Was 9/ll really that bad?

individual tax rates down to 10% for the lowest wage earners.

capital gains down to 5% and 10% for individuals

personal exemptions for low earners WAY up in the last 6 years (that is, the poor pay ZERO taxes, and if you have kids, you get FREE money given back to you)

I'm just getting started.

Zero taxes? You aren't fooling any one with that one.

lol..yes, if you are blaming him for the war.

if you want to blame congress for the war, then give credit to them for the tax reductions. either way, let's just stay consistent.

ynot is correct..the poor (family of four earning under $25,000) would pay ZERO in federal income tax. sales tax, SE tax, gas tax, etc may still apply.

but on their 1040 return, trust me, they pay ZERO, and they get back part of YOUR money that you paid in.

sweet that's the way its suppose to work...we take care of the poor. Oh wait are the wealthy and rich also helping the poor in this way or is it just the (declining) middle class?

I wonder if its that way in Ohio

I am not to "blame" him for the war? It was all congress' idea?

show me how the hell I can even begin to be consistent. I think being the president makes one accountable for a lot and so W get most of the blame.
