Obama Taxes... Will The Faithful Supporters Rethink Once They Know??

Discussion in 'Politics' started by gnome, Aug 25, 2008.

  1. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    Admit it, gnome, you and the missy aren't going because you're both afraid you might spontaneously convert. (And even in the worst case, just imagine how much leaner you'd look.)

    :D

  2. Gnome will say/post anything to get Mccain elected. Obama wants to tax those making more than $250.000, and he obviously makes much more than that.

    I have no sympathy for people like him. They have had a free ride for many years.

  3. I know quite a few people who make more than 250k and have decided to vote for Obama.

    I'm still writing Ron Paul in on the ballot. I know my vote won't count, but I need to rebel against the system in my own small way.

    noting all the Obama fans on this site I quess means there are very few successful traders making 250K plus

  5. That doesn't prove anything.Warren Buffet and George Soros both support Obama

    Many Multi Millionaires support Obama

  6. Surely you know that your rebellion will fall on deaf ears, and your ballot will simply be ignored. This may in turn contribute in a small way to the election of your less preferred candidate, whoever that might be. There is a time for idealism and a time for pragmatism. I'm not sure that writing poetry on your ballot is a well-chosen effort. But you already know this.

  9. I find Mccain scarier.I can see another country pissing off Mad Man McCain and him staring wars that will start another draft, kill millions,bankrupt the US,and even destroy the US .It is very possible under McCain

    All words from McCain's mouth

    "Theres going to be more wars"

    "bomb,bomb,bomb Iran"

    "I know how to handle the Iranians,and I will handle them"

    "Were going to be in Iraq for the rest of this century"

    "I'm sorry to tell you we are going to be in farther wars"

    "We might be in Iraq a 100 years,its fine with me i hope its fine with you"

    "We are in 2 wars today fighting and there are other places we may have too"

    To The people in this crowd,I'm going to be asking you to serve"

    "Theres going to be more wars,theres going to be more wars"

  10. 1. Most of the "pro-Obama' voices on ET are not even American.

    2. Since 1964 no Democrat candidate for Prez has carried the white male vote. Don't be fooled into thinking that opposition to Obama is based on racism.

    3. The bottom 39% of American wage earners already pay ZERO in Federal income taxes. Therefore Obama offers no "tax cut" to lower income wage earners.

    4. None of these posted articles even MENTIONS Obama's plan to hike the payroll tax limit. As of now self-employment tax is capped on income up to 102k. Under Obama's plan those making over 250k would pay the tax on ALL their income. The inclusion of this tax will actually result in those making a quart or more a year into around a 55% effective bracket. NOW throw in your property taxes and state taxes on top of Federal and you're in a Communist country.

    5. Because 39% of wage earners already pay NOTHING it will be increasingly difficult for tax payers to win the class warfare fight at the ballot box.

    6. Obama will SPEND the additional revenue. Obama has no plans to CUT military spending but envisions spending increases for most everything domestic. Keep in mind that the month Obama was sworn into the Senate his wife received a 300% raise from the Univ of Illinois Hospital. (she makes $316,000 a year in PUBLIC money) Obama is ALL ABOUT increasing wages for already over compensated public employees. While you SERF on behalf of big brother government employees retire on pensions of up to 80% of their last paycheck.

    Welcome to the U.S.S.R where those working for the STATE prosper and the rest SLAVE to those in government.

    7. When the economy rebels even further at the prospect of Sen. Change coupled with a Dem majority Congress the left will reinstate the Draft. Why? To get unemployed minorities on the public dole. The draft will be "sold" as a method to get whites to also join the service. We will need the draft. The moment Obama makes good on his promise to enter Pakistan under the guise of capturing Al Queda the Pakistanis will GO BESERK. This new Obama war will make Iraq look like a tame street fight.
