Who are you to say that the law did more than protect that person and did not do exactly what you said it should -- simply protect them.

I am a citizen in a free country where people discuss and debate differing ideas.
I am a citizen of Canada where individuals have rights to rule of law, where an ijured party can be reparated properly, and where a balance is struck so all concerned are treated fairly.

Kerry's tax increases are only different than Bush's for the wealthy. Neither one has balanced their budget -- both are promising more than there is money to pay for.

Tax increases are always passed along to the people most unable to afford them.
Another example (After getting hit by a large tax increase a computer company examines its book and determines that it no longer has sufficient funds to pay for its new factory, determining that the only way to increase it's available funds is to increase it's profits, prices on computers are raised.) The little guy ends on paying the taxes in the long run.
