ANNANDALE, Va. (AP) - President George Bush talked about taxes and entrepreneurship at a campaign stop today in northern Virginia.
The president held a town hall-style forum with about 600 supporters at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale.
He criticized Democrat John Kerry's proposal to eliminate tax cuts for the wealthy, saying that "the rich in America happen to be small business owners" who put people to work.
Bush added that "the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."
Virginia's Democratic Party chairman Kerry Donley said after the rally that the fact that Bush is campaigning in Republican-leaning Virginia shows that his campaign is in trouble.
