Ahh, it's so confusing!
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?
Recently, 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 42 days until the election
There's 2 main reasons why the french didn't and couldn't get those contracts.
1)Yea, its the french, they wouldn't take part in the war, they can't now ask for and get contracts.
2)They have serious ties to Victor Bout, which escalates to many risks for all the players involved. A firm with terrorists ties, would never get clearance for a construction job like this.
Force of habit, even during the cold war, we took care of them.
Its like having ungreatfull relatives, where you do the dirty work, they whine and moan together with your enemies.
never seen it before
Noob.
Heh, I have those kinds of relatives. My mother came from a home of 5 girls who were emotionally and physically abused. My mom has gotten over it and chooses to live her life for the future. 3 of her sisters became junkies and continue (40 years later) to blame their lack of motivation on their dad.
My point is many people live through sh!t, but don't feel the world or anyone else owes them something.
