Can Democrats explain this? How are Democrats for the working people and the poor?

Now, I am not talking about the war or any other distracters that Dems like to bring up in situations like this. Point blank, how are the Dems for the working class/lower income?
Based on using the actual tax tables (see link below), here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples. so let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html
Clinton Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Bush Single making 30K - tax$4,500
Clinton Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Bush Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Clinton Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Bush Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Clinton Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Bush Married making 60K - tax $9,000
Clinton Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Bush Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Clinton Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Bush Married making 125K - tax $31,250

If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If any democrat is elected, ALL of them say they 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. This is like the movie the Sting with Paul Newman, you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened. Now this is effective (maybe not honest) marketing or maybe a better word is brain washing.

Nice cut and paste....but don't pat your liberal back too hard...

You still didn't answer the question regarding the tax cuts.

As stated in the question (almost like I have ESP with you people) you COMPLETELY avoided the question.

Very informative, thank you. I'd also point out that some people fall into the higher income tax brackets because they are small business owners. While their income looks substantial, the amount itself isn't that much when you consider the cost of running a business and what the actual profit margin might be. To put the issue more succinctly, high taxes on the 'rich' often hurt entrepreneurs and small business owners whose incomes year to year don't accurately reflect wealth or success.
