Want more money? Vote Democrat!

There are many reasons people vote Republican. One of them is the fear the Democrats will take their money and the Republicans will cut taxes and put more money in your pocket.

But look at these numbers from the Wall Street Journal:

President	Jobs created	Jobs when leaving office	Jobs when enetering office	Payroll expansion
George W. Bush	3.0 million	135.5 million	132.5 million	2.3%
Bill Clinton	23.1 million	132.5 million	109.4 million	21.1%
George H.W. Bush	2.5 million	109.4 million	106.9 million	2.3%
Ronald Reagan	16.0 million	106.9 million	90.9 million	17.6%
Jimmy Carter	10.5 million	90.9 million	80.4 million	13.1%
Gerald Ford	1.8 million	80.4 million	78.6 million	2.3%
Richard Nixon	9.4 million	78.6 million	69.2 million	13.6%
Lyndon Johnson	11.9 million	69.2 million	57.3 million	20.8%
John F. Kennedy	3.6 million	57.3 million	53.7 million	6.7%
Dwight Eisenhower	3.5 million	53.7 million	50.2 million	7%
Harry Truman	8.4 million	50.2 million	41.8 million	20.1%

Here's whats interesting. In average, Democratic presidents create nearly two times more jobs and salaries increase almost three times faster than under their Republican counter parts.

On average, Democrat president created 11.5 million jobs per president while Republicans created only 6.03 million jobs per president. Additionally, averages payrolls expanded by 25.1% per president under Democrats while Republican presidents were only able to generate a comparably meager 7.5% per president.

So, if you're struggling and need a job or a raise...who are YOU going to vote for?
