Ahh, it's so confusing!

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?

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.

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).

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.

Pass this on. Only 45 days until the election.

This thing is going out of bounds. Even people here in Iceland has heard enough of this fighting about how's better. You people just vote what you think and don't try convince half the country that theire decision is so much vorse than your own.

There are always counter-arguments, but I'm glad you posted this.

I can't vote, but I would if I could.

Thanks again.

Data??? Why, there's no need for data. You just need to believe. After all, John Edwards said last night that he and John Kerry will tell the truth. What more do you need that the word of a slick personal injury lawyer? (...who proceded to tell lie after lie after lie after...)
