The Whoppers of 2008—The Sequel

Our nation was founded on the separation of church and state. Many of our forefathers were not religious people and many were. In their wisdom, they were very clear about separation of church and state. So please quit saying it was founded on religion. If that had been the case, we probably would not have had slavery at that time.

In terms of nominal dollars to earnings, ability to pay, the tax system is regressive to much of the working class, including a 40k/yr laborer; and those workers directly subsidize their employer with after-tax investments in transportation, intellectual property and materials for production. The progressive tax system at the top end produces more nominal dollars but the income is gained at the greater benefit of externalities, extended over the population at large; and a significant percentage of legal-individuals pay no tax at all.

But the worst tax imposed on the working class is the unchecked printing of currency and infinite credit, which inflates value of necessary goods and services and deflates cost of means of production; i.e., changing the index of national production to include harmful and negative transactions, while eliminating or discounting basic costs of civilized living.

As present economic disaster is pegged at specific wrong-doing, the institutional economic flaws are continuing, even exaggerated, as the working-class rewards from progressively greater production are skimmed to bolster the error-costs of overhead.
The hard-working parents are defeated; the children see no future??? alternative economies of barter, exchange, and illicit business support more and more of the working class??? government loses its foundation tax base and restricts personal freedoms on the working class in a losing battle to protect the aristocracy, while undermining responsibilities assessed to externalities and social contract. Failure is certain.

You people trying to talk down Obama thinking that he doesn't want to make our nation strong and that he's a socialist, etc. just don't seem to understand. Almost everyone in America knows that we need change more than ever (but maybe those of you pro McCain people don???t see that)...and those of you who believe that Obama is a socialist or whatever are just ignorant people who feed off of the erratic, ???hip-shooting??? name calling by the McCain campaign. I'm sure if they started mentioning that Obama was from outer space, you guys would be so ignorant to believe that too. If some of you guys think that you will be punished for realizing the American dream under an Obama administration, that's just plain greed (and I suppose that is something I should expect from republicans)...and that kind of thinking isn't going to help America grow. What Obama is trying to do is give support to the masses, the ones who don't make $250k a year, the ones who are struggling to make ends meet...the middle class, which is the majority of the people in the US. Thinking our country will grow just from a few wealthy people getting more tax cuts, all the while suppressing and not helping the larger group of America's working force, is just backwards thinking. Just look at the last 8 years under the Bush administration, the proof is in the pudding! If the majority of people do not have money to spend because they are finding it difficult to just keep up with daily expenses like food, gas and their monthly bills, what else will fuel America's economy. You think a few wealthy people who decided to go out and buy a Maserati will change things and stimulate our economy? I'm not sure why it is that some people think McCain is a better choice for America over Obama...what could it be, a lack of common sense or just plain ignorance? Obama is an American, and I'd rather the world associate me as an American who is like him, rather than the likes of some of you who think you are the "real/pro Americans". Oh, and those of you who attack Obama solely on his loose associations to certain people, what about McCain?...same assertions could be made about McCain, for instance, with Gordon Liddy or Charles Keating. Unlike McCain, Obama chose not to heavily focus his campaign on negative far-fetched attacks....rather he wanted to focus on the real problems our country is currently facing. And McCain seems to insist that he knows exactly how to catch Bin Laden???if he knows how to, then how come he hasn???t shared his secret plan already. And what?...if he doesn???t become president, then he???s not going to share his plan at all?...please, geez! We are truly lucky to have someone like Obama come along (especially now), to help lead and steer our country in the right direction. All the nay-sayers of Obama out there, please grow up (and grow a brain while you???re at it), and get over any issues you may have that are holding you back from change.

I am sorry but any person who doesn't cover their heart with their hand for the national anthem and doesn't say the pledge of alligence just isn't AMERICAN enough for me. I was brought up to respect the land that I live in and to remember all those that have given me the right to live here. Our government was formed and is based on religon, you can't just pretend in God We Trust . There is far too many questions in my mind for it to be time to vote. There have been too many avoided issues by both canidates. I wonder will it be riots in the streets or war planes in the skies???

