McCain Now Wants Permanent Cap Gains Cut

Wow, McCain is so desperate he would pimp Cindy on the street if he thought it would help him get elected haha.

WHERE ARE PALINS MEDICAL RECORDS

You take a simple random sample of 1000 balls from an urn containing 120,000,000 red and blue balls, and your sample shows 450 red balls and 550 blue balls. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of blue balls in the urn.
But what if . . .
• What if 40% of the balls have personally chosen to live in an urn that you legally can’t stick your hand into?
• What if 50% of the balls who live in the legal urn explicitly refuse to let you select them?
• What if the balls inside the urn are constantly interacting and talking and arguing with each other, and can decide to change their color on a whim?
• What if you have to rely on the balls to report their own color, and some unknown number are probably lying to you?
• What if you’ve been hired to count balls by a company who has endorsed blue as their favorite color?
• What if you have outsourced the urn-ball counting to part-time temp balls, most of whom happen to be blue?
• What if the balls inside the urn are listening to you counting out there, and it affects whether they want to be counted, and/or which color they want to be?
(And what, I wonder, if all around you, every day, you are told by all of the coolest, hippest, prettiest balls that your color is mean, irrelevant, unpopular, un-cool, evil, old, incompetent and probably racist?
Would you stick to your guns in the face of that, or keep your mouth shut and show ‘em when the curtain closes?)

Angie ,
I know you will not understand cutting capital gains taxes pushes people to invest in the market.

SO IT DOESN’T BOTHER McCain that the wealthiest American like hedge fund managers, people who make HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, should pay 7%.
Meanwhile, middle class Americans, who support their families with their paycheck WOULD BE PAYING all the government’s bills , and be in a 25% tax bracket!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
If the wealthiest Americans pay virtually no taxes then the MIDDLE CLASS has to pay the bill for our soldiers, cancer researchers, Social Security, bridge infrastructure, everything.
McCain and his wife are worth about $500 MILLION DOLLARS. All of his policies are designed to reduce the taxes of the rich.
Coincidence????

Is McShame not listening to himself? Alot of the people attending his rallies are trying to stay in their homes. They are NOT the Investor group! They are POOR Americans who have listened to a desperate OLD Man & his pathetic sidekick he likes to call a Maverick. It is SO obvious he is trying to protect his CASH COW he calls a WIFE. Wake up America!! VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!!

And just how many “Joe the plumbers” or any middle class have capital gains, any? Doesn’t this just help his rich friends? Isn’t this the kind of thing Bush would want? Isn’t this more proof that McCain is Bush III?

John McCain’s tax program:
Millionaires: Pay 7% caps gains
You : Pay 15% tax on your paycheck
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up America!

So it’s all in eh John?
Promise anyone anything to get their vote is your last tactic I see.
What next?
“I’ll get rid of ALL TAXES!”
“I’ll buy every child a puppy (even if they are allergic)”
“I’ll walk on water across the Atlantic and hike into Pakistan and catch Bin Laden with my bare hands!”
I’d say I feel sorry for him…but I’d be lying. His greed is finally catching up to him.

Why does Mccain never use the Word Middleclass is he above that word?

“Two-thirds of the tax savings from cutting the capital gains rate in half would go to taxpayers with incomes above $1 million,” said Roberton Williams of the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. “Ninety percent of the benefits would flow to Americans who make more than $200,000 per year.”
Gee, John McCain, but the Joe the Plumbers of the country don’t fall into those categories. So how would your plan help them??? Oh, that’s right, Barack Obama’s plan helps them. Hopefully all the plumbers learn to flush your bull…

I am sorry you people are so poor or wait maybe all of you do not save your money and invest.Do most of you realize that the average tax cut Obama is providing prior to him shifting his numbers is 800 or so dollars I see most of you will sell your soul for 800 bucks

When McCain unveiled his temporary capital gains tax cut earlier this month, his campaign estimated that it would cost $10 billion.
The man is a complete idiot! He would like to drive us into the ground. His proposed spending plans are twice that of Obama and he has absolutely no way to generate revenue to pay for it. If this is putting Country first, then he is most likely talking about China.

