That Evil President Bush

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Based on using the actual tax tables, here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples:

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K – tax $8,400 Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $14,000 Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $23,250 Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K – tax $16,800 Married making 60K – tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $21,000 Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $38,750 Married making 125K – tax $31,250

See www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html for verification.

So was Clinton really that great? Is Bush only helping his Big Oil buddies? Do you really want Pelosi to roll back the Bush tax cuts?

Remember that both Obama and Hillary want to take you back to the Bill Clinton era of taxes … and then add some taxes to that. This November you can certainly vote with your wallet, and should.
