Interesting information
This email comes in three parts....Make sure you Part 1
Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion
in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and
spends our money -not the President. He has to work with what's handed
to him.
Part 2:
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you
will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
Taxes under CLINTON-1999/
Taxes under BUSH-2008
Single earning: Clinton
Single earning: Bush
30K - taxed- $ 8,400
30K - taxed $ 4,500
50K - taxed $ 14,000
50K - taxed $ 12,500
75K - taxed $ 23,250
75K - taxed $ 18,750
Married earning: Clinton
Married earning: Bush
60K - taxed $ 16,800
60K - taxed $ 9,000
75K - taxed $ 21,000
75K - taxed $ 18,750
125K - taxed $ 38,750
125K - taxed $ 31,250
Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It is amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.
If elected, Barack Obama has already promised
that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts, and amazingly, a good portion of
the people who fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen.
PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
Read this: Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the
propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is
bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. Read on...

Since 1929, Republicans and Democrats have each controlled the presidency for nearly 40 years. So which party has been better for American pocketbooks and capitalism as a whole? Well, here’s an experiment: imagine that during these years you had to invest exclusively under either Democratic or Republican administrations. How would you have fared?
As of Friday, a $10,000 investment in the S.& P. stock market index* would have grown to $11,733 if invested under Republican presidents only, although that would be $51,211 if we exclude Herbert Hoover’s presidency during the Great Depression. Invested under Democratic presidents only, $10,000 would have grown to $300,671 at a compound rate of 8.9 percent over nearly 40 years.
