Subject: Tax Day
Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the
average tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax
Freedom Day". This is the day after which the money you
earn goes to you, not the government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest
it has been since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which
occurred in 2000
Notice anything special about those dates?
Today John Kerry gave a speech in which he
claimed Americans are actually paying more taxes under Bush,
despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation and provided no
data for this claim.
Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and
John Kerry are wealthy men.
Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas.
Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. (His
ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe
in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does
that sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes
obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own.
Pass this on. Only 202 days until the election.
