In your link it states that Bush created 3 million jobs over his 8 years in office. That's not something hunky-dory but it also totally ignores the fact that Bush took office directly after the Dot-Com bust which consumed $6 trillion in wealth and then 8 short months later 9/11 happened of which, ignoring the loss of lives, absorbed another $2 trillion dollars. Enron and Katrina... I don't know what is expected by you of a president but to even be in the positive after all that is rather astonishing. Then of course you have Obama who has lost 4 million jobs since he took office.
See the folly in your data starting on January 20th and ending on January 19th. Probably not...
The bottom line is the Bush 43 Administration did a lousy job as a custodian of the American economy. Low employment growth, and low tax revenue growth DESPITE CUTTING TAXES.
Thanks for sharing the link I've already used it to get the tax rate information in my last post.
And you purposely left out details of what the top marginal rate actually was?

Wrong.. Bottom line is Bush 43 had 10,200,000 new jobs created from 2003-2007 and only AFTER Democrats took over did YOUR SIDE screw things up..
Revenues increased, jobs were increasing.. And the economy was doing so great when Democrats took over that they even managed to pass an increase in minimum wage claiming the economy was strong enough to substain the growth.. YOUR SIDE was wrong.. as you usually are with everything else..
Basically there is a growing gap in skill related to the modern needs and that means more are dependent on a much smaller number of people. At the same time thsoe same poeple refuce jobs that go to foreign labor such as from Mexico.Every administration has pointed out the lack of thios country producing the technical level in skills need for decades.

You mean low-paying jobs while good jobs were being lost?

Yes and loose credit enabled people to continue feeling "rich" while buying with debt..money they didn't have.
Fast forward to today and all that "credit" has dried up. These people are left with living within their paycheck means and they refuse to do it.
DEBT gave the illusion of wealth.
This applied not only to people but to our own government as well.
We are not rich..we are in debt past our eyeballs and no other country wants to lend to us anymore so much so that our Federal Reserve has to print money to buy our Treasury bonds.

that would be from the clinton policies and standards
the mantra "clinton created 22 million jobs"----the truth, clinton created 22 million low paying jobs while 18 million high paying jobs left, the grand total clinton only gained 4 million jobs
It really doesn't matter now WHICH PARTY started it. It was done by OUR government.
And each party took their turn opening that global door another inch.
