Pardon me if this is a dupe.......
I received this email at work today and thought I would share it:

"I'm trying to get all this  political stuff straightened out in my
head so I'll know how to vote come  November. Right now, we have one guy
saying one thing. Then the other guy says  something else. Who to believe.
Lemme see; have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good...
Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...

Clinton  spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good..
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq  - bad...

terrorists-good...

Milosevic not yet convicted - good...

Ahh, it's so confusing!

Every year an independent tax watchdog  group analyzes the average
tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax  Freedom Day".
This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not  the government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest  it has been
since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in  2000. Notice
anything special about those dates?

Recently, John Kerry  gave a speech in which he claimed Americans
are actually paying more taxes under  Bush, despite the tax cuts. He
gave no explanation and provided no data for this  claim.

Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are
wealthy men.

Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions,
all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an
old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).

Bush paid  $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does
that sound right? The man  who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured
out a way to avoid paying  his own.

Pass this on. Only 61 days until the  election.
