Tonight Barack Obama said he will not raise taxes for all Americans making less than $200,000 a year.

How does Obama plan on paying the additional $845 BILLION DOLLARS he wants to give the United Nations for the world's poor, outside the U.S. He calls this bill, before the United States Senate, the Global Poverty Act.

This $845 billion has to come from some where... Obama's already going to tax America's rich and Oil Companies for other projects of his.

Maybe from the 10 billion we will save being in Iraq, or should the Iraqis continue making money hand over foot. Of course you wont respond to any posts that challenges your view as you have no logical response.

Ahh so your saying you don't care if your fellow Americans live in poverty. You would rather help Iraqis. If I made 250,00 a year fine take more money out of my check, maybe I am not a greedy self center person. My parents raised me to beilve we should try and help those who dont have as much as I do. Hell, lets stop toys for tots, I mean rich kids need all those toys.

Gee last week it was $250,000.00 early this year it was $300,000 and Biden said $150,000 a day or so ago.

At this speed by the time he takes office if he (God forbid) wins it'll be down to a buck, fifty nine.

*The Global Poverty Act passed out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on July 31, 2007 and was passed by a UNANIMOUS voice vote by the full House on September 25.

** The bill was passed by UNANIMOUS consent by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 13, 2008.

RESULTS: Global Poverty Act of 2007 Fact Sheet

Do you know what UNANIMOUS means?

So what does that tell you?

It's always been $250K households, $200K individuals.

But you all have fun believing what you want.

Now it's only 200K? Well that's better than Biden with his 150.
