Typical moronic ramblings of someone suffering from the sad condition of rightist-itis. Rob, Get a grip on reality. What you stated would only be true if we had a flat tax, which we do not. Enough said.
Ok.. Well maybe not "enough" .. not yet. This year, if you make between $138,000 and $288,000 your tax rate is 35 percent. An individual like myself, between $26,250 and $63,550 pays 27 percent. In 1999 My tax rate was 28% and a person making 200 grand a year was paying 36%
So, This particular "Idiot Moderate" is whipping out my handy dandy calculator and .. Holy Jesus! People who are in a lower tax bracket benefit the most! Oh my good lord! How could a meticulous right wing-nut like yourself miss the strongest part of your own argument? Blinded by your own fanaticism? Now don't go pulling your pork over this one Rob, because this "tax break" amounts to very little for Joe America, who paid about 12 percent after deductions in 1999 and who still pays 12 percent today after deductions.
The thing that Bush actually did was raise tax brackets... and to "hide" it he created one. No one ever paid income tax if they made less than 10 grand, but now we have a bracket for it. In order to make room for this new bracket, the existing top ends of each remaining bracket had to be raised. By raising tax brackets, he gave wealthier Americans a larger tax cut. We aren't talking about a mere one percentage point here either, we are talking 4 percentage points.
That just about covers your disinformation on taxes.. now lets move on to your second incorrect point; "Look at today's economy on a long-term graph and we are right where we should be."
I guess you don't read much literature on what is going on in the world if you happen to be a Moron. We have been in the midst of a recovery for about two years now. A recovery without Jobs. When the economy is in recovery, monthly job increases of about 300,000 are what is expected. We only hit that this last month. Why? Any ideas on the right? Because corporations moved jobs over seas. For TWO YEARS Bush has saying that the economy "continues on a solid path of recovery" while simultaneously enacting "Temporary Emergency Unemployment Compensation" because of a terrible economy. Oh yes, Bush has had a "keen eye" on job growh all right - if you happen to live in India or China.
Unless you are willing to put forth some effort into demonstrating what Clinton did wrong with the tech boom, I am just going to ignore that comment because I have already made my case about it. Besides that, you are completely incorrect.
Stop being such an idealogue and let actual facts determine your political stance.
