Try it this time instead of knee-jerking. *You may, with hard work,
overcome your many deficiencies.


guess you missed the part that the rich get a 3.8% tax cut


the middle class? 1.5%.


this is why the economy collapsed. the middle class gets zip. we cant
spend because the weatlhy keep taking more and more.


try looking at the figures yourself. *a guy making 50K gets 772 in tax
cuts. a person making a million gets far far more.


Wrong. *The family making 50k got a 48% reduction in taxes. *All of
the other giveaways are phased out by the time you hit $200k or so.
You just don't want to see (or are incapable of seeing?) the big
picture. *But you are a good parrot of the liberal lies.


ah. i see you don't know how to do percentages

a guy making 50K gets a tax cut of 772. *that's 1.5% of *income


The top 20% of taxpayers have a larger tax liability under the Bush
tax cuts than they did before the cuts. The bottom 80% all have a
smaller tax liability. And within that top 20%, the top 5% is the
only segment who's liability went up, meaning if you made $136k or
less your liability stayed the same or went down. So, the top 5%
shoulders a larger percentage of the tax burden after the cuts than
before the cuts.

See table 4 at http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/323.html

The top 20% pays 81% of the taxes, and the top 5% pays 60%. Stop your
whining.