Reedog
We are not Poor, But we are not Rich, we are in the MIDDLE do you Understand Middle, Mccain dont Mccain only understands poor or rich sees you do too, and if your Wealthy great proud of you. but not Everyone is. the MIDDLE CLASS Are struggling everyday to not be Poor

HOW THE HECK ARE YOU GONNA BRING US OUTTA THIS DEFICIT IF YOU CUT ALL TAXES INCLUDING WEALTHY, CORPORATIONS AND OIL COMPANIES.
WE ARE JUST GOING TO GET MORE IN DEBT!
I MAKE OVER 250K A YEAR, PLEASE RAISE MY TAXES, I’D BE HAPPY TO HELP MY COUNTRY GET OUT OF DEBT!

reddog – the lone voice out there who is willing to pay more in taxes so McCain can give to the rich.. what a guy.. we should all be like him and help out those pitiful millionaires who are so desperately in need of financial assistance.

EDUCATE YOURSELF!
The middle class derive 95% or more of their income from “earned wages”. For example, you might make $15/hour or $50,000 a year.
The WEALTHY derive 95% of their income from capital gains.
Already, hundred million dollar/year hedge fund managers structure their contract so that they receive their compensation for running the fund in capital gains, to take advantage of the lower tax rate for cap gains.
BUT what McCain is proposing is that the cap gains rate go almost to ZERO.
The wealthy will pay NO TAXES.
The middle class will pay ALL the taxes that run the government.
John McCain’s tax program:
Millionaires: Pay 7% caps gains
You : Pay 15% tax on your paycheck
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up America!

I am far from rich I am a struggling buissness owner trying to make a living But again I do not want someone else to pay my share of taxes and I sure do not want to give the goverment more money to pi$$ away how they see fit
Posted by: reddog0216 | Oct 31, 2008 5:17:04 PM
which is what you would be doing under McCain.. apparently you are too stupid to realize that.

My mistake, U.S. tax payers with income between 32,550 and 164,550 pay between 25% and 28% of their income as federal income tax.
John McCain is proposing that hundred million dollar earners, who as a group receive 95% of their income as cap gains
SHOULD ONLY PAY 7%.
Middle class: 25-28%
Ultra rich: 7%
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up America!

No I dont feel I need tax relif at someonelses expense I do not feel ENTITLED to somebodys money.I would get tax relif under Obamas plan I would not give up my liberties to support that.I know you make think I am wrong Tell me angie what are You going to do with your extra 800 per year???

Yeah and Obama said that he would tax those over 250,000. but wednesday night he said 200,000 and Biden said 150,000 two days ago. So?
Posted by: Kim | Oct 31, 2008 5:02:09 PM
SO, Kim. You have to get your facts straight. What Obama said on Wednesday is that if you make UNDER $200,000, you get a tax cut. NOT a raise for those over 200,000, as you have said.
If you make OVER $250,000, then yes, you will see a tax increase.
If you make BETWEEN $200,000 and $250,000, your taxes will stay where they are.
THAT HAS NOT CHANGED.
SO… Got it????
As for Biden:
“An Obama aide points out to First Read that the $150,000 figure Biden was citing was simply an example of what someone making that amount would get under Obama’s tax plan. Indeed, Biden’s $150,000 remark came after he referred to someone making $1.4 million.”
i.e. He did not say that $150,000 was the line at which you would either see and increase or tax cut.
See Kim, you have to actually read what was said, and not simply listen to what McCain says was “said” and take it as the truth…

Certainly better than 0bama’s Class Struggle.
The ideal of sharing wealth, equalizing class divide has been so powerful, sweeping half a Europe and Asia and South America in the first half of the 20th Century.
The ideals of Marxism are not necessarily wrong; in fact, they are extremely appealing, and the history of the 20th century is a proof.
Yet, none of the practitioners have achieved their noble causes, each has left millions dead, in smaller places like Vietnam and Cambodia, and 10s of millions in larger states. The only major survivor of this practice is China, who has adopted Capitalism by all means except some certain rights that we enjoy here as granted – which is a different topic.
Socialism, a precursor of Communism, has never had a chance being practiced in the US. Few really know what socialism is, but what 0bama wants to do IS socialism.
0bama is masterfully adopting the classic class divide of Karl Marx, playing one class – the 95% of the poor – against another class – the rich, the 5% to achieve his ambition.
It is not progressive taxation that makes 0bama a socialist.
It is the Class Struggle that makes 0bama a Socialist.

