interesting data.. mccain vs obama
 
I dont think I could ever vote for a democrat. I may be the only gay person on the planet to say that but I try not to let social issues cloud my political views. My #1 politcal view is keeping taxes as low as possible.. followed closely behind that is my belief that socialized medicine would absolutely RUIN our great country and our medical program over here (I've lived in Ireland and New Zealand.. both countries with socialized medicine and let me be the first to say... it SUCKED)

I got this email today that really scared me, I do not know if it is true or not, but I do know that dumbocraps always raise taxes. Please vote for McCain!

Here's the email:

INTERESTING DATA JUST RECEIVED ON TAXES

Spread the word.....

This is something you should be aware of so you don't get blind-sided.
This is really going to catch a lot of families off guard. It should
make you worry.

Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales

How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your
home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you
make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the
elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN 15% (no change)

OBAMA39.6%

How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds,
college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays
or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money
earned on taxes if Obama become president.

The experts predict that 'higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains
would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN (no changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Under Obama your taxes will more than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty
straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses,
farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families
for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to
these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on
homes that are more than
2400 square feet

* New gasoline taxes (as if
gas weren't high enough already)

* New taxes on natural resources
consumption (heating
gas, water, electricity)

* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
so we can receive the same
level of medical care as other
third-world countries!!!

Drape a white robe all over him...give him a beard......take another look at his name.

Antitrust32 07-22-2008 09:14 AM

I am also Independent... because I'm not really happy with the Repubs either (especially this administration)... but I dont know how I could vote for anyone who would steal more money from me!

He would also have you wear black cloth all over your body and you would have no rights.


He would make you shut that big mouth of yours.

Unless you are in the 35% bracket, you aren't going to get taxed any more...maybe one bracket below that too

Hey..gotta' pay for Dubya's war somehow

Well I don't know...don't read it.



Time also painted Simpson as a very bad man.

Did they do that?

Or did Simpson?

Mortimer 07-22-2008 09:23 AM

Uncly is steaming from the nostrils at me.

She's trying to compose herself and launch a counter attack.







Let's see how she handles it.

Should be fun.

No offense on the "dumbocrat" thing it just what I've been calling them since I was like 14 LOL... can you tell I have republican parents?

I really wish that we could have a political party that really understood and cared about the american people.. not just personal greed and power. 99% of the politicians out there are Sh-itheads. I cant stand how everything is either "right or left" there has to be a correct stance on certain issues and it it really sad how people these days cant have their own views, they have to go with there party's thoughts!

Until that happens I'm just going to vote for the person who will keep taxes the lowest... and stay far far away from socialized medicine (believe me, it would be horrible). I just cant and will never agree with the belief to steal more from hard working people and give the money to lazy a$$es. People who really need help, thats cool I'm more than fine to help.. but rewarding people who do not deserve it really pisses me off!

I'm really scared about what Obama could do with this Middle East situation.. the man just has zero experience to deal with this... I mean 4 years ago he just in the Illinios State Government.... thats like nothing! He has not been around long enough for me to be comfortable with decisions he could make. Maybe 12 years from now but who knows!

maybe that wouldnt be such a bad thing!!

but Obama is a Christian and I'm not concerned with his name, religion, etc. I'm big about seperation of Church and State (one of the things I dont like about the Repubs). I'm concerned with Obama's Politics.
