Which candidate is mostly concerned with people making $250,000 or more a year?

JOHN MCCAIN

Which candidate is mostly concerned with the middle class?

BARACK OBAMA!!!

Obama is a good man, a family man. And not having married into money, he has some idea of how hard things are for the middle class right now.

Real wages for middle class families have ACTUALLY GONE DOWN during the last 7.5 years.

We need a break. We need Barack Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama II for president! Time for real Change!

what a misrepresentation of the facts. Sen. McCain's tax credit means if you buy health insurance, you will be taxed as if your income was lower by what you paid for the insurance. Sen. Obama's plan is if you don't earn enough to write a check to the IRS, the IRS will write you a check.

Who thinks health insurance companies should be regulated by a friendly state of their own choosing, simply by reincorporating there?

JOHN MCCAIN

Good luck appealing to the state of Texas when you health insurance company says your cancer is not covered.

Good luck finding another health insurance plan once you get cancer!

Obamacrat,

What you said has no connection whatsoever to reality.

If you get employer supplied health insurance, YOU WILL NOW PAY taxes on the value of this benefit.

If you LOSE your health insurance, you get to negotiate WITHOUT THE BUYING POWER your employer had. You are on your own!

McCain's tax credit is a 'refundable tax credit' EXACTLY in the same sense as Obama's

Mc bush's policies are already done at least for the last 14 years Look at your tax booklets and read it. I am tired of my tax dollars going to Iraq at least with obamas tax and spend (Mcbush theory) the money will go here not over there roads, bridges, education, jobs, energy, environmental protection come on people wake up.and remember Mcbush wants to stay in Iraq until we (WIN)

I agree with Sen. McCain. If you're afraid of insurance companies incorporated in states of lax regulations, just don't buy your health insurance from them. Right now, if your employer buys you health insurance, no one gets taxed, but if he gives you the cash to buy health insurance, you get taxed for it. Why should you be chained to your employer like that? True, the Wal-Marts and Microsofts can negotiate better deals, but we don't all work for Wal-Marts and Microsofts. Employer health care is a thinly veiled mechanism to keep poor working Americans chained to big employers; it prevents them from working for small businesses and it prevents them from starting their own small businesses.

Clintonite,

When the same change was made to credit cards (in 1978), ALL of the credit card companies reincorportated in Delaware (irony, I know) and South Dakota.

Just like health insurance companies, they can operate from any state, so of course the ALL when to the two states that HAD NO RULES regarding max interest rate, penalties, etc.

So when ALL of the insurance companies move to industry friendly Oklahoma, AND you find out that the rules have changed so that all disputes go to industry sponsored arbitration -- that just happens to rule for the insurance companies 98% of the time -- GOOD LUCK!

Read this news from the New York Times. I know that the pubs will say ya look where it came from the liberal rag.

Quoted from the NYT Oct. 16, 2008.
"House investigative committee presented documents to the Pentagon on Thursday charging that a top Republican fund-raiser, Harry Sargeant III, made tens of millions of dollars in profits over the last four years because his contracting company vastly overcharged for deliveries of fuel to American air bases in Iraq.

In a written statement on Thursday, a lawyer for Mr. Sargeant, who is the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a major fund-raiser for Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, called the allegations “deeply disappointing” and asserted that they were not supported by the facts."

Under McCain's proposal his tax return will be enormous.

Simply stated-the ad is full of intentional misstatements of fact. I'm sick of this tactic. There is a commandment regarding "bearing false witness". I thought Republicans were the party of "values".

Does everyone realize there are four choices in this election?

You can vote:

For McCain – McCain is the best candidate in this election and deserves to be elected.
Against Obama – Where this might seem as a vote for McCain; its really not, it is a vote to keep Obama from being elected; no matter who the other candidate is.
For Obama – Obama is the best candidate in this election and deserves to be elected.
Against McCain – again this might seem like for Obama but it really isnt.

Interesting results so far..

Interesting to see interest in Sen. Obama's tax plan. The plan cuts taxes for individuals that don't make $240,000, exempts small businesses, and exempts organizations that create jobs, in the USA. That is a lot of exemptions, wonder who will pay for all those exemptions? I also wonder about the thousands of non-profit companies that exist, they are tax exempt but provide lots of jobs and essential services within our country. Are they out of luck or is that another exempt segment?

Hope we don't run out of rich people to tax before we get all the exemptions covered.

By the way, is one of the tax loopholes that will be closed the one that allows deductions for gifts to charitable organizations? Anyone here know how much the annual contributions to charitable organization is, or from who the vast majority of it comes? Who will provide the services that organizations like the Savaltion Army, Red Cross, food banks, and homeless shelters do if their sources of contributions are significantly reduced or dry up?

I don't care who's tax plan it is or how they package it, the top 5% or the bottom 20% isn't going to pay the necessary taxes to run this country. Its us inbetween those numbers that has always, and will always, pay the taxes. That is just matamatics. Anyone that tells you different is blowing smoke.

Joe the Plummer represents the ignorance of the Republican party..

CLEARLY BY FAR Obama's plan is better for him if he were a plummer opening a business.

This guy is a joke who was made famous by a geezer that would look for anything to pull his campaign of this tailspin.

Good luck jerk..... you have two more week of fame.

John McCain's conscience:

You do not know that there is no cure for cancer. The insurance companies know that cancer can only be put in remission. In fact, chemotherapy kills more people than cancer. Chemo is toxic substances that destroy the digestive system and the immune system. If you had extensive chemotherapy, you will die from the chemo. A doctor will never claim to cure cancer. If he does say your cancer is cured, report the doctor to the AMA.

I looked at Obama’s national healthcare program and there is a mention of subsidies without the mention of where the subsidies originate. That sound like socialized medicine and socialized medicine is worse than the healthcare we now have. I looked at Canada and use the reference from

http://www.theadvocates.org/freeman/8903lemi.html

and you can have that if you want. I have friends in England that tell me their healthcare is about as bad as Canada. I really do not care what you choose because I have all the coverage I need and it is free. I reference

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/23/history-proves-many-doctors-recommendations-are-disasters.aspx?source=nl

for all my medical needs. There is many things you can do to have a happy healthy life.

I see Harry Sargeant III as a shrewd businessman that has capitalized on the needs of the current times. I do not see Harry Sargeant III as a terrorist, or a person wiping his feet on the American flag, or as a man blowing people and buildings into the sky. If you do not like Harry Sargeant III, that is too bad. I do not see any allegations of wrongdoing or any prima facie evidence that he is anti-American or a terrorist.

On the other hand, Barack Obama does not like his full name said or published. There must be a reason, I guess.

Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama’s campaign, has tax liens. So do his companies.

You’d think that matters more than the tax liens of Joe the Plumber, wouldn’t you? But good luck finding a Big Media story about Nesbitt’s liens.

All refundable credits are welfare.

Clinton invented new definitions:

Tax Breaks for Poor = Larger Refundable Credits increasing the NEGATIVE income tax payments received by poor through Additional Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. Do the math if you’re single with two children, and have ZERO income, a simple lie that you have $12k self employment income (doing nothing all day) will get you a sweet government CHECK for THOUSANDS of DOLLARS during tax season. Not a refund of withholding or estimated payments you made, but a CHECK, written with funds confiscated from your hard working neighbor. You will even accrue some social security credit by paying Self Employment Tax with your neighbors cash.

Corporate Welfare = Confiscating less of a business’s profit and capital.
