Care to illustrate your oxymoron?

I was actually being casual with my numbers, I apologize.

According to President George W. Bush, during his State of the union address, a family of four making $40,000, who now pay $1100ish dollars, would under his package, pay over $1000 less...something like $45. So that's not quite zero.

I guess I should have said "adjusted gross income."

I also may have been incorrect in assuming that President Bush was NOT being disingenous about his numbers...you know "fuzzy math," either intentionally or innocently misinformed.
