HISTORY SHOW LOWERING THE TAX RATE CREATES ECONOMIC DISASTER

A Republican President George W Bush and a Republican controlled Congress enacted the greatest tax rate cut in America’s history and America suffered the second greatest economic disaster in history—LOSING 2.6 million jobs the last year Bush was in the White House and INCREASING the national debt 100% the second highest percentage increase in history to Republican 300% Reagan.

 

A Democrat President, Bill Clinton and a Democrat controlled Congress INCREASED the tax rate  (without the vote of a single Republican who said  raising taxes  would cause the economy to collapse.)  During the time Clinton was in the White House 22 million new jobs were created, there was a budget surplus 4 years, there was a record 6 year drop of the number of people living in poverty, lowest unemployment rate in 30 years, lowest inflation since 1960

 

When Republican George W. Bush assumed office the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 10,587 and 7,949 when he left office.   The Dow has almost doubled under Democrat President  Obama and on October 18, 2013 was at 15,399

 

REPUBLICAN METHOD OF LOWERING BUFFETT AND ROMNEY’S TAXES

 

The Republican controlled House in September 2013 voted to CUT $40 BILLION from the Food Stamp Program and voted 42 times to deny 50 million Americans healthcare.

 

WHO WOULD GET A REPUBLICAN LOWER TAX RATE

 

America’s richest 1%, millionaires and billionaires received the most benefits from the Bush low tax rates.

 

You have a choice support or reject politicians who would deny the poor and disabled health benefits and food stamps so Buffett and Romney CAN PAY LESS TAXES.
