Just because things are going well on Wall Street, doesn't mean things are going well on Main Street. But Some of you will never get that.

if you're telling me that the net amount of taxes you no longer pay under the Bush plan is $600 that means either you are not in the 60-70k range or you do not file your taxes correctly.

the diff between 36% of 60k and 25% of 60k is $6600... you can NOT be paying that $6600 because you aren't taxed for it anymore med. i'm not talking about what you get in your return, i'm talking what you pay to the gvnmnt.

Yeah a 60K earner really made out under the Bush tax cuts, My wife is an expert tax person and she also does taxes for a living, when I say 600 bucks, I mean 600 bucks, unless you have 8-10 kids, you must have cheated if you made enough to buy a house, I think you are FOS.

i didn't say i got enough back to buy a freakin house. i get to keep enough of what i earn to make a diff. the fed has actually been keeping my refunds for a few years to pay back what i owe from the clinton tax code. we were poor as dirt and still had to pay the gvnmnt back then...thank goodness we were given a chance by a fair president with a realistic picture of how the middle class works.

better send your wife to the IRS website, they changed the tax code several years ago, sounds like you are donating money to the gvnmnt med.

She is up on every inch of the tax code, she does 3-5 sets of taxes a week, for all sorts of people. she also does three sets of medium businesses (25-40 employees) And has never failed an audit, She told me that the Bush tax cuts would save us about 600 dollars a year, now are you calling her a liar. The people that benefited from the Bush tax cuts were the 100,000 per year and up. People below 50,000 didn't see hardly any, and that is where 90% of the people are. If you made enough more to buy a house and you couldn't afford it before, I'm rather suspicious. You must have gotten a giant raise because the tax cuts for 60K certainly weren't sufficient to pay house payments. I don't know where you live, but House payments range from 600.00 up and 600.00 don't buy you squat unless you live in Oklahoma in the tornado belt. The average house payment around here is about 1400.00.

By any and all objective criteria, the economy is doing far better than during the Bubble Clinton Economy.....
And guess what?....This boom is not a bubble....
Reality sucks!

Well if you're a business owner, a stockholder, an enteuprenuer, a politician, an investor, etc. you're so right. if you're a wage earner, you're taking it up the ass. wages are stagnant at best and everything is going up. Health care, energy, housing, you name it. It costs more now than when Dubya came in to office. Real wages have actually gone down. For the top 20%, the economy is booming. The rest of us are being fucked! I am really tired of this right wing fantasy of the booming economy. It Is a very selective few that are getting boomed.

med you are so wrong that it makes my teeth hurt!
Pray tell, where are ANY stats to support this balderdash you are spewing?
