		<description>Ahh yes the Clinton years. Clinton road the surf of the computer age. Without every family in America buting a computer, monitor, wireless mouse, inter net service Clinton would of been another liberal. Liberlas believe the World loves us more with Progressives in the White House. Remember all the Europeans cheering Obama or was it free beer they were cheering. 

Under Clintons watch derivatives, Fannie &amp; Freddie Mac and bad lending practices visa vi government fines lead to our destruction. There is actually video of Clinton himself saying &quot;he told liberals they needed to back off.&quot;

Under Clintons watch we were attacked multiple times all the while he was under his desk with interns. Not only was this guy asleep at the wheel but reduced our military by 50%. 

The only thing Clinton did well was minimize his additions to our national debt. He did not leave the national debt at zero like you sheep believe. He added to the debt regardless of what you are told or want to believe.

p.s Clinton NEVER reduced the NATIONAL DEBT. Would you like to see the facts?

balanced budgets and a budget surplus.????????</description>

		<description>Oh goodie, we&#039;re going back to the Clinton years, when taxes were higher! But, did this mean prosperity for all? Hardly!

I seem to recall during that time when things were terrible. When the Republicans took control of Congress, many of Clinton&#039;s wacky schemes were trampled to the ground. It was because of the Republican Congress that many people had it good. 

However, it was also a time when government lying was at its apogee. Unemployment &quot;numbers&quot; were at 5%, real numbers were at 11%. If you were a White male you had a rotten time getting a job with all the liberal reverse discrimination (I should know, I STARVED during the Clinton years). Today, we are told that unemployment is at 9.5%, although this too is a lie, as many unfortunates have been dropped from the rolls, and like the Clinton years, these poor people are &quot;out of sight, out of mind.&quot; Those who are counted as &quot;employed&quot; are working part-time (often temporary), at jobs that they are WAY overqualified for. Like the Clinton years, those working two part-time jobs are counted as TWO people employed, not one. Conversely, those who&#039;ve had it with economic ups and downs and who have started their own businesses are not counted as &quot;employed,&quot; in fact, they are not counted at all! No wonder this &quot;president&quot; is anti-small business, he does not even know all the small businesses that are out there, as not all have been counted as such!

Added to the higher Federal taxes are new and more destructive state taxes. Governors, their eye on the next elections, try to please all by trying to keep the &quot;benefits&quot; gravy train running, even though this train has as passengers unionized government &quot;workers,&quot; and minorities who receive these &quot;benefits.&quot; The average taxpayer is forced to subsidize these drones. State governors and state legislators do not have the internal fortitude to not only cancel the &quot;benefits&quot; gravy train, but to also tear up the track! 

As usual politicians and bureaucrats, playing the class warfare game, are only too happy to tax the heck out of the &quot;rich&quot; small businesses - forgetting that the small business can pack up and head for sunnier climes, leaving a wake of unemployed people behind. Although often enough a small business cannot move operations to a foreign country like a larger business can, a small business can head for another state - one where state government is only too happy to lavish TLC on another taxpayer and employer. 

When does all this &quot;tax and spend&quot; end? When parents take a more active part in their childrens education - when these children are educated enough that they need to vote for politicians who stand for the Constitution - and not for some liar who practices class warfare, and who is more than happy to open the public treasury to their cronies.</description>

		<description>Barb,
the withholding of taxes on your paystub is not what you actually pay in taxes. go by the line on your tax return that says &quot;Tax&quot;, as on line 44 on the standard form 1040 of 2008. In my mind, your real effective tax rate is that # divided by ALL of your income. Anything that reduces your gross income, ie. deductions, is a way of reducing the percentage of your income you actually pay the government. When you do this it puts a whole different perspective on it. And it is why everybody tries to use as many deductions and credits as they can!!

		<description>Ain&#039;t that the truth Greg. On and shortly after 9/11 friends in both Canada and the USA asked what we should do. I suggested donate blood.

As we all remember, it seemed as though this nation rose with one voice and asked the President what we should do. We were told, &quot;Go shopping.&quot;

That from the man who stood on the rubble of the WTC and proclaimed, &quot;The people who did this will hear from all of us soon.&quot;

And just look were &quot;Go shopping&quot; has brought us.

As you know I&#039;m a dual citizen, US/Canada. Sometimes I get so mad that I intentionally use bad grammar.</description>

		<description>Greg,

I just checked my paystub.  I am currently paying 10% in federal taxes.  It states above that the 10% bracket will be eliminated.  Does this mean that my tax bracket will increase to 28%???  That is almost triple.  I can&#039;t pay that.

I hope I&#039;m reading this wrong.

		<description>Bob,
I have always said if the wars were such a national security issue, we all should have paid for them.  The only people who have been suffering and sacrificing are the men and women of the armed forces.  The bill is coming due, and we will all do some paying and suffering now.  Thank you for your comment.
