Still more about taxes.

Quote from Madonna: I'M TOUGH, I'M AMBITIOUS, AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. IF THAT MAKES ME A BITCH, OKAY.

What I learned today:

Today I learned about U.S. tax hikes and tax cuts from 1992 to 2003.

The rates before 1992 were:
15%, 28% 31%.
Clinton rates were:
15%, 28%, 31%, 36%, 39.6%
The Bush rates were/are:
10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%

The 1993 to 2000 tax rates were the Clinton rates. The 2001 to 2010 tax rates were the George W. Bush rates. The big fight in Congress is whether the 33% should go back to the Clinton rate of 36% and whether the 35% rate should go back to the Clinton rate of 39.6%. All the other rates would stay the same. The only taxpapers having to pay the higher rate would be singles making above $200,000 and families making above $250,000.

Humor for today:

Q: Where can men over the age of 60 find younger, sexy women who are interested in them?
A: Try a bookstore, under fiction.

Q: What can a man do while his wife is going through menopause?
A: Keep busy. If you're handy with tools, you can finish the basement. When you're done you'll have a place to live.

Q: Someone told me that menopause is mentioned in the Bible. Is that true?
A: Yes. Matthew 14:92: "And Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Egypt.."
