What is the ol' saying..."Watch out for what you wish for!" Knowing the RightWing lemming like to spout data and poll numbers when they can spin them their way, lets look at some hard data and FACTS: Going back to Hoover and each president since then and looking at the increase/decrease in jobs during their terms you would find the following-- During all the years in which a Republican was sitting in the White House since 1929 you would find the total jobs created total a WHOPPING, HUMONGOUS, ENORMOUS, STUPEFYING, ASTOUNDING, GIGANTIC......19.1%. Since 1929 and when you total the number of jobs created in our economy when a Democrat was in the White House you would find that the total number of jobs created was a meager 111.9%. How sad!!!!

According to the information on the site I posted, here is the breakdown(i.e., re the effect of the tax cut): Accelerate tax rate reductions that were scheduled for 2004 & 2006. Tax Brackets 35% 33% 28% 25% 15% 10% Result: Lower tax bills for those in the top four tax brackets because rates have been cut at least two percentage points per bracket. Those who will benefit in 2003 are taxpayers with incomes over: · $28,400 (single) · $56,800 (married filing jointly, and qualifying widow(er)s) · $38,050 (head of household), and · $28,400 (married filing separately) ______________________________________________ What is the actual rate being paid by those below these cut-offs? Exactly what is Rather measuring--dollars or percentages?
