RESULTS:
INCOME TAX REVENUE BY YEAR: ( In Billions)

2006 = 1,398

WOW.. Now isn’t that Interesting.. How could revenue go UP, when taxes go DOWN ????

ANSWER:

Unemployment rates during same period: ( Going DOWN each year)
2003 = 5.7 to 6.3 %
2004 = 5.4 to 5.7 %
2005 = 4.8 to 5.4%

Those who do no learn from history are destined to repeat it!

Rich People Don’t Pay Taxes?

Question: Why do Republicans keep thinking that they’ll pay more taxes under Obama’s plan?

Why do Republicans keep saying that Obama is going to raise everyone’s taxes? According to the Tax Policy Institute, Obama’s plan would cut taxes for 80% of households. Another 10% would see no change in their taxes from today. And the wealthiest 10% would see an increase in their taxes. Furthermore, Obama’s plan would save middle-income families more than with McCain’s.

Here’s a chart from the Washington Post comparing Obama’s plan with McCain’s:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html

Obama has said that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts for people making over $250,000/yr. For middle-income families, Obama has pledged that you will not see any increase in your taxes, not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax, not any of your taxes. Barack Obama has pledged as such in his recent speech in Dover, NH (go to time 1:05 in the video):

Answer: Because they will. Despite the rhetoric on his economic page, growing gov’t with the programs he proposes have to be paid somehow and he aint gonna find it in a tree.

Question: SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS AFFECTING A JOB OFFER?

I went for an important job interview yesterday at a great non-profit. They seemed to really like me, and asked me to fill out a background/credit check form. Usually I have no problem with this (I have decent credit and nothing to worry about on my background check), but she mentioned something about using it to check my work history.

Now, I’m a soon to be college graduate. I don’t have much work history. What I put on my resume were jobs where I was given a tax-free stipend, so it’s not like I would pay taxes or have it show up on my background check.

I gave them professional references where they could call and check up on my resume – but do you think this work history thing will affect my prospects for getting the job?

Answer: The tax-free stipend should still appear on a background check…but i don’t believe it will affect your candidacy for this job. The background check is just to make sure that you haven’t been working under different names and etc. Good luck and congratulations!

Question: Is Pelosi’s new tax bill hidden in an energy bill?

This bill would ban 97% of available oil off of California and put a permanently ban within 50 miles of the USA shores. This would knock out the oil available off the North Shore of Alaska. It would also knock out 90% of all known oil reserves in the USA. Hidden within this is a revised a tax code change that would put massive costs to the American people to pay for unproven alternative energy. Pelosi’s bill was introduced last night to be voted on today without House or Senate debate or discovery. Pelosi and the Dems are already saying that if blocked by the Republicans that it proves the Dems are for energy solutions and not the Republicans. My question is: How can this type of Draconian legislation be forced down the throats of the American people? Does anyone, yes anyone, believe this is the way to solve our energy problems?

Answer: The bill also has
no nukes
no refineries
bans Anwr
bans clean coal
bans shale oil

And provides no incentives to states by not allowing revenue sharing with the state.

The Bill does have 10 billion in liberty bonds for Barney Franks district.
Wonderful!

It makes me sick
