American Legion Post 139

Subject:  It only took 2 years!







         
------------------------------------------------------------------------


        This email comes in three parts:
        Part 1 
         It was only 2 years ago.  Remember the election in 2006?
         Thought you might like to read the following:
         A little over one year ago:

        
        1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
        2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
        3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

        
        Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

        
        1) Consumer confidence plummet;
        2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
        3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
        4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value
evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
        5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion
dollars;
        6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

        
        America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

        
        Remember its Congress that makes law not the President.  He has
to work with what's handed to him.

        
        Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest
nation in the history of the world.  I hope you'll join with me as we
try to change it.' -- Barack Obama

        

        
        Part 2:
        Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these
statistics enlightening and amazing.
          www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html
        Taxes under Clinton 1999                   Taxes under Bush
2008
        Single making 30K - tax $8,400             Single making 30K -
tax $4,500
        Single making 50K - tax $14,000          Single making 50K -
tax $12,500
        Single making 75K - tax $23,250          Single making 75K -
tax $18,750
        Married making 60K - tax $16,800       Married making 60K- tax
$9,000
        Married making 75K - tax $21,000       Married making 75K - tax
$18,750
        Married making 125K - tax $38,750     Married making 125K - tax
$31,250

        
        Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates

        
        It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories
above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest
President ever. If Obama or Hillary is elected, they both say they will
repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into
the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie
The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they
don't even know what happened.

        

        
        PART 3:
        You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
              Read this:
        Boy am I confused.  I have been hammered with the propaganda
that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.  I
now find that to be RIDICULOUS.  I hope the following 14 reasons are
forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the
reader gets sick of reading them.  I have included the URL's for

        Why are we THAT stupid?

        
        If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message.  If,
on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I
hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including
every representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long
as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies
and enforcement thereof.
