| Tax Relief Is Strengthening Our Economy |
| 2004-02-12 |
| White House Fact Sheet on the economy. Worth reading the whole thing. For example, if none of the President’s tax relief had been enacted, in 2004: * 111 million Americans would pay, on average, $1,586 more in taxes; * 81 million women would pay, on average, $1,878 more in taxes; * 49 million married couples would pay, on average, $2,602 more in taxes; * 43 million families with children would pay, on average, $2,090 more in taxes; * 11 million single women with children would pay, on average, $921 more in taxes; * 14 million elderly individuals would pay, on average, $1,883 more in taxes; * 25 million small businesses would pay, on average, $3,001, more in taxes; and * Nearly 5 million individuals and families who currently have no income tax liability would become subject to the income tax. |

| #5 Morris/Faisal/Sybil: America would have saved a few billion by not being sucker-punched on 9/11. That money lost by the airlines, the settlements paid out by the insurance companies and the government, the rebuilding costs, the loss of productivity from the victims, the relocation costs of the surviving company workers, the increased security costs, and countless other expenses are going to be paid by you and all of us--through taxes and increased costs for the foreseeable future. Try to remember who started the *real* war. Iraq is just one campaign in a much larger war. |

| #2 and 25 million people in Iraq would still be slaves... and we'd have left a growing and festering problem for our children to confront... and we'd be paying about 15 billion a year to patrol the no fly zones for another few decades... and we'd not have a new wealthy (soon to be) trading partner in the world... and on and on and on |

| #1 If Mr. Bush and his band of thugs hadn't come into office, America would have save billions of dollars by not going to war with Iraq. I think the White House forgot to mention this in the fact sheet. |
