    Stop and think for a moment. Any of you really believe the democrats will keep the Bush Tax Cuts in place? No matter what either candidate says, congress under the controll of democrats will let those cuts expire, without renewal. They will expire in a few years. There will be no 10% rate, but go back to 15%. Most those now in the 15% rate will increase to 28%. 28% to 31%, 31% to 36%, etc. The only way to insure this won't happen is to put republicans back in control of the senate this election cycle. They learned their lesson in 2006, and they can be voted out again.

    Please consider that when you vote.

    Let's go with this noble approach:

    Let's just not pay taxes at all.

    That's what Joe The Plumber wants.
    That's what Wild Cobra and those of his ilk want.

    So, when our roads, schools, and social programs go to (of which we are all beneficiaries), we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    You're an idiot.

    I've considered the options and I'm voting for Barack. Please consider what happened during the Bush years and a republican congress. No thanks.

    If less taxes is the answer, then no taxes is WC's and pitbull 's "patriotic" nirvana.

    dubya's tax cuts have done wonders over 7 years for household income (stagnant, declining) and jobs, haven't they?

    WC is nothing but a walking talking-point shill for Repug scams to enrich the super-wealthy and the corps

    Exactly why I'd vote for McCain. Since the Dems will be in control of Congress, I'd rather have anything other than a Dem in the White House.

    The way things are going, the Dems will probably lose control of Congress within 6 years, though. You'd think the fact that Clinton went from Dem to Rep controlled Congress and Bush went from Rep to Dem controlled Congress would teach politicians the US wants moderates, but no, we keep getting people on the far side of their party (except McCain, though there are many other problemsn with him).

    Yea, because the 8 years of prosperity under Democrat Bill Clinton were so horrible when compared with the 8 years of disaster under Republican George W. Bush.

    I'd rather have a democrat in the Oval Office than another Bush and that is exactly what you'll get with McCain. Make no mistake about it.

    I can't imagine life without the Bush tax cuts. Then again, I'm only 6 years old.

    yeah, because comparing the term of a President who lost his Congress hold early and enjoyed the priviledge of a technology boom and no major conflicts to a President who had control of his congress through most of his term and presided over the worse economic crisis in decades early in his 1st term followed by 2 major conflicts is fair. (I could go on about how Clinton screwed up a crapload in economic policy that didn't hit for years, some of which still hasn't, but that's pointless).

    As a side note, 6 of his 8 years, Clinton had a Republican controlled congress. Legislative and Executive branches being forced to compromise coincided with economic success. Why shouldn't I want to force compromise again after that kind of success?

    Am I wrong, or has Obama gone silent on reducing the taxes for 95% of tax payers since he was elected?

    WC, Obama is having second thoughts on lots of things. The stuff hit the fan and
    it is going to be his game to try and fix it, along with Pelosi and Reid.

    If he listens to his economist I think he will keep things are they are and possibly
    cut taxes some. May be I live in a fantasy world. But he has got to do something
    to get the economy back on its feet.

    We finally found the carrot for these jackasses.

    Sometimes is always when the post is one of yours because they're always sometimes wrong.

    In other words, you're never sometimes right.

    I think the best thing he can do is nothing, except maybe government loans. No bailouts. They just prolong the agony.

    I always knew he would see things from a different perspective if he was elected. I just hope he is intelligent enough to forget his leftist promises, and change the policies he promised.

    Damn... I used the words hope and change again... It is contageous...

    So the tax cut for the 95% was a leftist promise.

    And had you been paying attention you would know what Obama is considering concerning taxes.

    WTF do you think bailouts are? This is why you're always wrong. God damn you're dumb.

    Thank you chump for your brilliant observation. It was a leftest promise.
    Many are wondering how he was going to do this feat, since about half
    that many pay any federal income tax.

    From which perspective are we suppose to "listen" to Obama concerning
    taxes. Since he has changed his stance several times.

    Obama is considering keeping the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy at least until the economy turns around, presumably because Keynesian orthodoxy discourages raising taxes in a recession.

    I think it is a leftist plot to butter us up.
