Reasons for taxes

My sermon today at TLBC was on "Christ and the 1st Commandment" and you may see the outline on the front page of our church website.

Taxes... Whether Independent, Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening. www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008 Single making 30K - tax $8,400 - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 - tax $18,750 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 - tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 - tax $31,250 Obama 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 at the end of this year. It is probably that 47% of the public that do not work a legal job or pay any income taxes at all but live comfortably on government entitlement programs.

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." -- candidate: Barack Obama

We always hear it said that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. Although the war is very expensive, it isn't the only thing that is bankrupting us. The bigger problem is illegal aliens!!!!!
