They also lowered federal income tax rates by 3% in all brackets except the lowest bracket. Obama will probably start with those who make over $250k a year (although I don't see how he would do this since that number is in the middle of a tax bracket. The bracket system would have to be reworked in order for that to be possible). Then, like all democrats he will suggest that taxes be raised on all the brackets but the lowest.
I'm not saying I like bush at all. I'm just saying that some good things have come from his time in office. I don't think we should have gotten involved with iraq, and that if we had not people would have a different attitude towards republicans.
