| you guys definitely aren't alone.. studies have been showing that the middle class and poor are fairing worse now than before bush took office. the only people who have benefitted are those in the upper income brackets.. and even people who are considered upper-middle class haven't seen amazing increases either. the extra $5-$10 thousand has been eaten away by other increases in living costs that you both cited already.
meanwhile, the AMT still isn't being reformed at the same time as bush goes around begging for tax cuts for the rich. |
