Don’t vote on the tax issue. I have a foolproof plan to fix your tax problems not matter who gets elected. If whoever gets elected raises your taxes just take a page out of George W’s playbook. Figure out what the increase is on your taxes and get a cash advance on your credit card to pay the difference and only pay the minimum payment on it. Sure W made the process easier taking out loans from hostile countries to pay for his tax cuts but if you get an increase just charge it like Dubya would do. However the majority of Americans would pay less under Obama then McCain. ---

I wish that were true, but ultimately, it won’t be. The numbers just don’t work. I know you were too young to remember, but when Bill Clinton originally ran for president, one of the cornerstones of his campaign was the promise of a middle class tax cut. After he actually got into office, we did not get a middle class tax cut. That would have been OK with me, but what we got was a middle class tax **increase**. Obama will have to do the same thing to support all his programs, and he will do it, no doubt at all in my mind. ---

if i were that successful i would not mind paying more. the real issue that no one is paying any fucking attention to is HOW WE ARE SPENDING ALL OF THE TAX MONEY! ridiculous shit. if we could stop exporting all of our money to the middle east by buying their oil, and use our tax dollars to put americans to work… imagine instead of welfare handouts, if you are hard off you have to get a job working on a highway construction crew. then youre getting something for your money. ACTUALLLY putting it back into the economy, unlike these retarded rebate checks. ---

The policies that are enacted in this country are NOT for the country’s own good. They are about who to appease, which wheel to grease, which special interest to court, etc. The litmus test for things have moved from “is this best for the country?” to “is this the best for my political career?” Its corrupt in a just barely intangible way. And it has now become the status quo and no one even questions it. ---

Ok. This thread is fucking retarded. Obama was a constitutional law professor at University of Chicago, graduated from Harvard Law, and was a state senator for 8 years. In addition to the 4 years he has served in the US Senate. I wrote much more at length in that other thread. Sucks that he cant be a McDonalds Manager though. This thread rocks.
