Thanks to Don O'Nesky from Sarasota, Florida for pointing out this fascinating information.
The tables below show how much federal income taxes Americans paid at the end of the Clinton Administration and currently under the Bush Administration. The numbers are striking. The middle class is paying much less under President Bush across the board.
You will hear many Democrats running for President and in Congress say that the middle class is worse off under President Bush than they were under President Clinton. That is simply a lie.
The numbers may be verified by going to
TaxFoundation.org.
Taxes under Clinton 1999 Single making 30K - tax $8,400
