Please research Obama's plan. There are no tax increases for Americans making under $250,000 per year. The middle class will receive a tax cut of $1,000 per year, no taxes on senior citizens living on Social Security under $50K, and elimination of capital gains taxes for small businesses. You need to do the research to find out that obama is going to tax the middle class the most to send aid to his other country Kenya. He has stated that many times. He will make sure the rich get richer just like his buddy Tony R and Daly in Chicago.

How is it possible?
How could a man with the farthest-left voting record in the U.S. Senate be on the brink of becoming the next President of the United States?
And how could he vow to raise taxes and increase government spending exponentially at a time of grave economic crisis...
And how could he promise unilateral retreat from the War on Terror and unconditional talks with foreign despots...
And who has had long-standing, close relationships with a former terrorist, a hate-spewing racist minister, and the corrupt operators of Chicago machine politics?
The liberal media have one answer to the question: Barack Hussein Obama has been "delivered to us" (in the words of MSNBC's Chris Matthews) as a kind of political savior who will end our national divisions, bind up our historical wounds, and infuse us with "hope" by delivering "change."
But then there is the real answer. Thanks to the very same liberal media, few Americans have the slightest idea who Barack Obama really is, what he really stands for... or how he actually got where he is today. ooh! I know, I know! The Dems are hoping that you are so mad at the republicans that they can sneek by a guy that you don't really know. He says all the right things, smooth etc. Hoping that you won't dive in too deep on his "present" votes. If you do they label you racist!

Thanks for spelling it out clearly, Taxman Cometh. You are VERY welcome! It is going to hit the ones that are most likely to vote for him the hardest and they are too blind to see it coming! Those who are single making $30,000. a year will see their taxes doubled from what is currently $4,500. per year to $8,400. per year with Obama as president. And that is those who have recently graduated college and are starting out making around that, per year. The biggest BREAK will come to those making $50,000. who are currently being taxed $12,500. per year and McCain has no plans to change that, where as Obama plans to only up their taxes up to $14,000. per year. I wish that Obama supporters would check into how much they will be paying MORE if he is elected. Perhaps then, it will hit them to rethink their vote!

Not so much as a squeak out of the myriad of high profile Preachers always willing to pontificate when it suits their political purposes.
It reaveals the hypocracy of the so-called Religeous Right.
Is it religeous teaching to use images depicting Moses reciting Biblical passages in an admitted comedic setting intended to use the story of Moses to belittle a person running for the highest office in the land?
Is that what Born-Again, holier than thou, types teach your kids is just fine?
When your kids see those McCain insults to religeon and Obama on T.V., do you chuckle and tell them "that's okay, because McCain is doing the Lord's work"?
Is presenting Moses as a buffoon pandering votes for McCain the Lord's work?
Aren't you smart enough to realize it trivializes the story of Moses as his image becomes a vote-pandering pawn of the McCain campaign?
Perhaps and endorsement of McCain edited from King of Kings will be next?
Would a Godly person think up, produce, use or approve such an advertisement that belittles both Barack Obama and religeon itself?
I don't think so...
But then, I'm just a common Christian with Christian values. That's o.k., Obama has his #1 Rap star on his side. I am sure that Obama has said something to denounce his favorite rap star for this song, but, what you wanna bet that this is still his favorite song right now? OBAMA IS HERE - Ludacris http://www.youtube.com/watch... Just wanted to point out that this is one of the only songs that does not have profanity in it, so it can be played on radio stations. He be talking to his sheeples.

That will not change under Obama's plan. As I mentioned, the middle class will get a $1,000 tax cut with an Obama presidency. In contrast, McCain will expand Bush's irresponsible tax cuts for the wealthiest 1-2% income levels. The Wall Street Journal has noted that McCain's plan will likely increase deficit spending. After the past eight years of the falling dollar and record levels of national debt, McCain's plan is not acceptable to me for the kids in my family who would be left paying that debt.

To be clear and concise, 401k's are tax deferred. Not tax exempt. There is a sizable difference between the two. You do infact pay taxes when you deduct from your 401k at retirement.

That shows you where his priorities are..... He already stated that Americans are gluttons are are taking away from other countries...And they don't like it... we won't share what we have earned with those whose only function is to breed and starve and pass on AIDS.. Not our problem. Obama sounds more and more like a mind controlled sophmore.

John McCains wife Cindy speaking to a large group of people in Sturgis S.D. said:..."I'd like to thank all of you for your support of our troops, and here's why: I'm many things in my life, and one thing I'd like to be is your first lady. But more importantly, I'm Jack McCain's mother and Jimmy McCain's mother, one in the U.S. Navy and another one in the Marine Corps, an Iraqi vet."
BIG Difference from Michelles Obamas statement that 'I have never been proud of America since I became a adult'
No to Michelle and... YES ! to Cindy McCain for 1st Lady !

Yes yor 401k is tax exempt, But the companies your 401k invest in are going to take a hit. I'm sorry the Obama plan rolls back caopitol gains to pre Bush, so how that is a tax break I don't know. What do you concider middle class? As for McCain, how is vetoing any bill with an earmark going to raise the debt. Also anyone that says a plan will raise the debt has a motive. If you promise new spending, sure how are you going to pay for it? Now If say your trying to control spending there is an issue. All speculation of future tax revenue is speculative. These numbers are based on current intake. Meaning if not another dollar came in the debt would climb. OK, but as the econmy grows taxes come in. Alot of taxes are % of price based. While some in government feel our pain at the pump they are raking in more than ever. There was 1.25 trillion dollars paid last year in personal income taxes. The majority paid by the top 2% of the wealthest in this country. Just how much more do you need from them?
