3. Further look at the Schedule A deductions and the ceiling limits placed by our
government. In order to qualify for medical deductions you have to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
That is income from all sources less deductions allowed on the 1040, pg 1.
Consequently, if your adjusted gross income is $50,000.00 you have to spend more than $3,750.00 in order to receive a deduction. That deduction is for the amount over the $3,750.00. In other words if you spend $5000.00 you can only use $1250.00 on the schedule the schedule A since these deductions have to exceed the Standard deduction in order for it to be to the taxpayer???s advantage. The same thing applies to miscellaneous deductions (employee business expense, etc.) using a 2%

4. Also, let me point out that people that make over $150,000.00 have limitations on deductions in many areas. Don???t be misled; they don???t have that many advantages. The itemized deductions are limited as well as losses on rental property and exemption amounts. No way can they claim the child care credit either. Obama conveniently throws stuff out there but doesn???t explain it.


5. Lets fix the system to help the average taxpayer; eliminate the marriage tax penalty. It applies to paying tax on social security benefits. Singles get a $25000.00 ceiling but married couples only get $35000.00. Each partner should be allowed $25000.00 which would be double what singles get.

6. Don???t be concerned about giving Corporations tax breaks. If we don???t do it they won???t expand and will not hire. Further, they will only pass the increases to us; the consumer. Incentives bring business to an area. In so doing, jobs are created and the tax base is increased, consequently, it helps to keep real estate taxes down.

I don't think Palin's religion is important to her political views or tactics. She has demonstrated this over and over. Therefore, I don't think is is appropriate to question her fatih. It is just a dangerous as when she and McCain and the RNC repeatedly suggested that Obama is Muslim. My response to that and to this is "So What?"

Hi People!

Anyone out there contemplating voting for Obama take heed. If you have already done so it is too late for you.

l. I suggest he ???spread some of his wealth around??? Maybe taking some of that 600M dollars he collected to buy the presidency and putting it back in my 401 K plan that has been losing money. The actions of the Democrats, especially Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi, in blocking legislation to help prevent the problems with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae directly contributed to the status of the economy. I blame them all for taking away our hard earned money that we saved over the last 50 years. I have been doing tax returns for my people for over 40 years and have more knowledge about tax law than any of the candidates. Well, if they know it they aren???t saying.

2. Lets look at the tax situation from the average taxpayer???s angle:
What is the earned income credit? This is a credit the Federal Government hands out to people that have very little earned income.
Now remember if you are self employed and have very little earnings you are limited to what counts toward the credit. It has to be ???earned income??? which is basically from a W-2 income.
Small business files a schedule C along with the 1040. Therefore, their income is not from W-2 income. From no other source counts toward this credit but if you get retirement, social security, interest income, etc. those figures are used against you. Therefore, you will be unable to claim this credit. This earned income credit is very complicated to figure but it can result in taxpayers getting funds from the government in the form of a check even if they paid in nothing. Is this not welfare?

I have attended a Pentecostal church my entire life. I believe that it is a very powerful thing to have someone who is a tongue talker in office. I think she is blessed and highly favored by God.

I concur with Bizet, this is just B.S. Why is it you waste so much time reporting on useless information when there is creditable news worthy information on both presidential candidates. Why are you not reporting on the truth about the Tax Issues. Both presidetial candidates has flaws in their proposals, do you lack the intelligence to write the trueth? Why is the left wing media failling to write about Obama's "exceptable relationships" with those that would like to see this country fail?? Lisa Miller and Andrew Murr lack honor, morality, respect for this country, and the courage to write the trueth about issues that really effect this courty. If you agree with me, remember these two names and never read anything they write again.

Palin The Wealth Spreader: Gov. Imposed Oil Windfall Profits Tax To Allow Alaskans To ???Share In The Wealth???

Props to Boutons for this info

"Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans ???share in the wealth??? generated by oil companies:
"And Alaska???we???re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it???s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. ??? It???s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans."
In fact, Alaska???s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) program, which manages the redistribution of oil wealth in Alaska, brings in so much money that the state needs no income or sales tax. In addition, this year ACES will provide every Alaskan with a check for an estimated $3,200."

This person is NOT SARAH PALIN! Looks close to her though. Nice try DEMOCRATES!

ANY form of religion is bad if it becomes extreme. And it should not be mixed into politics.

I fully expect that you should make your next article about Obama's long time pastor Jeremiah Wright. Prove you are not biased/

Its not people that make over 250,000 a year, its actually 150,000 and thats gross, not net. There is a lot of people that make that much that are self employed but by the time they pay everything to run their business they are not making much more than the average worker. Also, why are we so interested in someone who is only going to be vise president and not concentrating on Obama and his religious background?

correction *(have spread much more and more detrimental things about Obama than the left has about Mccain and Palin)

The author of this article should learn that, when writing about God and using His name; the first letter of God, Jesus, He, His, etc., is ALWAYS capitalized.
Did your editor NOT review the article prior to allowing it to "go to print"?
You should be reprimanded and go back to journalism 101.
