You may have less taxes taken out of your check, but you still owe it at the end of the year. It's not a tax cut, it's more of a deferment.

I don't think your posts could be more full of BS. You clearly said left-wingers ranting about taxes & big government is propaganda. Back up that statement & answer my question about when conservatives do it. Otherwise, your posts are just full of it as usual.

Actually no, the amount of taxes taken out has to do w/what your exceptions are. I claim the lowest therefore more taxes are taken out of my paychecks so I DON'T owe at the end of the year.

It's your post that are full of it! I said there are also liberals that rant about the same things even thought I understand that most liberals are one brained sheep. The propaganda I was refering to was saying Stack was a conservative when clearly he was not. Most of his rants were n line with liberals, who are becoming increasingly unhinged.

This may be above your head but I have a life and like many liberals I am not supported by mommie and daddy, and trolling the web on their dime. I post in between other useful activities.

I think it will be worse violence than what we avoided in 2000. IMHO, if Obama fails to be re-elected in a close race, we could see massive rioting like what happened with Rodney King in 1992 with gangs of inner city residents rampaging through the streets, fermented by Jeremiah Wright types. If the police beating of a single black criminal can cause days of violence and chaos, one can only wonder what happens if a self-identified black president and former radical community organizer fails to be re-elected, the anger that will be present in America's inner city communities. I live in Baltimore and am very wary of this and in my opinion alone, I think people living in or near major cities should all be concerned about this possibilty. There are also radical socialist, anarchist, and hippie organizations that may engage in violence, on a far larger level than what we see whenever the World Bank, the G8, or the IMF meets.

I don't think the same people who burned down Los Angeles in 1992 or who rampaged through Seattle during the WTO meetings will just sit at home and do nothing if their candidate is defeated, especially if the race is close and the victor is white. If it is Michael Steele or Bobby Jindal perhaps this MAY be avoided, and even then that would be a HUGE perhaps.
I would worry more if the Repugs lost in a close race. They tend to be MUCH more violent and pathetic if things don't go their way. Just look at the Brooks Brothers Riot that occurred when the Miami-Dade officials were recounting the votes in 2000. That's just one example.

I disagree. The left wingers are becoming more dangerous, more unhinged, more violent. So much so that even on CNN one of the commentators called for hussein obama to go Al Capone and gansta on people. Both are killers.
