Hey guys & gals...

I need your help, I recently received another piece of BS propoganda that I would like you help on debunking. I intend to formulate my response to the e-mail based on your help. Here is what is in the e-mail:



Subject: FW: The truth of Taxation.....READ BEFORE YOU VOTE!
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:13:54 +0000

If this doesn’t make you want to RUN out and vote, nothing will !!!!!!

“After watching a focus group of democrats that watched the democratic debate the other day in Vegas, I was very upset!

For the most part, all of them bashed Bush over and over again on how he is out for his millionaire friends and the big oil companies and he has totally forgotten or disregarded the little guy.

So being an ex-IRS employee, I decided to look back on the tax tables to see if there is any truth to what they said and the media keeps stating as fact, "Bush is only out for the rich in this country."

Based on using the actual tax tables (see link below), here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples. So, let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich

http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html ß CHECK IT OUT, IT’S FACT!


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


If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. The problem is they are simply wrong.

If any democrat is elected, ALL of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen!

This is like the movie the Sting with Paul Newman, you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened. Now, this is effective (not honest) marketing. Or maybe a better word is brain washing.


PASS THIS ON.........


Please help me stick it to the person who sent this when I do a reply to all people who received this. Thanks!
