Change. Yeah, we has it 100K is the new "Rich"
Obama's Change Website ^

Posted on 11/20/2008 9:59:28 AM PST by Explodo

Well the details are back up on the Messiahs website and change we got.

Looks like $100k is the new $250

So help me out here, does the change.gov site change daily?

Does this mean if you make over 100K you are considered "Rich"?

I think I need to create a spreadsheet to keep score...Also, I feel like I need to go take a shower...wandering around Change.gov is akin to reading DU

You’re missing the worst part.

After the currency is hyper-inflated, $100K Will buy a meal for a small family at a diner.

We’ll all be millionaires.

And we’ll be taxed accordingly.

Hi, CW. This is something totally irrelevant to the thread, but I am checking my own indicators of a recession.

Are you planning to put up all your Christmas lights this year? I remember the Carter years, when our neighborhoods in the Harrisburg suburbs “went dark” for Christmas because of the bad economy. People didn’t want to spend money on “frills” or excessive energy use.

For the first time in memory, our Governor, Milton Shapp, decreed that the Christmas tree on the Capitol grounds would not be lighted.

If this happens all over this year, I’ll know FOR SURE that we’re in a depression.

Look, if you got big bills and expenses, You aint rich.

At 50K if you rent, have no old lady and can sock away some dough??? dude, you aint rich. (Yer ok)

At 100k you got two tenagers drivin yer a$$ up the wall and you can aford to send them elsewhere, You aint rich.

At 150K per year if you got folks livin in yer house earnin less than minimum wage?.. You aint rich.
Who’s rich? somebody must be. I hear they pay a lot in taxes I’m sure to be not invited to thier “social gatherings” but if the top 10% pays 70% I’ll let it slide

Id like to be truley born again, I did my part spiritually. and I don’t owe any body anything. I must suffice with that. LISTEN:

These, the United States of America is over 10 Trillion dollars in debt. No joke, no pun, not funny.
We ride it, hell, it’s our tune, WE allowed this to happen, WE ‘basically’ did nothing, each incomming admin always adresses the debt the same way, “It’S the other guys fault”

Truth: our own, (so called) beaten up economy can kill the debt in short order. We just gotta get tough, hunker down for a year, stop payments to illegal aliens for a year, stop the trough that’s filling the soon to be dead people in Africa,(Aids is not a joke, oops I didnt get that memo...) Stop paying, well there we go... I’ll say it because I just don’t give a shite, FORGO THE NANNY STATE NONSENSE FOR ONE FULL YEAR.

Then disestablish the Fed Res -...
But I’m a dreamer, I hope, ye know fer change, that we’d be free. but alas If I’m lucky I wont get arrested.

Holding a leftist to their own rules is like trying to nail jello to a wall.

They have no respect for rules, only for outcomes.

“The American dream is increasingly out of reach for many people”

That’s because people who want the dream are unwilling to work for it. Conceive, build, and maintain are how people achieve their dreams.

That’s how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs built their businesses.

“jobs disappearing as a result of global competition”

If people from around the world get useful degrees and have solid marketable skills, they are the ones who will get the jobs. I heard that the Brits are complaining that the Eastern Euros are taking their jobs, but they’re the ones with solid degrees and can speak many languages.

Frankly no one is entitled to a job anymore and that’s way some people are falling and staying behind.

“declining health care coverage”

Health care coverage is expensive, but with all the lawsuits against the medical industry it’s no wonder. Furthermore, there are a lot of people who demand that one thing after another be covered by insurance companies.

Challenge any of your lib acquaintances to pay more taxes than required by the current tax rates. If they disagree with the Bush tax cut, they shouldn’t participate in it.

Remember before the election when someone said the above statement was "racist"? I didn't get it either.

Doesn't matter if it's 100 or 250, if you own stock, cd's or savings & get any kind of dividends, he's going to kill you with his 39.6% tax on those, so who is he kidding?

When he says, no new tax on those making under "so & so amount" he isn't including all the NEW taxes that will be across the board, no matter how much you make!!!!!

Oh, don’t forget,

you’ll also be funding the killing of innocent children, sometimes without the consent of the mother,

with your tax money.

If you are white, you are “rich”. I learned early — I was robbed at knife-point when I was 13. I asked the boys why they were robbing me. They said, “cuz you is rich”. I asked why they thought so. They said, “cuz you is white”. I’ve been a realist about racial relations ever since.

That’s why a federal tax on income is inherently wrong - your income is basically arbitrary, and depends much on the cost of living where you are.

I wouldn’t want the feds to make COLA adjustments on their income tax either.

Yep...

The gun CONTROL shit is back on his site too, under Agenda - Urban Policy.

Push a permanent so-called "assault weapon" ban, and there WILL be PUSH BACK Hussein.

If you want to take them away from your fellow inner-city thugs, that's one thing, but don't even TRY to take law-abiding citizen's semi-auto firearms.

>>Plus, he’s asking “wealthy” Americans to RETURN the tax cuts they received the past eight years. He’s rescinding Pres. Bush’s tax cuts and asking them to return them!<<

Ex post facto laws are unconstitutional. Resist!

Obama is all about hope and change, you know like “I ‘hope’ they don’t notice I am going to ‘change’ my definition of rich!”
