The jargon is rigged to look good for Obama either way. Has anyone got one that says McCain will refund this or that? Nope. There are only two outcomes, Obama gives you a refund or McCain will tax you more. It's a crock.

I'm sorry are you playing the sympathy card because you actually may have to contribute to society? You ***** and moan about heavier CG taxation yet fail to realize that 70% of the people in this country don't have enough income to invest and be taxed by CG taxation....waaaaa, waaaa, we all feel sooooo sorry for you.

Not when people such as Obama want to steal it from me and then give to people who didn't earn it.

The top 5% of tax payers pay more than 50% of the revenues.

The low wage earners should be paying more of their own freight.

Yeah, I feel for you. Actually I don't really care if I personally get a tax cut, I am not poor and I am able to pay for what I need. I am more interested in us paying off our debt and investing in our future. If I do get anything back I'll donate it to the "rich guys who cry over paying their fair share" charity.

They should, the top 5% likely earn more than the bottom 30% combined.

That's irrelevant. Why should people who've been more successfull be penalized more just because they earn more?

I don't know about you, but my parents always told me to not accept anything I didn't pay for, and all you people celebrating that you're getting money back under Obama are just taking it from others. Thievery.

And the website is run by AlchemyToday and when the obamataxcut.com was proclaimed as possibly inaccurate, they of course blamed McCain.

It's not irrelevant, its a measured way to collect taxes need to pay for services in an equitable way. It's relative, that's why they call it income tax and not pay your share tax. So by your logic I shouldn't have to pay Social Security tax because after all I'm not using it.

All of societies ills begin at home...this country could likely save billions if parents just got off their fat lazy cans and put effort in to raising their children to be effective contributors in society but since we've become a country of lazy whiny what have you done for me lately's it will take an entire movement to fix the problem...McCain is incapable of championing that movement.