The only taxes John McCain will be worry about is his own taxes on Wednesday after the Elections are over.
McCain best days are behind him and the “Rocker is Waiting” on McCain.

PaulN ,
How about gov richardson I promise all of you come January it will be lowered and I can care less I will be on here telling all of you I told you so

JOHN MCCAIN MAKES HIS MOVE:
Wealth redistribution.
From you.
To the rich.
The rich don’t pay income taxes. They pay the lower capital gain taxes.
MCCAIN’S PLAN
millionaires: 7% cap gains tax
middle class: 25-28% income tax
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up America!

Fact check: Would McCain ‘only reward wealth’?
The Verdict:
False. McCain offers policies to help workers at all income levels. While he offers higher tax cuts to higher income brackets, he does not “only reward wealth.”
This is coming from one of those biased news media in the tank for Obama.

How valiant of McCain to propose seductive tax cuts that have no hope of being approved by Congress. He may as well say he’s abolishing the income tax entirely. Pure fool’s gold, folks — think about it.

Yes Mark.. trickle down has always worked just great every time it’s been tried. Just look at how great we are doing right now.. we have been in recession since around 2002 due to our continued large scale deficit spending and our national debt has skyrocketed. We are indeed creating wealth, for the small few at the top tier (the top 1% controls roughly 40% of the wealth in our country) and China.
Thanks for your concern.
Obama/Biden ’08 – for a better America!

Just how is McCain going to make up for all the cuts he is giving to the multi-billionaires? Here’s how: RAIDING SOCIAL SECURITY. After all, Bush and him wanted to “privatize” Social Security, didn’t they? That, and borrow more money from china.
Oh, and for all those desperate crackheads who are screaming “socialist”, you know full well that we were not a socialist nation during the Clinton years.

If you were a millionaire when Clinton in 1992, you were still a millionaire when he left in 2000. We can’t say the same thing for George Bush from ’00 to ’08 now can we. I’ll bet if you’re a millionaire right now you’ll still be one in at the end of Obama’s first term in ’12. I’m sick of all these people acting like Obama is going to just take all the rich folks’ money. He’s going to make the wealthy share the burden with the middle class, as it should be.

Mr. 0bama, or supporters,
Could you please explain your taxes?
INCOME TAX (OBAMA CLAIMS NO INCREASE IN TAXES….. AFTER BUSH CUTS ARE
ELIMINATED!)
MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $31,250
OBAMA
(Reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K – tax $8,400
Single making 50K – tax $14,000
Single making 75K – tax $23,250
Married making 60K – tax $16,800
Married making 75K – tax $21,000
Married making 125K – tax $38,750

Dear arrogant Republican (I mean reddog0216),
If the 45% “discount” the market’s experienced over the last month plus the initial 7.5% capital gains cut by the fed hasn’t done much to persuade investors, this will do nothing. But thanks for acting like Palin by saying something obnoxiously ignorant with reckless arrogance. BTW, I don’t think too many of us are interested in your neo-con economic philosophies after the last 8 years.

lol great plan reddogg
lol socialism!!!! he wants to spread the wealth around to the wealthy!!!!
lol

0-0=0 — citing numbers you pull off a SPAM e-mail does nothing to your credibility. By the way, that SPAM was circulating during the primaries, and the only thing changed since then is the names “Clinton” is now substituted by “McCain”
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp
Amazing how stupid some people can be.

Don’t the “Joe the Plumber”s out there realize that MC does not really benefit them that much??? How can they not understand that under Obama’s plan they would reap a heck of bigger tax break than with MC? -sigh- I don’t think it matters to “Joe the Un-licsensed Plumber”…I think all that matters to that guy is exactly what I saw on a MC/Palin t-shirt: God. Guns. Glory. Niiiiiice. Cause that’s done us so well for 8 years.

John McCain…Candidate for the Rich

Isn’t it amusing how the republicans who always chant the ‘less taxes’ mantra now complain about Obamas tax plan, when in fact they would in most cases pay less taxes under his plan! And to make their case, they claim they feel sorry for the wealthy and how terrible it is to raise their taxes. Cry me some more crock tears and pass that cheese to go with your whine, will you?
What a bunch of hypocrites.. just like the people they claim to be voting for.
Obama/Biden ’08 – for a better America

“And yes, keep bugging the “media” to push for Palin’s medical records.”
Some suspect Palin’s med records arent being released because of her baby, Trig. Most of you know the rumors about the poor kiddo, so it wouldnt surprise me if the scarcity of Palin’s records are tied to the baby somehow. Just sayin.

