$52,300 for a family of 4 is what the government needs to collect.

It may be Obama is spending too much, the problem is you guys don't have an answer either. I'll take my chances with some one who actually looks for average people instead of the previous president who took care of his rich friends.

The Gini coeeficent which is the current accepted statistical indicator of the divison of wealth showed that Bush was the best president for this since like WW2.

Under Bush the Rich did not get richer.  The gap between the rich and poor grew much slower then among any other president.

The biggest culprits of this?

Reagan and Clinton.

Moral of the story.  Republicans and Democrats both just look out for their rich friends.

Bush was different because he didn't look out for anybody.

come on man, do you really believe what you just wrote? me and you live in the real world,  The first thing Bush did was reward the rich as soon as he got into office with his tax cuts.

More some 60 percent of the 2001 tax cuts went to the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers.

 

You can check the statistics yourself.

Besides... what you stated isn't actually true.

Under the Bush tax cuts the tax code got MORE progressive not less.

Just about any study using actual numbers proves this.

The Gini Coefficent proves the gap has grown slowest under Bush then any president since like WW2.

You can hide behind all the political hype you want... but the truth is.

While bush was a shitty president.  The gap between the rich and poor was one of the things he got right.

That and funding to Africa.  He was like the most generous president in terms of cash to Africa.
