Just in case you're longing for the 90's and Bill Clinton, consider this...

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 Barack Obama is elected, he will say he 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.

It's a freakin joke. Clinton called this Obamamedia love affair a "funhouse". Well, Bill, welcome to the carnival.

You're in the psyyyyyy..... you're in the psycho circus.

And I say welcome to the show.

So, a couple pays 10(ish)% less under Bush in taxes, but the US dollar is worth 40% less than it was when little he took office (look it up).

I agree that clinton sucks. He triangulated us into the W... However, the clinton at least made you (Us/America & even other countries) feel good as he sold us (like a GM car salesperson talking us into a Hummer purchase in 2005 when gas was $2/gallon)into bad deals.

Lies, statistics, and you know the rest.

Good try, though.