The tax policy center estimates of proposed spending plans between both candidates show that McCains plans would cost $10.9 trillion over 10 years (not including his ‘high risk’ insurance pool, which tacks on another $1 trillion), while Obamas would cost $5.4 trillion over 10 years. And now McCain wants to add a little more to that spending spree, and still fails to do anything to raise revenue to cover those costs.
The man is an economic Maverick.. he has discovered how to spend like there is no tomorrow and not only not use any money to do it, but found a way to give more money to the wealthy!
We don’t need a dumber Bush in office, and this country would not survive it.
Obama/Biden!!

McCain=Wealthfare.

As usual the Republicans want to take care of the wealthiest among us and of course that includes John & Cindy McCain. I would guess the McCain’s probably stand to make a small fortune when Anhueser-Busch is sold to InBev of Holland. You can’t tell me that they don’t have substantial stocks in Anheuser-Busch seeing that Cindy McCain heads up the largest distributorship of the Anheuser-Busch products in Arizona. So I’m sure he wants them permanent. Afterall, they shouldn’t have to pay taxes since his wife had the good fortune to be born into a waelthy family and he had the good fortune to marry into that family. And maybe just maybe the wealthiest will let just a little wealth dribble down to the rest of us. Ronald Reagan was all for the trickle down effect, but I don’t see where it’s worked as the unemployment rate keeps rising.
As for the nasty McCain/Palin attacks on Obama just rembember: Great minds talk of ideas, average minds talk of events and SMALL MINDS TALK ABOUT PEOPLE. I read that somewhere and it sure describes the Republicans.
And if we are going to investigate anyone let’s investigate Palin and her association with the Anti-American Alaska Independence Party. I think the voters need to hear this.

This man will try anything ,getting late here people.

GOOD OLD MCCAIN TRUE TO THE END ALL FOR BIG BUSINESS EXXON JOHN WILL NEVER CHANGE—-HIS SIDING UP WITH THE TOP 5% WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON——-WE ARE THE MAJORITY AND WILL TEACH HIM WE ARE WHAT MATTERS (THE MIDDLE CLASS)

To “0-0=0″
The answer to your question is that your numbers are PULLED FROM YOUR A**
Married, filed jointly, $75000 income
Rate is 10% on income 0 to $16050 => $1605
Rate is 15% on income $16050 to $65100 => 7357.50
Rate is 25% on income from $65100 to $75,000 => $2475
THIS IS HOW TAXES ARE CALCULATED TODAY. You pay different tax rates on the income between:
$0 to $16050 => 10%
$16050 to 65100 => 15%
$65100 to $131,450 = 25%
The tax is calculated incrimentally. You may have heard of marginal tax rates. This is what they mean.
So, add up the tax a married, filing jointly, $75,000 family together and their tax bill is $11437.50.
This is before any deductions. So your tax bill is actually lower.
RIGHT OFF THE BAT, OBAMA’s TAX POLICY STARTS WITH A $1000 tax deduction for a working couple.
Then there are refundable tax credits for college expenses, mortgage interest tax credit, a special break for seniors, retirement savings, and health care.
But the base tax burden on a married couple making $75,000 is reduced $1000.
YOUR NUMBERS ARE MADE UP.

Posted by: factcheck, Get over it! McCain and Palin admitted they know Obama is not a Socialist.

CANNOT WAIT FOR MCCAIN THE LIER AND PALIN THE SCREECHING TWIT TO GO HOME.WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF MCBUSH.

IVE HAD IT
TALK ABOUT INTEGRITY
MCCAIN IS KNOWN AS THE HANOI SONGBIRD—–THE GUY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED FOR TREASON—AND THAT IS A FACT

didn’t mccain attack Obama for, according to mccain, changing his tax plans… and now he does the same AT the last minute (obvious motive)

MCCAIN DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS—–WANTS TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH–WITH THE ASUMPTION THAT THEY WILL THROW US A FEW CRUMBS—–WHAT A FREAKING JACKZXZ—-WE WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON.