Obama is excellent in delivering speeches. His speeches compensates for his inability to provide leadership credentials. He used his community organizing skills in his campaign -- that's why Hillary never made it. He has foot soldiers to pump up his campaign. He will win the election because of this. This happened years ago in Germany, A leader rose with no experience except his acting skills and speeches. --And yes, he used the media to lure his victims. Another example is the previous Cuban "president" he also has a politican science degree-- did not have military expereince and executive experience as well- but then his country is more stable compared to any country in the world.-- And yes, he also gives great speeches and uses the media fto his advantage. Obama will be the next president because of american idiocracy.
-don't be fooled.

FORGIVE ME... EQUALS

Read Obama plans on health care,taxes, and education do not go on hear say. Read, Read and comprehend the plans. Do not blame the democrats for the failure of Bush policies. Republicians (Mc Cain and Palin) cannot disassociate themselves from President Bush. They went along with his policies and they fail and one wants to say I am not Mr. Bush but you still are a republician associiated bush policies and this economy mess. Mc Cain and Palin ,Republicans are spreading the message of divisiveness, separatism and racisim, enough is enough.

DISTORTED FACTS EQAULS FOOLISHNESS!!!
IGNORANCE STILL IS BLISS.
I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL NOV. 4TH!!!!
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL PREVAIL!!

I have yet to see Obama prove to me that he cares about this country. He cannot prove he is a cititzen. He will not pledge the flag nor will he stand by it so how can he govern it. It is not about race if Colin were running I would vote for him. This is about ignorance. What track record can you show me that makes him quakified.

Warren Buffett, an OBAMA adviser said, ???The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the U.S., and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly.??? This very smart man???s prediction will come true and unfortunately this very smart man can???t do anything to stop it. Rather he seems to be helping make his prophecy come true with his support of Obama. (Perhaps one can???t blame him because if America deteriorates, Buffet has lots to gain from his China investments) America will make history this election day - not only is it expected to pick its first African American President but it will on Nov 4 2008 create history by marking the day when American Greatness starts to collapse. So many around the world have echoed this same sentiment but most inward looking Americans are not heeding this. They are just overwhelmed with emotions about their savings and the stock markets and mortgages! I don???t blsme them but haven???t they heard of business cycles?

This hard economic time will eventually pass but America will never again see its past glory as the torch moves on to China. Yes it is true the economy has not been good these last two years but America and the world lived in a relatively safe world and times were good in at least 6 of the last 8 years! Obama???s rhetoric that the last 8 years were all bad is an outright lie. If the last 8 eight years were all bad, Bush would never have been reelected in 2004! The economy came apart in the last two years and many Democrats are as guilty as the Republicans for what happened.

On Nov 4, there will be dancing and singing on the streets- not only by the Democrats but by the Palestinians, Pakistanis, Syrians and their fellow brethen. Osama will also be dancing in his tent claiming victory that Americans have voted with their feet about the unpopular war and will embolden him in his next move.

There still are skeletons in the closet as far as Obama is concerned and Americans will find out the hard way. Today???s AP News reported that Obama???s aunt is in the US illegally ??? so what would President Obama do? Grant her amnesty or send her back? If he grants her amnesty is he going to do so for the estimated ten million who are in the same situation? If the past is a predictor of the future, then it is likely that more such stories will come to light about Obama???s other friends and relatives that we have not yet heard about to this day.

You present the idea that a 62% federal and state income tax no big deal, this tax payer also pays real estate tax, and sales taxes putting the total at around 70%. 70% is confiscatory in anyone???s world. If you also factor in that the payer is getting the short end of the stick on Social Security, Medicare, probably works for a small business that is a job creator, and works 60 hours a week, reinvests in their business and also contributes US based capital generation. These are probably not the people who one would like to reduce their savings rate and discourage. If we have no savers in this country where will the capital come from to power the investment the economy requires for future growth?

I'm frightened by all the people who are scared automatically by Muslims. I'm disturbed that some people will trust another human being just because they say they're a Christian. "Foreign" has become synonymous with "terrorist" in some peoples minds. I think they just want to distract themselves from the fact that there are so many school shootings in America by young white kids (not that white is the only color of snipings) and they want to get mad at someone else.
