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. 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. The Democrats with the help of the media have convinced a large percent of the American people, that the Bush tax cuts benefited only the wealthy. How many times have you heard it?
If you go to the link above, you'll find the tax brackets for all of the years since 1913. Do you remember the 70% tax bracket? That was before I started paying taxes, but I know it wasn't good. Elect a Democrat president and it could happen again.
Well, I'm a liberal conservative, so McCain is my guy! LOL Karen, don't even get me going on media... I watch BBC America for my news, news without the slant. ;-)