To have a capital gain you have to have something to get the capital gain. Doesn’t he know that the citizens are hanging by a thread and it is ready to break. Who has money to invest today . Not I said the senior citizen just barely keeping it together.

hippimccain will take away your welfare check—–he will cut entitlements.

mccain is afraid that obama will make him pay more taxes—we will take a little more of that 5 million he and cindy got last year—

warren buffet one of the richest is embarassed that he pays less taxes than his secretary–and mccain wants him to have more –mccain is a very sick person..or just plain dumb

Interview with Warren Buffett by Tom Brokaw:
Tom: You’ve talked about in your own office, for example, you pay a much lower tax rate with all of your wealth than, say, a receptionist does.
Warren: That’s exactly right, Tom, and I think the only way to do it is with specifics. In our office 15 people cooperated in a survey, out of 18, I didn’t make anybody do it. And my total taxes paid, payroll taxes plus income tax, mine came to 17.7 percent. The average for the office was 32.9 percent. There wasn’t anybody in the office, from the receptionist on, who paid a lower tax rate. And I have no tax planning, I don’t have an accountant, I don’t have tax shelters. I just follow what the U.S. Congress tells me to do.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/21543506
And of course, McCain would like to lower that a little bit more.. what a guy!

And to further prove his point, Buffett has challenged .. he’s offered a million dollars to charity to any of the Forbes 400 richest people who can show on average that they pay a higher tax rate than their secretaries pay, but so far, Brian, he’s had no takers.

DO YOU KNOW what Sarah Palin had to say about Barack Obama before she became McCain’s pick?
Don’t believe me! Just google ‘palin praised obama’ and read the msnbc/first read report yourself.
“From NBC’s Domenico Montanaro
Earlier this month, Gov. Palin praised parts of Obama’s energy plan. The link to the press release was not working as of 12:30 p.m. ET. But Google saves everything.
Palin Pleased with Obama’s Energy Plan
Includes Alaska’s Natural Gas Reserves Print Now Printer Friendly
No. 08-135
August 4, 2008, Fairbanks, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today responded to the energy plan put forward by the presumptive Democratic nominee for President, Illinois Senator Barack Obama.
‘I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,’ Governor Palin said. ‘The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs.’
In a speech given in Lansing, Michigan, Senator Obama called for the completion of the Alaska natural gas pipeline, stating, ‘Over the next five years, we should also lease more of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska for oil and gas production. And we should also tap more of our substantial natural gas reserves and work with the Canadian government to finally build the Alaska natural gas pipeline, delivering clean natural gas and creating good jobs in the process.’
Governor Palin also acknowledged the Senator’s proposal to offer $1,000 rebates to those struggling with the high cost of energy.
‘We in Alaska feel that crunch and are taking steps to address it right here at home,’ Governor Palin said. ‘This is a tool that must be on the table to buy us time until our long-term energy plans can be put into place. We have already enjoyed the support of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, and it is gratifying to see Senator Obama get on board.’

IS JOHN MCCAIN A LIAR?
I don’t ask this question lightly.
Wednesday night, McCain admitted on the Larry King show (CNN) that Obama is not a Socialist.
Of course McCain called Obama a socialist in his speeches about 300 times.
SO.. WHAT.. IS.. MCCAIN’s.. EXCUSE ???
Why did John McCain lie in all those speeches? Why didn’t he tell his running mate to stop spreading lies about Obama?
Does John McCain have no honor?

cindy has the money–wonder what she sees in this old geser—must still be on meds.

Facts: Senator Obama has said he will cut taxes on people making less than 1,000,000 than he said 500,000, than it was couples making 250,000 now he said couples making 200,000 in the big 30 minute presentation. Joe Bidden said 150,000, a Demo Senator running for reelection said Obama really means he will cut taxes at 125,000. An Obama advisor said it is well known middle class is $45,000 so who cares if it really is $125,000 or $250,000. My wife and I together don’t make any where near $200,000 but I don’t believe Obama any more. McCain has been rock solid on taxes and his plan to cut taxes on business which will create jobs. John F. Kennedy did the same thing and it worked. Ronald Reagon did the same thing and it worked. We are in a severe depression; cutting taxes on business is the only way to get out of this. Just look at history. We know the Obama plan to increase taxes on business and add more spending will push us into and keep us in a depression and destroy jobs just like Roosevelt did for 16 years. It isn’t right to take money from other people it’s called stealing. Mr Obama seems to be a liar and now seems to be determined to be a thief. You can’t argue with History!

