For example, the bottom 60% of families gained about 2% in income between '80 and '93, even though the number of workers per household increased significantly more than that. I looked this up once, and can again, but IIRC the mean weekly pay for non-management workers fell about 20% during that period. The Bush tax cut will accelerate that. Clinton showed he got the right balance of taxes and spending, and managed to produce a surplus. If you believe that the difference in the income rise of most people during Clinton years and during the Reagan/Bush 1 & 2 years is just a coincidence, then I've got a great deal for you on a great house that just needs some work on a Texas beach.

I'm not getting into a statistic quoting war because I like to lie honestly.
If the genius Clintoon was doing such a great job, why was the message for the second campaign 'It's still the economy, stupid?' Why was the country headed into a recession four years later? Eight years and you want to say he had the right balance? You are holding a stick of wood exclaiming what a wonderful post, while the chair it came from is useless with only three legs. What are you blaming the end on, the republicans holding the house, i.e. spending?
No. You can give all the money you want to the greedy bastards. My brother can give all the money he wants. I want to give as little as possible. I am 100% not saying I don't believe in the greedy bastards programs. I want national defense, safe meat, nice roads, people that shit in jars and call it art, head start, food for other nations, and whatever long list you want to come up with. But the tax code is so widely out of balance that nothing short of total reform will fix it.
I'm being discriminated against. I'm single, have no kids, and make a nice salary. I don't care what you think, but don't tell me what to do with my money.

Time to enjoy a nice venison dinner, totally produced by me from hoof to table.
