    Are you saying that Obama is for the tax cuts or that Pooks' numbers are off?

    Here is the thread, with the source inside.

    Single making 30K - back in 1999 under Clinton paid $8,400 in Taxes.

    Single making 30K in 2008 after Bush tax cuts pays $4,500 in taxes.

    so a person making 30k saves $4000 a year tnx to Republican tax cuts.

    ---

    Like I mentioned before.. the Democrats always try to associate the middle class with the poor, with people who have no jobs, are on welfare and other wack ass stuff...

    I've been a middle class citizen since I left High School in 1999...
    Thats 8 years of employment.. and as far as welfare goes.. I've been on unemployment maybe 1 month..

    and the vast majority of middle class American's can relate to that..

    the fact is we do not have much in common at all with the poor of this nation.. So the democrats trying to group us with the drug dealer, and heroin addicts is a faulty argument.

    on the other hand, I believe we can relate a lot more closely with the wealthy and the well off in this nation..

    and with Bush tax cuts, and more tax cuts in the future if Republicans stay in office, we can use that money to help launch our own businesses, and really get America going again, like back in 03-07 years.

    Which will create more opportunities and more jobs for even those that are on hard times.. and than if responsible they can also start their own businesses.

    Bush's tax cuts were nice, but let's not kid ourselves and think that this has any real value when government spending continues to grow. Being fiscally conservative means more than just tax cuts.
