Suck it up, boys. You voted for it.

[dennisw]

You can read the whole thing but out of these 15 states only Texas voted McCain

So the rich loony libs will be PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS!!! PAYING MORE MORE MORE to the Kenyan they voted for

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I’d be curious as to what percentage of the over-$200K households voted for the socialist.

I'm sure it's over 50% nationwide
Voting 0bama was a mania same as a credit default swap mania

[sionnsar]

WA state may be 13th on the list, but it’s going to hit HARD in and around Redmond. We have a lot of two-earner Microsoftie couples (and families), who generally vote for liberals and taxes.

According to cnn...it was 52% Obama, 46% McCain, 2% other (source:http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#USP00p1)

Yea, BUT....Obama is Delaying the Implementation until after the 2009 elections.

He’s Stupid, but he isn’t CRAZY !

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

[AirForceMom]

“So the rich loony libs will be putting their money where their mouth is!!! paying more more more to the Kenyan they voted for.”

Judging by Mr. Obama’s appointees, liberals do not pay taxes.

IMHO

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Never thought I'd be glad to see “the rich” being screwed by leftist politicians. But, I must say, I know some rich lefties that supported Obammie the Commie, and I hope they get dry-humped by “the One” and his phony “Zen smile.”

I am getting a sadistic sort of satisfaction from this information...

I shouldn’t, though, should I?

[penelopesire]

Interesting numbers. Do we know where the often repeated numbers of ‘only the top 2% of workers in America earn over $250,000. per year’ comes from? Not one of those states had the numbers at 2%..they were all higher with the lowest being 3.8%.

[MHGinTN]

Liberals are too stupid to realize it is their affirmative action Marxist messiah who has decreased their standard of living when it finally hits them that they are not better off than under Bush. Sadly, Bush and RNC massive spending is what has landed US in this over-the-top economic crisis. Socialist are too stupid to realize you cannot borrow your way to wealth generation without applying capital to business instead of applying tax revenues to spending. WE are in a world of hurt, folks!

What the average middle class guy meant by change was...make this all go away and let me keep eating out 4 nights a week and buying $5 lattes every morning.

[penelopesire]

You mean the 2010 elections. It is still going to hurt business and employment..because most companies make long range plans and they will all be scaling back in anticipation of high taxes and more regulation. It is a job killer starting now!
