's recommendation, factcheck.org, for the reason they're giving for that claim.

Quote:

But it counts every high-salaried person who has even $1 of outside business income as a "small business owner" -- a definition so broad that even Bush and Cheney have qualified while in office.

Does anyone really believe Kerry when he says his tax increases would be limited to those earning over $200,000, though? If he gets the Bush tax cuts repealed -- including, e.g., the 10% bracket -- that affects a lot of people earning less.

As an aside I remember Jim McGreavy talking big about his "millionaires tax"... which started at $500,000.
