The income tax issue has been going on my entire life and beyond. It has nothing to do with Bush being a good president or a bad one any more than it did Clinton. It is a seperate issue which will probably never be settled. The issue of a minmum wage increase which beast said we haven't had is what I was dealing with. We have indeed had an increase in the minimum wage 2 weeks ago which shoots down beast's statement. Even though my income is such that I don't pay income tax, I would be a happy puppy if income tax were done away with, although it would most likely destroy our economy doing so.
