This is interesting. Just compare the taxes.

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.

I'm with you there!
things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
Ditto on the above!
I disagree with you and my family is living proof.
FermiLab had their budget cut by $52 million in order to pay for the War. This year Joe will be paid 1 month less. I'm not sure I know to many who would be able to work that into their budget with the raising price of food and gas.
Either you pay it in taxes or you pay for it in inflation.
I hope we get a Democrat for President us middle class people need a break.
Good for you for putting it in print. I am a little scared if either H or O are elected, although my first choice was not McC. I dont understand the entire D party that thinks Pres C was so great. or maybe the definition of great has changed. I have not purchase a dictionary in years........
I knew this to be true but now I am glad to have it on paper to prove it! I think too many people just believe what they hear not what they see. It will be too late when they figure it out!
I think a lot of people want programs and things to give out money. What they do not realize is that those programs cost your tax dollars. Wouldn't you rather have your money and "you" choose how to spend it not the government.
Melissa I agree the war has cost us and all Americans a lot of money. I am not for that!
♥ I think it's very tough for everyone. But would definately love to choose where my money went!!! There are a lot of programs out there that don't truely work and the government keep flushing our money down the tube on those... Also they choose to pay themselves a huge amount of money which is insane and really we could go on forever!
I truely believe that if the governemnt was making the same amount of money as the people that live in this country they'd FIND better ways to spend our hard earned money!!!
Remember there are Dems out there who KNOW and WANT to be taxed, thinking that redistribution of wealth is fair.
And if a Dem wins the presidency, the middle class will NOT get a break. Look at above list and think bigger under She-Clinton or Obama. Among many other taxes to fund there many social programs.
This economy needs a TRUE conservative!
Sorry....I'm done now.
Yea I don't know about you, but I am all for lower taxes...espesally since the government doesn't get their real money from us civilans. They get their good money from companies. Big companies are the real money makers...so I am all for lowering our taxes. We need the break.
There is no such thing as a hand out. When they say they will "help" you with this or that it should translate in your mind to tax dollars being spent. They are spending your money how they choose. Again I am far more interested in being responsible for my own money, my own debt etc...
wow! i'd heard this , and love seeing it as proof. my husband goes on and on about it. i am totally republican.
So interesting!!
Have a good day - Kellan
I don't think anyone denies that taxes are lower under Bush. But economics aren't that simple. Does the current state of the economy (pending recession) have anything to do with the current taxation policy?
With the current budget policy?
I am a republican when it comes to taxes, but I can't call myself a republican when I look at the war in Iraq. At least with Clinton there was a balanced budget, and we weren't blowing Billions every month in Iraq.
Soooo true. If anything, i don't think the tax cuts were deep enough. Only that, coupled with torte reform and incentives for businesses to keep their jobs in the US will save us, I believe. Sadly, I do believe even John McCain says he will repeal the tax cuts. I'd feel much more safe with him leading us as commander-in-chief, but he is not very fiscally conservative at all. This may just well be the very first year I don't vote. So sad.
That was good for me to see. I was just complaining about all the taxes we have to pay. Now at least I know it could be worse!
I am scared to see what happens. I feel like we are in trouble no matter who gets put into office.
♥ I have to agree that I definately see out taxes goin WAY up also to fund all the crap that Hillary wants to do and the same with Obama! McCain scares me just about as much as the other too... Anyway I look at it I think we're in big trouble!
Thanks for everyones comments! I like to hear everyone's opions!
I totally agree with you!
This is so true! I am in 100% agreement. Thanks or sharing. I wish more people could know this!
@sam
Clinton stripped the millitary down to it's bare bones! It is disgusting what he did. Yes, he may have saved money (relatively speaking) but he did this at the millitary's expense.
Oh wow! Thanks for the info! I am not a Clinton fan by ANY means! LOL
Oh this election scares me I so DON'T want either of those dems to win and well, I'm not sure abt mccain, but Ill take him over the others as we will really be in for it if they win. Thanks for sharing this info.
