Why do so many Liberals think Obama middle class tax cuts will be lower than Bush's current tax cuts?

Well I think you're right, the Bush tax cuts have done nothing. Bush left office with a huge economic collapse. During his presidency there was 0 jobs created.

During the 90's, under Clinton when we had the unreasonably high tax rates, we had the longest and biggest economic expansion in US history. In fact Clinton raised taxes during a recession and the economic expansion happened despite that. He raised corporate, capital gains, and individual income tax.

GDP, net income, productivity all was at record levels under Clinton. Whereas under Bush, with the lower tax rates all these things were much lower. So I can't understand why you would think that raising just the top tax rate from 35% to 39.6% would kill the economy, given all that I just told you.

Also, during the great depression our top tax rate was 94% in 1945. After the great depression ended and throughout the 50's/60's (all with very high top tax rates) the economy experienced very, very high tax rates. So, again you can't make that connection.

I mean clearly 94% is too high, but 39.6% is not, it's totally reasonable.

The Bush tax cuts were given to working people all thru his administration. During that time, unemployment was at 5 to 6%. The Dow hit over 14000 and we had stable growth in the economy.

The economy didn't start to tank until the democrats took over congress in 2007. What cracks me up is libs want taxes on the companies and big oil, yet don't realize that any tax will be passed on to the consumer. So we get price increases.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
