Clinton vs. Bush years - Income Taxes

Anonymous Guest Article - We confirmed the data and proved the links: Something to pass along to our liberal friends. Most liberals won't take the time to confirm these figures as they want only to believe what the national news networks and celeb's say, but perhaps some will at least allow the information to remain somewhere in the back of thought process. Based on using the actual tax tables, here are examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples. so let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich.

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750

If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama 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. [Data from The Tax Foundation]
