I was just reading Kos and found a thread about a woman in AL who was fired by her boss for having a Kerry bumper sticker on her car. Among other things, it mentions that the employer included this note in the envelopes when he paid his employees:
"Just so you will know, because of the Bush tax (cut):
I was able to buy the new Hammer Mill
I was able to finance our receivables
I was able to get the new CAT skid steer
I was able to get the wire cutter
I was able to give you a job
You got the benefit of the Bush tax cut. Everyone did." A lot of people on Kos were outraged that he would include such a note in an office setting, as am I, but I would also like to know how truthful it was. Is he referring to the personal income tax cut he received? And if so, assuming he's a wealthy man, would the difference in the amount of taxes he was paying pre-cut compared to post-cut really be large enough to account for all of the things he listed?
Could someone more educated than I help me out here?
