Barak Obama is going to raise taxes on everyone...!!!
making over $250,000 a year. Isn't about time they paid their share?

He'll be giving a tax cut to everyone else.

John McCain...he's for giving billions more in tax breaks to corporations and their weatlhy owners.

If you're a corporation or own one, vote for John McCain!!!

If you are retired, work for a living or would like to be working, vote for Barak Obama.


That's my idea for an ad that starts out looking like a Republican ad with that dark scary music they like to use.

3. exactly. DUers need to
send this chart to everyone they know. It is from the Washington Post. Unless you make over $600,000 per year, your taxes will go down or stay the same.

2. I've opened the eyes of a number of people in my office, simply by posting this on my cube wall:

WHICH TAX BRACKET ARE YOU IN?




LMAO - I just poked my head out to make sure I had the heading on it correct, and there were 2 co-workers pouring over it, and shaking their heads. :rofl:

:woohoo:

4. The funniest thing about Republicans
The poor and middle class one that is.

They will defend the tax cuts for the rich time and time again and slam Obama for raising the taxes of the very same people. All while the republicans did nothing to lower their taxes or improve their cost of living.

It's like they feel obligated to protect the rich for some reason. Maybe they have the delusional fantasy that they too will one day be rich. I don't get it.

5. Yes they do feel obligated to protect the rich.
Some will look on a rich person in their community as one who's beaten the system. There are people who seem to live vicariously through the upper classers in their midst. The belief is that taxing the rich is punishing them for their success.
