In Wisconsin, Bush preaches free trade, lower taxes
March 31, Appleston, Wisconsin-AP -- On a visit to Wisconsin, President Bush is preaching free trade and lower taxes as the right recipe for the state's ailing industrial sector.
Speaking to a Chamber of Commerce audience in Appleton, the president said he understands the uncertainty faced by workers in a changing economy.
But he says hiking taxes would cripple job-creation -- and raising trade barriers would isolate American companies from world trade.
Bush didn't mention John Kerry by name at the taxpayer-funded event, but he's repeatedly accused his Democratic foe of isolationist and pro-tax stands. Kerry says both charges are misleading.
Wisconsin's jobless rate is below the national average. But some 80-thousand manufacturing jobs have disappeared since Bush took office.
The visit was Bush's ninth as president to Wisconsin -- a state he lost by fewer than six-thousand votes four years ago and is again seen as a key battleground.
