With an election coming up,,,,,
The following came in today as a forwarded email: Note that nearly all of the statements, include verification!!
Part 1:
In just one year. Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have
seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a
gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity
value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2
trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember it’s Congress that makes law not the President.
He has to work with what’s handed to him.
Quote of the Day…….”My friends, we live in the greatest nation in
the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to
change it.” — Barack Obama
Part 2:
Taxes…Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics
enlightening and amazing.

<http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html>
Taxes under Clinton 1999 &n bsp; Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single maki ng 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
Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates
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 Obama or H illary are elected, they both 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.
PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read
this:
Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the
propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is
bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
