Several days ago I posted an email that was sent to me regarding the tax rates and federal taxes imposed under the presidency of Bill Clinton and George W Bush. I clearly stated that the data came from an email and provided a link to The Tax Foundation. I knew that tax rates have been lower during the presidency of George W Bush and that Democrats are generally known for raising taxes and Republicans for lowering taxes. I posted the email as received and wanted responses. I received a response that is typical of a certain political segment that is known for slinging insults and an agenda of hate. The poster used a derogatory term and therefore the post got deleted. It was ok to disagree with a post on this blog or me. However, it must be done in a civilized manner. I have posted corrected data which still shows a big difference between the taxes paid during the Clinton years versus while George W Bush has been in office. This is one of the many lies about George W Bush that have been told, that he only cuts taxes for the rich. The Republicans try to keep taxes lower for everybody that earns income and thus prevent government from taking more of our money. It belongs to us!
My friends, I urge you to seek the truth. Do real research and go beyond the political rhetoric and lies.

Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, lifelong Democrat comments
I just received a comment about Hillary and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. This was from a life long Democrat, and though I don’t agree with everything that was said, I respect the thought that went into it and I believe it is representative of the opinion of many voters. The comment was made by user mcswain, today, February 29, 2008. Here is the comment as submitted:
on Hillary, if I may……
I have been a lifelong Democrat. I have not missed an election in the last 40 years, literally.
This Obama fellow is what is needed now, it is his time; our time. I am much older than he.
It matters not whether he can deliver, no one can really now. But he brings Hope that may be he/we can. That is what is required now, Hope and hard work. Obama is that, that and a young man’s family’s energy. That and mixed race. That and International. That and Black in America.
Hillary also is about Hope. Resolve too. However, she and Bill had their shot. Took it, hit the mark, dead on. President and Mrs. Clinton. Twice. Undeniable. 8 years. Most everyone had a some good years. Enough.
Another Hillary however……. now it has become about her; them, Bill and Hillary. About obstinance, revenge, vindication, arrogance, pay-back, resolve and a bit of Hope. About Bill involving himself in scuffles and disturbances in the crowds. About Hillary not congratulating or even acknowledging Obama’s last, whatever is the number, of victories in a row. Ridiculous. Bill & Hillary’s time was together in the past. Help them off the stage before one of them falls off and gets hurt again.
OK, that’s it.
