Name a President in your lifetime other than Dubya who hasn't raised taxes

[elperromagico]

Quick! Let's have some fun here. :)

1. I don't know, but I would say there isn't one.

Rising prices of everything wouldn't allow a prez not to raise taxes on some things.

[bahrbearian]

2. Eisenhower

[bluestateguy]

3. Carter?

I don't know. Did he ever raise taxes?

[NMDemDist2]

4. my total taxes have gone up not down

the small Federal cut was more than eaten up by my local and property tax increase

[elperromagico]

5. Mmm-hmm. And given a second term, Bush will raise your federal taxes.

He's just not making the mistake his father did... of raising taxes before an election.

6. The shrub raised your taxes not lowered them. He shifted the

responsibility to state and local gov. while keeping the taxes meant to pay for it. It's nothing but a shell game the thugs have been playing since RayGuns and Dem's are to dumb to point it out.

[elperromagico]

7. I'm aware of this.

:D

[bahrbearian]

11. Answer Please.

[elperromagico]

12. In my lifetime, no President hasn't raised taxes.

But I'm only 22.

[bahrbearian]

17. Your probably right , I think they all have...

I was just taking a shot with IKE

[elperromagico]

18. And that's my point. For a President to not raise taxes is just abnormal.

eom

[Sparkly]

10. He raised our KIDS' taxes!!

And probably our grandkids', as well.

[Green Lantern]

15. I think

it was a double shift-once from the corps to the general federal taxpayer and next from federal to state and local to destroy government.

8. The 17% raise in medicare premiums is a tax on the elderly

to fund the Bush tax breaks for the rich.

[bushwakker]

9. Bush has raised local taxes - he is fraud

[Zen Democrat]

13. I'm pretty sure it was JFK.

[DaveSZ]

14. JFK cut taxes

The top marginal rate was 90% (set by FDR), and he cut it to 70%.

[Renew Deal]

16. Ford?

I was only around for 6 months of his presidency. It's a wild guess.

[jmowreader]

19. My FEDERAL taxes went up!

Not some weird federal excise tax or blowjob tax or whatever. My income tax. The tax Bush is so proud of cutting.

If you have no kids and home-based business expenses, you got whacked--the method of calculating business use of the home seemed to have changed dramatically. What I know is that I got back $300 on my 2002 return and had to send in over $600 this year.

People who have children got a nice tax break. Those of us who don't got to pay for it.

20. The president of our Parent's Club at my daughter's old school NEVER

raised taxes...that doesn't really count, does it? :hi:
