I got this link via my GodFather. (who rocks by the way). Gives some interesting facts regarding the two Presidential Candidates and their views on taxes. Some I knew, some I didn't.
It's rather ironic that he sent this today. I just got my first check stub since they straightened out my pay issues. Oh yeah, got to the gross. Nice, very nice. Looked at the net - WTF?!?! The net was only about $150 more on a sizably larger check. Why?!? Taxes. Yep, I get slammmed. And I have no deductions. None. But you know what? I'm not gonna complain. Now that I know my check is right, it's the boundary I have to live with. Make more money, pay more taxes. That's the way it's supposed to work. Do I like it? No. Hell no. Would I like to pay less? Yes. Very much so. Do I want to see another tax increase? Not in a million years. That's just another reason I will be voting for Bush. He seems to have a better understanding of economics than Kerry does. Bush understands that if there is more money in my pocket, I'll be sure and share it with the rest of the economy. If there is more money in my pocket I will happily contribute more to charities that work to help people help themselves. I don't have a problem paying what I need to to keep this country safe and running as smoothly as possible. I do however, have a problem paying more money to make it possible for others to do the things that I cannot afford to do. But that is another post altogether.
Anyway - just thought I'd share this little clip with ya'll.
