Thanks

This came from the good reverend, copied here without permission.

So you might have heard that the tax cut’s singed into law a few years ago were extended this week. Mr. Bush called this a “victory for the American tax payer”. Let’s take a look at that…

If you make $10,000 a year; you will receive a tax cut of 0.060% or a whopping $6.

If you make $50,000 a year; you will receive a tax cut of 0.092% or an amazing $46.

If you make $75,000 a year; you will receive a tax cut of 0.14% for an astounding $112.

However…

If you make $1,000,000 a year; you will receive a tax cut of 4.2% or a miniscule $42,000.

And if you are so unlucky as to pull in a $10,000,000 a year; you will receive a tax cut of 5% for a miserly $500,000.

Truly a victory for the American tax payer!!!
