Tax Day
Every year an independent tax watch dog group analyzes the average tax
burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is
the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has
been since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in2000.
Notice anything special about those dates?
Today John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are
actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no
explanation and provided no data for this claim.
Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy
men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions,
all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an
old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000.
Does that sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously
has figured out a way to avoid paying his own.
Only a little over 100 days until the election.
P.S. The company his wife is heir to, H J Heinz, is one of the largest food
manufacturers in the United States, yet 76% of Heinz foods jobs
that used to be in the US are now overseas!!! How could anyone
vote for someone who promises to stop sending jobs out of this
country when his own wife's company is doing just what he says
he will stop??? Are you confused? I certainly am.
I'm feverishly trying to claw my way out of the upper lowerclass. This guy is insane, war record or no war record
