    Obama must have "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" as his economic advisor!

    He's done no such thing.

    Bush ran our country into the toilet by stealing our past, current, and future tax revenues (several decades worth) and handing it over to his buddies at Halliburton via Iraq. This is money that should have been and needed to be invested in our country's infrastructure, economy, education, and healthcare. All these things still need to be paid for, and now we have an 8 year backlog that needs to be caught up in addition. Whatever it costs to save us from Bush's treason/incompetence and restore this country to it's previous greatness is all on Bush.

    Pretty much the same as if your accountant was supposed to pay your mortgage and business expenses but instead payed none of your bills and borrowed trillions in your name and skipped off to the Cayman Islands.

    Was it the accountant you now hired to try and save you from ruin (Obama), or was it your thieving accountant (Bush) who did this?

    I appreciate you shamelessly demonstrating your ignorance for everyone to see. You're a brave man.

    If there was ever any indication in your posts that you had even the slightest clue how the world works, I might take your criticism seriously. :cheers:

    So, let's recap. This thread is about taxes paid on income earned when George Bush was president, pursuant to tax rates established when George Bush was president (although with a Democratic congress for the last two years). The tax rates are historically low, and significantly lower than those in effect during every other major economic expansion that has occurred since WWII. [Incidentally, after his initial tax cuts, Ronald Regan spent the remainder of his presidency raising taxes.] Yet, because some of you have to pony up $85, it is somehow a referendum on Barak Obama. Got it.

    For the record, I underpaid my taxes during the year and wrote a check for roughly $7,000. Is that a lot? Or is it

    Change!
