Strut10 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Got this in an e-mail. Thought I'd share. After watching a focus group of democrats that watched the democratic debate the other day in Vegas, I literally wanted to throw up. For the most part, all of them bashed Bush over and over again on how he is out for his millionaire friends and the big oil companies and he has totally forgotten or disregarded the little guy. So being an ex-IRS employee, I decided to look back on the tax tables to see if there is any truth to what they said and the media keeps stating as fact, "Bush is only out for the rich in this country" . Based on using the actual tax tables (see link below), here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples… so let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich. Taxes under Clinton 1999............................ Taxes under Bush 2008 Single making 30K –tax $8,400................... Single making 30K – tax $4,500 Single making 50K – tax $14,000................ Single making 50K – tax $12,500 Single making 75K – tax $23,250................ Single making 75K – tax $18,750 Married making 60K – tax $16,800............... Married making 60K – tax $9,000 Married making 75K – tax $21,000............... Married making 75K – tax $18,750 Married making 125K – tax $38,750............. Married making 125K – tax $31,250 If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If any democrat is elected, ALL of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie the Sting with Paul Newman, you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened. Now this is effective (maybe not honest) marketing or maybe a better word is brain washing. NOW, CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yep, and Kerry insisted in the last election those who benefitted from the tax cuts were among the wealthiest people in this country:(. Definitely will be more of the same if either liberal gets in, look for taxes on the working class to be raised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hopefully we get another Republican, whoever it may be. I want to keep my money that I WORK for and not give it to the lazy people who sit around unemployed and pop out kid after kid to get more money, and support the Democrats!

stevebeilgard Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 excellent post, strut. but, one thing i catch from the dems on t.v. is that they only spill out the mis-information that the news media prints. they do not deal in facts or figgures. and there are lots of followers. so, get ready for a dem in office, the stock market to go below 10,000, businsses to fold, pay more taxes, and a whole bunch of other bad stuff. america i about to become a socialized society, and may never return to what we are today. rip america.
