I'm seriously considering voting for Obama...

Finally. You're coming around to McCain's way of thinking.:thumb:

"All things being equal, we need the Republicans out of the White House for a while."

That statement stands alone.

 

I knew the righteous indignation would come out!! The phrase "all things being equal" means "Even if the Republicans had the same policies as the Democrats, the Republicans need to be out of office for a while".

Regardless, the word turn was indeed not in that post. I'm still trying to find it.

 

Clinton was getting BJs at Drive-In movies when McCain proposed his 1st non-partisan spending cut.

 

Regardless if it's 47% or 38% that don't pay taxes my point is still the same. How is Obama cutting taxes for people that don't pay taxes. It's nothing more than a redistribution of wealth government handout. How can it be refuted that an increased tax rate for those making over $250,000 and handouts for those not paying taxes is redistribution of wealth?

It is what it is. Small businesses and individuals making over $250,000 will pay higher taxes under Obama's plan and handouts will be given to those that pay no income tax. This is vintage redistribution of wealth.

Obama's spending plans:

$65 billion-a-year health plan (Similar Hillary plan estimated up to 150 billion.)
$15 billion in green energy spending
$85 billion in tax cuts and credits
$25 billion-a-year increase in foreign aid
$18 billion a year in education spending
$3.5 billion for a national service plan

This totals $211.5 billion annually on top of the already existing running deficits. (The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) predicted the federal deficit for fiscal year 2008 would come in at $410 billion.)

Since you are so concerned with the deficit, and rightly so, what is the expected net revenue generated from Obama's tax plan? (Tax increase for those making $250,000 plus and tax cut for those making less.) How is Obama going to reduce the huge estimated deficits while creating huge new spending programs that will no doubt cost much more than his estimated $211.5 billion annually? Please explain to me how Obama's tax and spending plan is a responsible one.

 

Why is it always the EVIL wealthy people? Why isn't it ever the EVIL poor people?

Granted there are rich people who don't give a damn about others (including the self-righteous Hollywood crowd) but there are also tons of philanthropists who support charities, research, education, parks & recreation, etc.

Many of these people prefer making society better without government intervention. They don't want another Bill Clinton saying...I can spend your money better than you can.

These people are made out to be cold-hearted while many who have the ability to contribute and choose not to are considered innocent victims of a cruel society.

Are we to believe that any politician believes we can make things better or move back into the black by raising taxes? Hell no! They manipulate uneducated people and then the money goes straight into special interests.

If you tax me more then you force me to sit on the remainder of my money. The amount you take won't compensate for the money that I will save as opposed to it constantly changing hands. I'll simply wait four years (or how ever long it takes) to start spending again.

When Katrina hit LA/MS, people from all around the nation donated cash. This wasn't in addition to their normal donations though. Many other charities realized a sharp decline in gifts because people were simply donating elsewhere.

If you raise taxes on those who can afford to pay, you'll also be taxing those who can afford to give. Expect a sharp drop off in charities if taxes increase. Maybe that's part of the master plan. Less money to Christian churches would go over well with some.

If you want to fix the problem...stop spending! Also hold non-contributors accountable. We're getting no return on our investment in tons of people on public assistance.
