Maybe the overall tax revenue would increase if 32,000 Georgia state employess wouldn't have "neglected" to file tax returns. I wonder how many liberals didn't pay their fair share of taxes in '03?
3 years of recession will lead to income shrinkages and fewer jobs... thanks again Bill.
That's funny, I find just the opposite to be true.
WEll at least he CEOs are taking care of themselves with an average of a 15% pay raise in the last year.

Oh really?
This does not take into consideration the years 2003 and 2004.
Maybe the IRS has been unaware of the "underground economy" that bypasses their watchful(?) eyes.
Here is the crux. We're making plenty of money. We're just reporting less of it to you schmucks at the IRS!
From one former Fox guru to another: Fox is dead. Move on to a new platform.
Your biz isn't going any more?
Unless there's more to the article, it's curious there's no mention of the enormous drop in interest rates on savings, which went from about 7 percent down to 1 percent. That alone should account for a huge drop in income for our elderly and others in our country who keep their money in the bank.
The article, while written in NYTimesese, basically says, the gap between Rich and Working Class shrunk, and the topper is this, inserted smack in the middle of the article.
To some extent, taxes fell more than incomes because of tax cuts championed by President Bush and approved by Congress in 2001. But in that year and in 2002 the cuts applied primarily to those making less than $100,000....
That directly undercuts the Dem strategy of "Tax cuts for the Rich"
Also today in the LATimes, is an article about the Dems cozy relationship with Hollywierd, and the way Middle America hates it.
Then In Esquire...a Lefty writes this... (A really good read)
Are you seeing a pattern here.
It is all about Hillary!ous in 08.
This would explain why the Laffer Curve isn't working. It's not the tax rates. It's the writeoffs.
Not to worry, everything is going according to plan. Like Bush's amigo V. Fox said, Americans wages will drop to meet Mexico's rising wages, somewhere in the middle, then we can be one entity...ooops, I mean, Free Trade Zone.
With a screename like FoxPro (and you may have already done this) I'll assume your an IT guy with a specialty in FoxPro...now Visual FoxPro. Broaden your skillset, The first development tool/DB app I learned was FoxPro, yet as time went by (and FoxPro lent itself to be inadequate for certain user needs) I pretty much self-taught myself VFP/VB/limited ASP/SQL and SQL serv management/SQL DTS/MS Office automation/OLAP databases etc., through books, the general "wanting" to make my job easier, good old fashoined trial and error, and on-the-job, real world pressure situations where, unless I wasn't going to "learn" it and apply a solution at a pretty quick rate...the boss was going to be plenty pissed.
I'm convinced that just about anyone can obtain skills in just about anything if they really want to, are not afraid of failing, are willing to keep at it....no matter how many mistakes you make (eventually you get it right...after all...most things are not rocket science). Don't give in...and don't give up. Eventually things have a way of working themselves out, we don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we all get there.

Take away the effects of stock sale gains, and the picture will change, I'll bet.
How unusual. My son just got a job (last year, actually) at a Fortune 500 company and is getting 60k, plus great benefits.
Ironically, he was offered two more jobs within three months of getting hired.
As for myself, I was hired during the Bush Administration.
We've also had a number of openings this year and last as people get hired away to bigger and better jobs at other companies.
To wrap it up, I'm not sure what it is you're doing wrong, but I'd consider creating another resume, or something along those lines.
