Oh now you've gone off on a tangent.....LOL

Yes the economy does effect employment levels....minor changes in tax rates do not.

A 15-20% increase doesn't seem very minor.

It's not that much it's 11.5% in total for the top tax brackets.

The bush tax cut alone was 12% or more which he will let expire. Then he's going to add taxes onto that. And the last I heard is he bumped it down to 200,000 instead of 250,000.

Hmmmm I am pretty sure he said that Wright was his "mentor". Nice, that is the kind of mentoring I don't want running the country.

These are quotes from HIS book. Sorry but not the guy I want in charge.

The man is a fake and a fraud. He went to a Church where he KNEW what was being spewed and stayed. This shows me the true Obama not the one with his best foot forward NOW that he is running but what he did and who he associated with BEFORE he was running.

I used to be mad about this increased tax for anyone making over $250k...until I realized that the stronger are always going to have to look after the weaker. That is just our role in society.

First off, there is no "National Healthcare plan", and all that other crap you smear.

Obama proposes a national, government-sponsored health plan from which small businesses and individuals could buy insurance featuring benefits and coverage similar to those in the plan now enjoyed by members of Congress. It would be sold through a National Health Insurance Exchange that would act as both a market and a regulatory agency

Either that or it will cause more irresponsible and haphazard breeding. One never knows.

Really? Hmmmm well what if I look after my family and friends why is that not good enough? Why am I required to give my money to people I do not know?
