Yeah I know..."What! a politician told a lie??? my god who would have guessed?" Im hoping he was telling the truth, I see no need to give the class envy types even more ammo. |

Although not a US citizen, I have to wonder just wtf Bush is doing to you guys, and why he appears to be so highly acclaimed.
Don't get me wrong, Canada certainly has it's issues as well, but blowing the national debt completely out of proportion while doing nothing to improve the quality of lives for it's citizens isn't number one. C'mon guys a $500 billion deficit by the end of the year? You can't tell me this is in the best interest of the American peoples.

Have you caught any economic news over the last three years ? I'm no economist, but usually if there is smoke there is fire. I never said that tax cuts were bad, and I dunno why no democrats are campaigning for higher taxes. I'm not a democrat, nor do I have any desire to be one. [img]smile.gif[/img] I just made the observation that Bush has pushed through 2 tax cuts previously with promises of economic stimulus during his administration that have not seemed to work. If his tax cuts have worked I would love to see some facts to back that up.

[/QUOTE]Ok, well then to be more recent, my best friend is in this tax bracket (towards the lower end), and she's paying taxes. And the time frame I was talking about was as recent as 5 years ago. I ain't THAT old [img]tongue.gif[/img] (hehe) edit: Part of this could be from living in NY State, so maybe that's why those I know in this bracket are paying taxes (ie maybe they're state not fed). If you earn $25 for the entire year in NY State, after the standard deduction, you still owe money ($1). [ 05-30-2003, 09:31 AM: Message edited by: harleyquinn ]

if she is actually paying taxes then I believe she is doing something wrong. After all is said and done she should be ending up with a total federal tax of $0 or close to it...but most likely gets a refund that is basicly everything she put into the federal income taxes...you have to seperate federal income tax from pay roll taxes for things like social security and medicare and whatnot...the tax cuts only address the FI tax. Oops...missed what you said about state taxes....thats whole different kettel of fish....and I have more than one bone to pick with state governemtns and their outrageous taxations.

MagiK, my most recent info indicates families below $10.5K pay no taxes. As I mentioned above, however, those in the $10.5K to $26K range DO pay taxes. And, they are cut off from the child care credits.
