But I can say definitively that a single person grossing about $30 K in 1999 under Clinton paid less than $3872 in taxes (assuming nothing but the standard deduction) 'cause I made under $33K that year and that's what I paid. Yes, I still have my tax forms from 1999, and from 98 and 97 all the way back to 83 - the first year I filed. In 97 I sat down and calculated the % of my income I had paid in taxes from 83 to 96 and found that I paid the lowest percent (even though I was earning more) under Clinton. Even in 97 when my income doubled from the year before and was $3K/year more than my highest pay under Raygun, I still paid less under Clinton. In 2000 (Clinton) my gross income was double what I made in 86 (Raygun) yet my tax rate was exactly the same (about 12.5%) both years.

Republicans can only get support by lying because no majority would ever vote for them if they told the truth
