  • THE GOVERMENT SAYS TO WATCH OUR SPENDING AND I HAVE,HOWEVER, HOW DO YOU GET THINGS DONE WHEN THE GOP OPPOSE EVERY THING YOU DO,OR NEED TO BE DONE?

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA STAY STRONG,YOU ARE SOLID THE PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE YOU NEED TO STOP IT. US, SHOULD NOT GO INTO DEFAULT HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT WORKING WITH YOU. AND IT WILL BE ON THEMALSO.!!!

  • This presentation brought to you by Wall Street.

  • What Tax Cuts were those? What things were they cutting? Was it only for that year? What about the year after that? Where is the Law (Tax Reform Law) that President Reagan signed? Why is it called an Act? What is an Act? What do you mean Top Tax Rate? I don't get it!! What is going on?!!??

  • From: A History of Income Tax in the USA:

    In 1981 Congress enacted the largest tax cuts in US history: approximately $750B

    over six years. On Oct 26, 1986 President Reagan signed into law the Tax Reform Act, in which the top tax rate was lowered from 50% to 28% : the lowest it had been since 1916. R Reagan: Rich Guy Republican.

  • @willypdyer If it 36%. Actually, the man to cut the top tax rate the most in American history is a guy named John F. Kennedy, yes, that liberal icon.

  • Hey Obama, instead of standing up for fudgepackers, stand up for Americans. It is radical democrats who ironically call themselves progressive that cling to these social programs of the past & do not help eliminate poverty, they encourage it. If you refuse to change the social programs they will be gone altogether because America will be bankrupt. But hey, fighting for the end of don't ask don't tell was more important than saving America's finances. Obama is a failure.

  • "The Bush Budget Less Help for People in Need; ...

    Feb 8, 2007 ... The Bush Administration's FY 2008 budget would make its tax cuts ... cut $27 billion over 10 years). Pressures on states, including the cuts" Most people know that Bush has put all the cut in place and there is not much you can do about it. However, keeping the American people well informed helps them to adjust to the unjust cut and make a adjustment in their living due to your timely informed information on the budget cuts.

  • Why can't we have honest people in gov't, why do they all lie to us? I think it's time for a new party to take over, hopfully in 2012 we vote these evil people out

  • I recently heard that the tax rate for the 'rich' used to be like somewhere between 50-90%

    Does anyone here know what it is now ?
