Looking at the opinions and attitudes of both George Bush and John
             Kerry has special importance in this election year. While John Kerry is
             not officially the Democratic nominee for President, he has obtained enough
             delegates to get the nomination, and it is very unlikely that the
             Democratic Party will choose someone else. While it is not impossible,
             there are no other candidates that have the charisma and character that
             Democrats see in John Kerry and his beliefs for this country. George Bush
             has a strong desire to be re-elected and so much has happened during his
             term in office that many people either love him or hate him, but few are
             undecided. This makes for what many think will be a very close election in
             November and it is important to examine the issues to determine where Bush
             and Kerry really stand on the things that matter most to Americans.
             For purposes of this paper, the economy will be the focus. It would
             have been possible to focus on the economy and two other issues, but the
             American economy is such a large issue that dealing with it could take up
             many pages. In order to do it justice, the entire paper must be devoted to
             the economy, but it will be broken down into three sections: taxes, jobs,
             and trade. These three subissues are some of the largest concerns facing
             the American people today. Due to this, there are worries all across the
             country about whether taxes will be raised in the coming year, when the job
             market will pick up, and what kinds of trade agreements we will have with
             other countries now that there have been some problems with other nations
             Because of all of these concerns, the economy is a valid and viable
             issue worthy of discussion and thought. The ideas had by both George Bush
             and John Kerry will work to shape the results of the election, and the
             winner of that election will work to shape history. The economic issues
