[quote=Antitrust32]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.
Lori currently under law (signed by William Jefferson Clinton) the first 250,000 in capital gains on your Primary residence is tax free (500k if you are married and file jointly). Do you know if Obama has said that he wants to get rid of this exclusion or does he just want to raise the rate from 15% to 28% on profits over the 250k for singles and 500k for couples? any info would be appreciated
