..but, but, I thought there was no difference between the two candidates.
bad news if you have a job or a house you're "rich"
Basically, if you’re crazy enough to want to pay (MUCH) higher taxes, pull the handle for Hussein in November.
As long as you’ve been freeping, I would have thought you would know better than to post something you received via email before chasing it down to its source to find out if it has any credibility. If the originator of the email didn’t bother to cite references or sources, then it should be viewed as unfounded rumor at best until corroborating sources can be established.
Despite not liking McCain as the Republican nominee, I will certainly vote for him over Obama. This comparison of tax policies alone should give any conservatives thinking about staying home on election day a reason to vote for McCain.
Where is your documented proof that this “email” is factual and true in nature?
We don’t make “a lot”, relative to many others in urban CA. However, I kept thousands more under the Bush cuts.
Obama seems to be aimed at older, retired or near retirement folks, and those at the time of their peek income making years. Those folks will pay 10’s of thousands more $$$.
Kind of puts a new spin on things in considering political donations, which are normally taboo in this house.
My guess is he hopes to dole out exceptions to friends and allies, and use everyone else to foot the bill for healthcare and more SS without a new payroll tax. Shifting $$$ out of the military won’t be enough without broadscale wealth redistribution.
Our economy will take on a Socialist European hue, with high unemployment, low growth and monster barriers to entry. Like Europe, graduates will be forced to scrape up family connections over a period of years to get government or the few corporate jobs in order to get into the work force.

In an interview, Carly Fiorina, a top adviser, explains that any tax increases on ``middle- and working-class’’ Americans are off limits.
She says if a bipartisan coalition is ``creative enough’’ to fashion tax increases on wealthier Americans, that may prove palatable.
That will cause the lovers of big and Bigger government to choke as they stammer to justify why government should be allowed to continue taxing the numerical gain in dollars solely due to their own deliberate destruction of the value of the currency. It is a very potent political and economic issue to highlight the philosophies of the two candidates.
(And why GWB hasn't done this is beyond me.)
