I guess keeping the taxes lower on the working folks like me per Bush and made permanent by Obama did some good. You wonder if you and others will ever give president Bush credit for a good idea that president Obama made permanent with corrections on the rich with higher rates on unearned income above a fairly high threshold. I am honest enough to give them BOTH credit. |
