Seems odd chart. Must not acct for inflation. Carter looks great in that

Obama
has added that much in less than 2 years.

guess you dont know what bush did about the economy...

How could he? He's a coward, so he was hiding under the bed.

that's true. he merely does what he's told

I retired at 59, I watched my investments. And the tax rate on middle class
is low. Greg said he paid about $7700 on $80k. Do not know why he paid so
much. I am looking at less than that in taxes perecentage wise, but I
bought a $34,000 Toyota for wife in April last year. Nice sales tax
deduction. I have no mortgage, so that is not helping the deductions.

ROFLMAO!! why he paid so much...i paid over 20,000 in federal taxes
alone and that's AFTER my mortgage deduction. the middle class doesnt
get the tax cuts the rich do. we pay the taxes AND we pay for the rich
when the screw the economy

I am middle class. I am not rich. Comfortable, but a long ways from rich.
Maybe you should see a good tax advisor, or maybe because you are really
rich you pay all that tax.

If you were a better investor you might be retired by now. I was 49.


Hmmm.... I supposed I could retire any time, and I'm not close to 49, but I
happen to like what I do (now).

unfortunately i trusted wall street and unregulated free markets.
they're liars, just like limballs.

and i used to work for ATT. seems those market geniuses were so
proficient that 100,000 people lost their jobs

you dont get it, do you?
