Something I always liked to do was discuss or even argue with liberals on the internet. One of my favorite places is Yahoo news where you can actually see how the liberal mentality is. No matter what the liberals always love to claim its all Bush's fault. As one on the right it seems your the one who always has to back up your claims and you end up doing a lot of google searches. Recently I ran across some very interesting data. When bush took office the labor force was 143.8 million jobs. When Bush left office the labor force had grown to 154.655 million jobs. Thats over 10 million jobs created during Bush's terms in office.
The Bush tax cuts the liberals love to claim was for the rich but if we look at what the tax cuts accomplished we can see they was for the benefit of everyone. The tax cuts stimmulated the economy and created jobs which meant more people was working and not collecting unemployment, welfare, food stamps as well as created more income for the government. Lets look at taxes collected from 2003 when the tax cuts took effect to 2008 before Obama took office.
2003: 1.9 Trillion 2004: 2.0 Trillion 2005: 2.26 Trillion 2006: 2.5 Trillion 2007: 2.69 Trillion 2008: 2.74 Trillion
Now lets look at today. Since Obama been in office the job force has grown to 155.658 million jobs. In over four years obama has created only 1.003 million jobs. When Bush took office the median house hold income was 42,800. When he left office the median house hold income was $54,983 according to the US Census Bureau. Familys were bringing in 12K more a year after eight years with Bush in office. As of may this year the median house hold income is down to $50,502. Thats $4K a year or $333 a month income cut for the average family. For the 2012 tax year the taxes collected was 2.3 trillion.
So was it really Bush's fault? I would have to say yes it was. Because of Bush people prospered and the government collected more revenue with less cost to taxpayers for less was spent on unemployment, welfare, food stamps. So in the end Bush is guilty of creating an enviroment where people could prosper.
Only problem is that MSNBC would never report on this so a typical internet liberal wont ever believe it.
