And You Still Think You Well Recieve A Tax Cut Under Obama

Why do people insist on being close-minded and prejudice. You're categorizing all democrats and middle class society who are voting for Obama as being trite and vengeful. That's not why all of us are voting for Obama. I'm sure there are a few, VERY FEW, who would be trivial enough to choose the leader of their country based on their own retaliation. It's unfair and ignorant to say what you just said and I'm sure you know that. One of the reasons I'm voting not voting for McCain is, yes, because his views and projects are really similar to Bush's and they've been attempted already and didn't show positive. NOT because I hate Bush and am bitter against him. How old are we? Come on now.

I'm seriously astounded. Look, we're all different. We all have different views and that what, in my opinion, makes this world so incredible. You don't have to personally attack someone and their character just because their views are different than yours. That's what I was trying to get across in my last response. It'd be nice if someone, who is probably twice my age, could grasp that without being vicious and unnecessary. Humans just have a lot of growing up to do.

You are so right. What was I thinking? Some of them are voting for Obama because he likes the idea of allowing people to kill babies before they are born, killing babies born during abortion. The morning after pill will make great birthday gift from the boyfriend. Sorry I do not have the time to list the others. But you get the idea. After all, you support him.

You are so right! Wouldn't it be nice though, if just once we actually had a campaign season where the candidates made promises that actually COULD be kept, and once elected they actually DID keep them? Sorry, I was dreaming for a minute there! LOL

I'm not going to hold my breath on any candidate to uphold his campaign promises...but to hear some ppl, you'd think it was law when all it is, is good speech writing. [b]~~MY OWN PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF**[/b]

Okay, you seem to get the notion that Obama just wants to take and take and take all the money from the wealthy until they're left with nothing. That's not what he's going to do. $250,000 is A LOT of money to make in a year. That's more than $10,000 a month. People who make that kind of money are most likely living a life of pure luxury(unless they don't know how to manage money) and getting by just fine. You also, for some reason, think that just because someone has a lot of money, they're really hard working. In a lot of cases, that's not how it is at all. But, that's not the point, the point is this: Obama wants to take a tiny percentage of more money from the paychecks of people who won't even see the difference. It won't affect their livelyhood in the least. He's doing this to further help our economy and the common good, I highly doubt it's going to have crucial affects on our markets or corporations. And if it does, we can always try out McCain's new solution to better the economy. OH WAIT! We already have and look where it's left us. Our economy is in the worst shape since the depression. All I know is that we need to start trying something different or else we're never going to get out of this hole. For some reason, people like to try the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

I don't get where you think I deserve to take anything from anyone because they don't deserve it. I didn't say that or imply it in anyway. If we had a normal, stable economy, raising taxes would be unnecessary and useless, but our economy is in horrible shape. I believe raising taxes with be beneficial in the end until we can get leveled out with our debt. If you don't believe raising taxes will work, may I ask what you believe would?

"Even if what you're saying is true and he's going to raise taxes on anyone making less than 120K a year, I still stick with his policy more than I stick with McCain's." These are your words. What do you know that the rest of us don't know? "To continue giving more money to the wealthy minority who don't need it for their survival and hoping it's going to somehow trickle it down to those of us who actually do need it, is unrealistic." These are your words. The government doesn't give the wealthy minority their money. The wealthy minority work for their money. They invest in our nation and they build businesses that give people like you and me jobs. Besides investing their money in business, they give much of their money back to the government in the form of taxes. And their tax burden keeps going up to satisfy the greedy poor. "Raising taxes by the small amount they're going to be raised will ultimately serve our economy in a positive way. It's working toward the common good of everyone. I wish people would stop just looking out for themselves all the time." These are your words. Raising taxes on businesses could very possibly cause those businesses to downsize, or outsource causing many people to lose their jobs. How is that helpful? The wealthy are not just looking out for themselves. Yes they get the lions share but why not? They are the ones who have taken the risk. "Our species needs to evolve and learn from history." I don't remember where in history taking money from hard workers and those who have invested in the economy and just giving it to those who don't work hard has ever helped any nation.

Taxes on welfare recipient's benefits what an idea.

You could do it like payroll withholding - they just wouldn't get as much because part of it would go back as taxes.
