I received this from a friend and it's pretty much what I've been saying.

Part 1

In just one year. 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 re gular 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, it's 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.

http://www.taxfound ation.org/ publications/ show/151. html

Taxes under Clinton                            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 - t ax $12,500
Sing le making 75K - tax $23,250              Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,80 0            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 are 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.

 Are we THAT stupid?
If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message.  
 
If, on the other hand, 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.
