it is really sad.
How funny. Don't you think that many people in here lost money in the stock market after its fall like so many in the country? Why is it that you would assume that someone makes less money that some of you do? It makes no sense why it is that so many in this forum feel the need to constantly put others down. That is called insecurity and you need help.

I never assumed anybody makes less money than I do. I just said, it is most likely most people on this board are not making over 250,000. Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Do you feel a need to attack me?

I am sorry, but I wasn't trying to attack you. I was just stating that it seemed as if you were trying to say that most people were n=making less money than others. It read as if to be elitist. if not, then I apologize. Some of us are doing quite well, myself that is. I am ok and if I losrt my job right now, I would be ok. Of course, I do won my own business and my business works with other countries.

We must not question The One! We must not probe his socialistic ideology. And if we do, we will be duly tarred and feathered, our complete history and sordid past will be unearthed, out lives will be destroyed by the Obama-media.

Nice deflection.

"Spread the Wealth" - that's all that matters.
We're not talking about Bush here. We're talking about McCain and his fumbles.

Any particular reason why "we want to share the wealth" Obama and his supporters haven't already been paying more in taxes to share their wealth? No one's stopping them.

Warren Buffett comes to mind... He doesn't pay more than he has to, but claims he should be paying more. So, why doesn't he?

Obama lives in a million dollar plus home. He doesn't need that, no one does. Why don't he and his wife pay more taxes, or donate much more to charity if they believe so much in sharing the wealth?

They don't walk the walk - they'll only pay more if everyone else has to, too. If they truly believed in sharing the wealth, they'd already be living their lives that way. But, they don't. It's all just talk to fool the gullible into voting for them.

Can anyone say pandering HYPOCRITE?

which means he's the good kind to hire, since you won't have 2 or 3 other guys standing around doing nothing at $50 per hour.

If you pay more taxes than what is owed on your return, you're almost certain to get an IRS audit. That might be why.
