ANALYZE THE DEMOCRAT PROMISE......... The Democrats new promise "A New Direction For America - Vote Democratic" The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401 K's are back. A new direction from there means, what? Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means, what? Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means, what? Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what? Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what? The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means. what? Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what? Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what? Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what? Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what? Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what? Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of! their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what? Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect: The economy to go South Illegal's to go North Taxes to go Up Employment to go Down Terrorism to come In Tax breaks to go Out Social Security to go away Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone But what the heck ! I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy P, Hillory C, John K, Edward K, Howard D, Harry R and Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U.S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same name and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan. I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan. Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep soooooo much better at nights knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare.
Did you think that up all by yourself? You know, it's polite to cite your sources. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.society.generation-x/browse_thread/thread/8b4f3821a3234975 http://talk.rgj.com/viewtopic.php?t=10559 http://happycarpenter.blogs.com/the_happy_carpenter/2006/11/the_democrats_n.html http://www.marketwatch.com/discussi...entId=3&forumId=32&boardId=21288&msgId=214703 etc. (Guessing you got it in a chain letter e-mail.) Apparently it's been bouncing around the internet since before the election, but what is the point of posting it now? The election is over, the Democratic Party won control of both houses of Congress, let's see what they do with it. I'm not going to go through the whole thing point by point, but just for example: Adjusted for inflation, the stock market has not yet reached its highest point during the Clinton administration. Again, not when you adjust for inflation. And the fastest growing component of tax revenue is FICA, which any ethical accounting system would not count as revenue. The federal deficit is at record highs. Milton Friedman, hero of conservatives, stated that a tax cut that is not accompanied by corresponding cuts in spending is not a tax cut. During the Clinton Administration, there was a bi-partisan agreement referred to as "pay-go" meaning any tax cuts would be accompanied by corresponding spending cuts; that has fallen by the wayside in the Bush administration. The borrow and squander Republicans prefer, instead, to defer taxes to future generations.
http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2005-11-01-real-estate-usat_x.htm from what i have read the housing market is soft in many areas and that sellers are even offering incentives w/ the sale of their homes including plasma tvs etc. --- and if home valuations are up then property tax re-evaluations won't be far behind and anyway you look at it that is a tax increase ----
