WSJ: Zero TAX difference between Kerry & Shrub -Married Couple @190k/yr

This freaks out the repugs. On 8/26/04 the WSJ ran a comparison of the Kerry tax plan vs shrubs (page D2).

There is a chart. For married couple with two children under age ...earning $190,000 year....THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE IS TAXES.

For 95% of America that earns this amount of less.... there is NO Benefit or difference.

It's in the Wall Street Journal so go tell the undecided's ....sing from the mountain top and go burst a repug brain by telling them
the truth.

SO for all the repug lying assholes who talk taxes..shove this in their piehole.

(under both plans each couple would pay $30,500/year)

2. The other big canard is the hurt "Small Business" crap Bush spews

Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 12:38 PM by RobertSeattle

Most small businesses pay their federal taxes through their owners (as sole proprietors, partnerships, or S-corps), so the owners basically pay their federal taxes based on PROFIT - not income. So when Bush spews the crap about Small Business he's referring to small business with a profit more than 200K/year per owner - which is a pretty successful small business and probably far from the norm.

Anytime the GOP starts defending "small business" or "small farms" the BS detector should be about to go off.

8. Only 2% of small businesses have a profit over over 200,000 per year!

Bush won't tell you that.
