GOOD VS BAD! I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so I'll know how to vote come November. Let's put it all down in black and white. Maybe I'll understand it better.

I'm not clear on how either is good or bad. Its the results that count.

Ahh, it's so confusing!
Stop listening to the president and perhaps it would be more clear.
Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden
on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice anything special about those dates?
Yea, because Bush put the country back into debt to provide that date. Let's see how long it takes to climb back out of that debt.
Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation and provided no data for this claim.
I'm paying higher taxes now than i was 4 years ago. And no, i don't mean just more taxes, I mean a higher tax rate. And even if my salary was identical to what it was 4 years ago, I'd still be paying more.
Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
So?
Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound
right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own.
And its Kerry's fault that his accountants are smarter than Bush's?