*************
a Demo Senator running for reelection said Obama really means he will cut taxes at 125,000
*************
Sure is a good thing he isn’t running for President. As for the rest of your rant, it’s been $250K since the beginning of the campaign.. not any different now, wasn’t any different back then. Still the same, no change. Not a very hard concept to grasp, unless grasping concepts is a weak point for you (and apparently is). If you are willing to take anyones word for stuff without researching the truth yourself, then please help me get my $30 million out of Nigeria.. I’ll give you 10% if you can send me the necessary banking fees of $10,412.32.
Obama ’08 – for a better America, even for idiots!

We live in a global economy. Which means global movement of capital. Which means that all those capital gains tax cuts go *out* of the country to build factories and houses and buy stocks and bonds that favor *other* countries. Capital gains tax cuts basically allow the upper 2% (who already control 95% of the wealth) to invest outside of the US. They gain the roads, the infrastructure etc. that allow their companies to prosper in the US (where would Wal-Mart be without a national highway system)without having to contribute to the building and maintenance of that infrastructure. If these folks were investing in the US and not moving money off-shore, capital gains tax cuts would make sense. But they do move their money off-shore, out of country and into building factories in China, Singapore, buildings in Hong Kong, and infrastructure everywhere but the US.
Enough Corporate loopholes. If your company makes money in the US, pony up your share of the costs of maintenance for the infrastructure, the schools, the hospitals and the energy facilities required to make your business grow.

mccain has lost the plot…he reeks of desperation…
pathetic to see such a basically good man stoop so low…the worst of politics…
reminds me of a fish on a hot sidewalk…

Oh boy, looky here, a new idea from the McCain-Palin camp on capital gains. Lower the rate even more than it is now, and give even bigger tax breaks to the wealthy. What a crock.

OBAMA IS A COMMON MONKEY.
WHAT PART OF THAT DON’T YOU GET?

Kellee: The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. And you have distorted history: Reagan raised taxes twice in 1982 and this helped to get out of a recession. And Bush raised taxes and so did Clinton. How do you think that the government can spend all of this money without raising taxes? All of these wars. all of this defense spending, which by the way is approaching 1/3 or more of our budget? Somebody has to pay for it. The poor cannot. They have no money and are “taxed” through inflation. They are also the slave wage earners for the rich. The middle class are squeezed. The only people that can afford to pay for our wars and massive spending are the extremely wealthy. I think that $250K is too low. It should be $500K and up. Ask Warren Buffett about all of this.

The entire philosophy of taxing based upon wages earned is silly to me. At least with respect to those making under a million or so. I like the idea of having VAT taxes and having consumption taxes. So you get taxed on what you spend, not what you earn. And that would also help with conservation and saving. We already have sales taxes and gas consumption taxes.

The inheritance tax, for all of you patriots out there, is a tax that was put into place by Thomas Jefferson. He did it is as a way to mitigate dynastic wealth. It has been repealed twice over the years and has been modified under Bush. It should be put into place only for the super wealthy. Common chumps that have a few million in their estate should be exempt in my opinion.

Obama should spend more millions on infomertials.

Since a number of you think higher taxes are good thing and those who don’t are greedy. When you file your 07 return send the treasury an extra 5 or 10 percent. You won’t because most liberals are selfish when it comes to theirs . Or maybe send Obamas half brother living in Kenya on $12.00 per month some of your dough hypocrites.

Well now on one side you have 2 people with smarts and on the other side you have 1 who can’t remember what he ate for breakfast or maybe he didn’t eat at all, just don’t remember what he said 2 hours ago and the other has fluff between her ears a journalism major that flunked out of college at least 5 times….hippy smasher Rodney is right the next time you go shopping read the label. Angie Bush killed the middle class. And now mr. dementia and mrs. fluff want to continue to destroy

How does the richest man in the world feel about taxes? Warren Buffett in an interview with Tom Brokaw:
Tom: You’ve talked about in your own office, for example, you pay a much lower tax rate with all of your wealth than, say, a receptionist does.

