Right Wing Lies
This is a copy of e-mail sent to me:

Our economy is as weak as a kitten, crawling out of a horrible recession and Congress is on the verge of letting the Bush tax cuts expire.

Yes, it's true. On Dec. 31 of this year, all of the Bush tax cuts will expire completely in one fell swoop.


Sen. Fred Thompson

Unless Congress acts, those tax hikes are going to hit like a ton of bricks.

When the Bush cuts expire, income tax rates will rise by 10 percent or more for every tax bracket.

Capital gains taxes will rise by one-third, and the top rate on dividend taxes will almost triple.

These tax increases will have a devastating effect on the economy.

They will crush jobs, deliver a fresh dose of misery to small business owners, and if you’re wondering whether or not your taxes are going to go up, here’s your answer:

If you pay taxes, your tax bill is going up — way up!

2. The disconnect:
"Our economy is as weak as a kitten, crawling out of a horrible recession and Congress is on the verge of letting the Bush tax cuts expire."

3. Never mind that said tax cuts is what helped create a deficit that the cons are now saying don't
matter just as they did when they voted for said tax cuts. On the other hand you have to love how their ego's always get the best of them when they pull numbers out of their ass and because they posted those numbers that is the only proof needed to make their numbers facts. Whats even funnier is when confronted with proof backed with fact they turn to personal attacks because you attacked their personal facts that they pulled out of their ass.
