Your taxes

So I just got a survey in the mail today about our nation's taxes. Usually I throw away surveys unless they offer me free stuff. However, this one caught my attention because I dislike taxes like most right thinking Americans should! Well I actually learned something from this survey and thought I would share my new found wisdom.

1.President Bush's historic tax relief packages are set to expire, which would result in "the biggest tax increase in our nation's history"-Wall Street Journal

2. If President Bush's tax cuts do expire the American people will face a 2.4 trillion tax hike!

3. Did you know that almost 8 million jobs have been created due to President Bush's tax cuts?

4. Did you know that if the Democrats who now control Congress get their way in cutting President Bush's tax cuts, 42 million American families with children will see an average tax hike of $2,084?

5. Did you know that on average Americans pay almost 40% of their earnings each year in federal taxes?! Count on that percent to skyrocket if America gets Universal Health care under Obama or Clinton.

6. Did you know that small business owners will see on average a $3,637 tax increase if President Bush's tax cuts expire?

7. Liberals in Congress, especially Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have talked about reinstating the Death Tax, which would increase taxes by almost 90 billion. The Death Tax is horrible for small businesses.

8. American families will face a tax increase of as much as 100% if President Bush's tax cuts expire.

9. By repealing the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, liberals in Congress would reinstate the Marriage Penalty that forces married couples to pay higher taxes than single taxpayers.

Maybe some people read these facts and are thinking "yes it is about time". But these people are called socialists and are not looking out for your best interests. In simplistic terms socialists want to redistribute wealth. Hillary Clinton has promoted this idea in several of her speeches. "Progressives" as Hillary likes to call herself are really socialists. An excellent book to read about the history of "progressives" in America is by Jonah Goldberg "Liberal Fascism". It will make you take a closer look at the Democrats trying to become CEO of the USA.
