LOL, yeah that's it. try right now that person that makes 300K pays, right now 105K in taxes. So 1/3 of their pay is not good enough for you. You're a mechanic, let's say you own a shop that makes 250K a year, you will get slammed worse than 33%, try more like 40% plus you have to pay heath insurance and not insurance you can pick, but Obama's insurance or pay a fine. LOL yeah Big Gent I think your lights just turned on.

Read up on the tax code, just because a person that makes 30K=15%, under Obama's plan you will pay the same up to 43K. Sad thing is that 32% of the people don't even pay taxes.

Here's what Socialism is, sound like a person you know?

"social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members."

bye-bye, here is something for you to think about, if only 32% of Americans pay taxes. That would mean that the tax rules are really screwed up because most big companies have a cap, if I’m not mistaken. So that would mean that the majority of the monies is ours anyway; the tax payer. So I don’t consider it socialism because I would rather see that money go to refurbish our infrastructure and government programs rather then continue to allow private companies to steal it from us.

Here is something else to think about Economic Socialism or as I like to call it Economic Terrorism. Let’s guarantee that private Financial Institutions and selected Corporations never falter by Socializing their debt. This protective blanket will shield the greed harbored by these institution by giving them the freedom to take risk at the expense of their consumers and tax payers. Why? Because wrong right or indifferent they can’t go bankrupt.

Can I please get a deal like that for my mother in law’s small business?

Yeah - they do tend to forget that the economic downturn didn't really get started rolling until after the Dems took control of Congress, don't they. I wonder if they remember Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Dems going off on vacation and staying while a small group of Republicans and Dems stayed behind in the hope that they could convince others to do the same and help America. I emailed Pelosi and asked her to come back but she didn't.

You lib dumacrats are sooo funny. Lets take that person that makes 30000 an. Has a wife and 2 kids a cute little bungalow (house) When they file their tax return with dependent ded, real estate tax ded. etc. gets a nice big return AND DESERVES IT(pays under 25%) Now we move up a generation. His neighbor makes 65000 an. kids are grown and gone, is in a higher bracket with his income files his return and OWES. (pays over 45%) doesnt complain. NO WAIT, he is taking home more money than his neighbor, gee, thats not fair even though he put himself through trade school and raised 2 responsible children that have jobs themselves. But he pays almost 4 times the taxes his neighbor pays, still not fair? NObama, you ax holes.

It's always good to research on various websites before believing something to be the gospel truth. Mr. Berg's lawsuit has gotten a lot of press but before spreading the word about it or any other so-called facts go to:

snopes.com: This website debunks urban legends and debunks information on e-mails sent around about the candidates and others. This includes e-mails which have distorted quotes from Obama's books in order to smear him.

factcheck.org: This neutral website analyzes political ads for truth and details facts as presented in the presidential and vice-presidential debates.

fightthesmears.com: Obama's website which discusses head on, stories/lies/exaggerations told about him.

You might consider also going to rollingstone.com and read the article McCain: Make Believe Maverick.

As for the income tax issue, we have a progressive tax already. Spreading it around might have been a poor choice of words for Obama, but but the truth is:as the taxes stand right now, we are spreading the wealth around already.

Vote for Obama and you'll all be walking to work at McDonalds making nothing. or better yet stay home sit on your Fat A-- and collect off the goverement you bunch of uselesss fools. No Money Mo Taxes I'll be standing in the voting line on Nov 4th listening to all the Moron Demacruds talking about how good it' going to be when that no nothin Jomama gets in. Renminds me of the Clinton elections I'm talking a BARF BAG

I don't understand why people making less than 40'000 a year are making taxes an issue considering they receive most if not all of there taxes back as well as get 1'000s in child care credits. The idea that I work hard to make a living and someoneelse gets to reap the rewards is sickening.

cook I guess it was over your head. You are so cute at discrediting "urban legends" for NObama and Rolling Stone to dog McCain? You condasending wench. Thats why I referred ti tabloids. Do unto others. tisk tisk

As far as I know, Rolling Stone is not considered a tabloid. As you know there are plenty of articles on the web less than favorable to Obama and bloggers on myfox have sent us to those sites. It's only fair to send them to a site that takes a blinders-off look at McCain.

Secondly, the websites factcheck.org and snopes.com are neutral sites. They don't take sides as some of us do. They debunk information going around about all the candidates. I don't consider it wrong to direct people to neutral websites where both sides are analyzed for truthfulness.

Factcheck.org in particular points fingers at both McCain and Obama for not being forthcoming with the complete truth in their political ads and accurate with information in their debates.

Downriver, even though you and I do not agree, we do have the freedom to exchange ideas. That's a good thing. That's why we are blessed to live in the United States where we can freely exchange ideas.

And when I said "Do unto Others" it was in reference to derogatory names used in the place of Democrats, Republicans, McCain or Obama. We can discuss without being disrespectful to each other or the candidates.

Marygrove, thank you for your words of encouragement. I think it's important to focus on the issues that will matter on November 5th, the day after the election: the economy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, health insurance, etc. It's important that all of us take this election seriously, forget partisan divisions, and focus on the future good of our nation and in turn the good of the world. Together we stand. Divided we fall.
