Well Mr. Obama you are correct. Taxation needs fixed but the fix needs to be declines not increase in taxation.

- Top 10% of wage earners pay 70% of the Fed. Tax Revenue.
- 50% of Americans don't pay any Fed. Tax Revenue!
Summary - the wealthy are already paying more than their fair share!

That's you lame answer. The wealthy are paying their taxes. More than you do. You don't provide any answers, EVER! It's not you money. GET IT! You want to work for it then you make it! It's not the government job to redistribute wealth. And don't give the lame liberal response "it's already redistributed" Wrong! Wealth is not a bad word and success should be rewarded! PERIOD.

Larry, your only support is class warfare is OK becuase you want more money. Well sir, in America you have to work for it!

that's so dumb , have one good school system and if you want to go private PAY FOR IT YOURSELF
My kids went to public schools even though I could afford private. That is a choice I made.

What choice do the poor have? Attend public schools that are forced to tolerate unacceptable behavior to the detriment of the kids that want to learn.

Nobody pays more taxes than me

The top 1% make 20% of income and pay%40 of taxes , but it's a smaller % of their wealth , but we have 1000 not paying their taxes also , middle class can't hide income like the rich
Class warfare is fine with me

What else do you purchase as a percentage of your income? The top 20% pay way more then the cost of services they use. The bottom 50% use way more than they pay for.

Those are the facts!

How many decades need to pass, and how many generations need to suffer before you'll admit that a dramatic ne approach is worth trying?

Why are you afraid of using the same dollars to give people choice? Are you a public school teacher or administrator? Are you a government employ that owes his job to have uneducated and dependent masses?

"Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1784. FE 4:15, Papers 7:557

In other words the more you make the more you can afford to contribute to our great nation.

After all no fortune is made without the hard work of all involved. You should be proud that some of the profit gained through the hard work of many is returned to benefit us all.

And yet Jefferson and Madision and the other founders did not institute an income tax. In fact, income taxes in the U.S. really did come about until the 20th century.

BTW, I don't mind helping people that do everything in their power to help themselves. Unfortunately our government doesn't even come close to imposing such a standard.

Cindy McCain won't tell you about how she stole narcotics!

She loves the poor class but has a private jet. She is proud of her Country but no one knows what Country that is.

Let's hope they don't make an issue of Obama's wife this election because Cindy has had some serious drug problems as well as criminal activity. No wonder McCain said he was against talking about Obama’s wife LOL

Social programs should be a ladder out not a permanent growing and bloated beauracracy.

Head start is a good program, many social programs do not break the vicious circle of dependency they help create.

Yes! And many of them aren't getting the job done, especially those in the poorest jurisdictions. That happens even though they are better funded than most other jurisdictions.

Why are you afraid of giving people a choice?

LOL
I know Obama and his Kool Aid Kids don't like specifics, but let's take a look anyway.
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000
per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing
home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15%(no change)
OBAMA 39.6%
If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds,
college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money
earned on taxes if Obama becomes president.
The higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market as American's cash out before the Obama penalty takes effect.
INCOME TAX
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 (new taxes)
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
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN 0%(No change)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
With each passing day, the "magic" of Saint Obama the Marxist is washing away and being replaced by the reality of a smug, smirking con man.
These numbers are biased and inaccurate.

Uh oh!!! Bad news for McCain fans!! Suddenly he's going back on his earlier promises not to raise taxes. This won't go over well with the base:

At least he didn't say "read my lips".... did he??

You really don't understand choice do you?

Give every kid a choice using the existing funding. This will help the unlucky ones more than any others because they currently have no choice.

BTW, here are the latest per student totals I could find.

http://www.newsline.umd.edu/business/specialr...

My schools in Harford County are at the bottom and still outperform most. Meanwhile Baltimore City is near the top and lags all in performance.

How do you propose to fix something that the experts have failed to fix for decades?

Why are you afraid of choice for all?
