This email comes in three parts<\/span>:
\nPart 1<\/span>
\nIn just two years . Remember the election in 2006?
\nThought you might like to read the following:
\nA little over one year ago:
\n1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1\/2 year high;
\n2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
\n3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
\nSince voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
\n1) Consumer confidence plummet;
\n2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
\n3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
\n4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
\n5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
\n6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
\nAmerica voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
\nRemember it’s Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what’s handed to him.
\nQuote of the Day……..”My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.” — Barack Obama
\nPart<\/span> <\/span>2:<\/span>
\nTaxes…Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
\n<\/span>www.taxfoundation.org\/publications\/show\/151.html<\/a>
\nTaxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
\nSingle making 30K – tax $8,400 Single making 30K – tax $4,500
\nSingle making 50K – tax $14,000 Single making 50K – tax $12,500
\nSingle making 75K – tax $23,250 Single making 75K – tax $18,750
\nMarried making 60K – tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
\nMarried making 75K – tax $21,000 Married making 75K – tax $18,750
\nMarried making 125K – tax $38,750 Married making 125K – tax $31,250
\nBoth democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates
\nIt is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can’t wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don’t even know what happened. PART 3:<\/span>
\nYou think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

\nWhy are we THAT stupid?
\nIf this doesn’t bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, D.C. – five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
