      So in other words, if I made money I would not be able to get the same tax advantages as someone who is not as fortunate as me? The successful would be penalized to pay more taxes just because they are successful? What a bunch of hypocritical low lifes. Vote Republican!

        If you benefit more from the system, you should pay more back into it.

    The Kennedy tax cut.

    http://www.heritage.org/Research/Taxes/bg1765.cfm

    About half way through the article.

    "President Kennedy proposed massive tax-rate reductions, which were passed by Congress and became law after he was assassinated. The 1964 tax cut reduced the top marginal personal income tax rate from 91 percent to 70 percent by 1965. The cut reduced lower-bracket rates as well. In the four years prior to the 1965 tax-rate cuts, federal government income tax revenue--adjusted for inflation--increased at an average annual rate of 2.1 percent, while total government income tax revenue (federal plus state and local) increased by 2.6 percent per year . In the four years following the tax cut, federal government income tax revenue increased by 8.6 percent annually and total government income tax revenue increased by 9.0 percent annually. Government income tax revenue not only increased in the years following the tax cut, it increased at a much faster rate.
    The Kennedy tax cut set the example that President Ronald Reagan would follow some 17 years later. By increasing incentives to work, produce, and invest, real GDP growth increased in the years following the tax cuts: More people worked, and the tax base expanded. Additionally, the expenditure side of the budget benefited as well because the unemployment rate was significantly reduced.
    Using the Congressional Budget Office's revenue forecasts (made with the full knowledge of the future tax cuts), revenues came in much higher than had been anticipated, even after the "cost""of the tax cut had been taken into account. Additionally, in 1965--one year following the tax cut--personal income tax revenue data exceeded expectations by the greatest amounts in the highest income classes.
    Testifying before Congress in 1977, Walter Heller, President Kenned''s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, summarized:
    What happened to the tax cut in 1965 is difficult to pin down, but insofar as we are able to isolate it, it did seem to have a tremendously stimulative effect, a multiplied effect on the economy. It was the major factor that led to our running a $3 billion surplus by the middle of 1965 before escalation in Vietnam struck us. It was a $12 billion tax cut, which would be about $33 or $34 billion in today's terms, and within one year the revenues into the Federal Treasury were already above what they had been before the tax cut.
    Did the tax cut pay for itself in increased revenues? I think the evidence is very strong that it did."

  • Posted By: stillwerise @ 10/27/2008 12:31:13 AM

    What part of "if you make less than 250,000, your taxes will decrease" do you NOT understand.?
    All that is happening is the tax cut for the wealthy that McCain opposed in 2001 are now being rolled back to Clinton era levels... that 's it . that's all. nothing more. But if you are too stupid to get your money back from the people who don't need it, and didn't ask for it, that's on you. No amount of spin, and disinformation, and name-calling, and fear mongering (see "socialist") is gonna keep me from understing that the middle class has been waged war upon by the facist right of the republican party while they had single party control for 6 of the last 7.5 years.

    • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 10/27/2008 9:27:32 AM

      So you are saying that just because people make more than 250K they should be responsible for the social programs of the Democrats as well as what I pay for being a single person making less than 250K? What a "hooey" idea. And our elderly will pay even more under the dems new tax increases I am experiencing now. I am having to explain the governments decision to make them pay for their part a and part b the states were paying. Wow some change. This coming from the party which states they want to help the people. Bull***t.

      Actually, his poll numbers are gaining, as is his projected electoral votes.

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008






    Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

      I've seen this BS posted repeatedly elsewhere - obviously the work of ObamaCentral. Nice. Wonder what they'd be like in government.

      • Posted By: Doc Howl @ 10/30/2008 9:57:23 AM

        "Bush isn't standing in this election"

        McCain has voted along with Bush's agenda 95% of the time. He may as well be Bush.

    Calling Obama a Socialist is similar to calling him a communist.

  • Posted By: Chuck Goodman @ 10/27/2008 12:07:41 PM

    Duh, it is not old info. It is happening right now???Today!!!
    Worry about the economy can be summed up with taking a true look at who the main players are in everything going bad.
    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have kept none of the promises they made prior to the Democrates taking over the leadership of the House and Senate. They are failed leaders who are solely responsible for the economic crisis we are in. They and they alone have done nothing, nothing, nothing to prevent the woes of the United States economy. Let us set the record straight. President Bush does not get the laws passed that could have prevented this mess. The Senate and House should have. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are the most useless do nothing leaders we have had in those positions. Where are folks like Tip O???neil when you need them. The American citizenery should demand the resignation on both Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Or, should I say Nasty Nancy and Horrible Harry. They both are a disgrace to our Country.

    • Posted By: Yuseff @ 10/29/2008 12:50:12 PM

      It is hard to do anything when you have a President who vetoes every move you make or a Senate minority who threatens a filibuster 10 times a day. Thats why we need a Democrat in the White House and a 60+ majority in the Senat and House. Let the days of Republican gridlock end.

  • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 10/27/2008 11:05:17 PM

    Most every united States citizen wants a united America. Everyone wants whats best for America.
    Lets go to the war lines. Obama will be the commander in chief who will not honor the flag. He could care less about our flag. Why did Betsy Ross even bother? Francis Scott Key why did he even bother to write the Star Spangled Banner we have honored all these years? Why did we even bother to fight for states under the premise of one nation under God? Will the flag mean nothing? Will our new commander in chief put our children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, etc. in harms way and tell them to stop believing in God? The bible will mean nothing. So how will he honor our military men who believe in One Nation Under God? Can aethiest run this country? Will the White House stop celebrating Christmas? Will we be a cold country? Will we even have the structure that many countries envied us for? Will the churches finally lose their tax status? Wow, I guess all these will be answered in the first 100 days then in two years when America wakes up from the hangover they will put Republicans in control of the house and senate. God Bless America and God help us because Obama does believe in a God I just don't think its the traditional one.

  • Posted By: willnotvoteobama @ 10/29/2008 6:45:54 AM


    'Twas the night before elections

    And all through the town

    Tempers were flaring

    Emotions all up and down!



    I, in my bathrobe

    With a cat in my lap

    Had cut off the TV

    Tired of political crap.



    When all of a sudden

    There arose such a noise

    I peered out of my window

    Saw Obama and his boys



    They had come for my wallet

    They wanted my pay

    To give to the others

    Who had not worked a day!



    He snatched up my money

    And quick as a wink

    Jumped back on his bandwagon

    As I gagged from the stink



    He then rallied his henchmen

    Who were pulling his cart

    I could tell they were out

    To tear my country apart!



    ' On Fannie, on Freddie,

    On Biden and Ayers!

    On Acorn, On Pelosi'

    He screamed at the pairs!



    They took off for his cause

    And as he flew out of sight

    I heard him laugh at the nation

    Who wouldn't stand up and fight!



    So I leave you to think

    On this one final note-

    IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM

    GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

    It's sad that McCain/Pain feel they have to lie to win a campaign. All liers shall have their place in the lake of fire. Saying you're a Christian does not make you a Christian. If the Holy Spirit truely dwells in you, you would not in clear conscience support a campaign that is for the most part based on lies -- shame on the religious right.

    Here's a video in which Obama discusses fiscal responsibility. Anyone who cares about the economy should see it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo

    On this web page, you can calculate the amount of your TAX RELIEF under Obama's plan (This tax calculator is for personal income, not for businesses. Remember that if you itemize, your tax cut will be higher than what the calculator shows. However, Obama's new 1040EZ allows people to get credit for some itemizations without having to fill out the long form and schedules.)

    You can get even more information on Obama's economic policies from the Blueprint for Change.

    Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

    And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.

    You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.