I just follow what the U.S. Congress tells me to do.
And how about the rest of the wealthy?
Tom on set: And to further prove his point, Buffett has challenged .. he’s offered a million dollars to charity to any of the Forbes 400 richest people who can show on average that they pay a higher tax rate than their secretaries pay, but so far, Brian, he’s had no takers.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/21543506
And John still thinks they are paying too much.. what a guy!
Vote for McCain if you want to pay more taxes so the wealthy can pay even less!

Mark Garnet – your simplistic model does not reflect reality..

I’ve already voted for Obama, Mike. Guess I’m done waiting for Conservative Charity to trickle down. No part of you holds any respect at all for fair taxation. What fairness do you believe in – fair days pay for a fair days work – does that ring any bells. Loved the silly sandwhich way of explaining to all the really dumb folks out there what it all means. Guess what, Mike. They aren’t 10 year olds. They get it. Keep plugging for McCain, Pal. How much they paying you by the hour, these days? I heard they cut it back to $8 ’cause he screwed up his budget – again. Ah well, $8 an hour is better than nothing. Just starting your shift, or finishing?

-Licensed Plumber- Joe also needs to pay his back child support.
It’s amazing to see McCain/Falin cling to Joe the Plumber. This guy is the classic deadbeat and yet they try to make a hero out of him.

If Obama becomes President within six months Obama will start butchering and gassing Christians and Jews.
Why?
A.- Obama is a born a Muslim and was a practicing Muslim until the age of 28 which makes him a secret Muslim.
Today I sold all my stocks and bonds and are in cash 100%.
I bought Guns food and Gold and are looking for a safe country in Europe.
Remember the smart Jews in Germany who didn’t believe in Hitler’s “Change”, they sold everything and moved to neutral countrie and lived. The others believed Hitler and were butchered and gassed.
I’m leaving for Europe soon. White civilization is about to end in the US and I don’t like the law of the Jungle.
May god save us all.

Reminds me of an old Pink Floyd song “Money”. Deep down this is what tax increase proponents really think:
Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bull****.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.
Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

To “Please pass on” red balls, blue balls. Sounds painful. You’re getting balls confused with brains.

Or you could abolish the income tax and use it as it was intended, a tax on Corporate profits? Whatddya think folks? Think a good hard tax on these mutinational corporations who aren’t even paying taxes, could pay so YOU could KEEP YOUR money!?! Naw, that’s “too radical”, it’s far more stable to tax and bomb overseas like McCain or tax what’s left of the evaporating middle class so there will just be the eilite rich on one end, and everybody else dependent on government handouts on the other. Way to go Obama/McCain, you guys are offically INSANE!!! Why are you folks voting for our own enslavement??? Vote for a winner? You voted for Bush twice… what did you “win?”

don’t let the door hit you in the ass…
how you gonna pull a trailer to europe?
you’ll take a big hit converting $ to euros btw

A low flat tax is an excellent idea. It increases the tax base, and so it increases the total that the government takes in. Note that Hong Kong has a flat tax, and they recently lowered that tax. And they are part of China, a Communist country.
So why is anyone in Capitalist USA even thinking of raising taxes? They are just closet Communists, namely Socialists, who don’t know better.
By raising taxes, you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Obama says a rising tide raises all boats, but not if some of the boats are overloaded. Even Atlas would Shrug!

her autobiography… “hustler’s nailin’ palin”
doesn’t she realize France has a large socialist component to it’s government?
this woman is dense, like lead

How is this announcement of ANY benefit to McCain- taking time out at this point to make an additional concession to the wealthy? The non-partisan analysis spells it out pretty simply- better for millionaires, obviously worse for those who will have to make up the shortfall. How many of McCain’s below $250K supporters have ever had to even know what capital gains are? (I assume there are more of them than there are millionaires- does he think they won’t understand?)
Really, someone tell me what the strategy is- I’m mystified…

Warren,
Question are there any job openings for secretary that make that kind of money???? I’m sure there would be a lot of people standing in line.
Don’t know where you dug up this insanity.
Show me poor folks that hire people.
If your working go ask your boss if he is rich and likes to pay more taxes, simply economics, profit goes down people are out of work.

Catholics will help in the victory of mc cain-Palin.
