Thread: US Presidential Campaign 2008

Oh really? Let's compare tax rates of the Clinton administartion and GWB shall we?



GWB gave a big tax break to the super-rich, I believe, meanwhile the cost of living has increased during his tenure and wages stagnated; how does this benefit the middle class and working poor, compared to Clinton? Facts, please.

I agree with you. (But I don't know if you're referring to me.)

I was referring to the Democratic party - not Bill Clinton.

Yes, GWB gave tax cuts to the top, while the Middle Class slow sinks, every year, and the working class declines as well.

Both parties tax the middle class.

The trend of wage stagnation, and higher COL (cost of living) started about 35 years ago, and will continue.

Bill Clinton IMO, was one of the better Presidents the US has had many decades.

He also practiced the fiscal policy of "Pay as you go" as the deficit charts illustrates.

And good charts by you, Hootad.

I agree with you.
