Ok, all yall Obama fans. If yall are so convinced that we will be better off with him, bring it on.
So I should see the end to this Registered Nurse having to owe the IRS over $5000 every year (and no I am not talking about taxes deducted out of my paycheck, I am talkin' bout what is the BILL DUE after I file taxes). I finally wont be penalized for being a hard worker and choosing not to procreate? I haven't seen a tax refund in 15 years or so, so I am looking forward to my first one next year. HA!
So I should not have to pay over $400/month just to have health insurance any more? And I will be able to finally have the surgeries that I can't afford, because my plan only covers 80%? I will have that wonderful same plan as our congressmen, according to Obama. I am sure our congressmen aren't having to dish out over 3K for some major surgery because their plan only covers 80% of a common medically-necessary surgery. So I won't either. Yeehaw.
So, I should be able to finally afford my own home again, because I will be so much better off financially? I will finally have the American dream and everything Obama has promised me.
Bring it on. I am waiting.
I can just about bet on one thing. If, God forbid, we have Obama as our President and Commander in Chief, that one year from now, I will be reporting back that my financial situation has turned for the worse. Mark my words. (But believe me, if you prove me wrong, I am sure I will be HAPPY).

Reason: add
Although it's terrible risky and stupid, I'm at the point of telling my dem friends they can have Obama and what he plans to bring to this country. Just don't whine to me when your money continues to disappear. If it doesn't, I'll be the first to apologize and say, "Wow, I'm amazed; he's doing a good job."

Firts off,all of your woes you detail have come about under 8 years of a Rep President who squandered hundreds of billions of your tax dollars in a personal feud with Saddam.Yet we hear no complaining about this.
Second,it may get worse.The bad times caused by 8 years of reckless spending are just now upon us.It is unlikely that Obama has a magic wand to wave and make it go away.But it is doubtful that people like you will give him time.You ,as you have said,will be back here in one year saying how much he s*cks if you haven't gotten a raise and own your own home.The fact that it may be leftover problems from the current President's 8 year rule will not be looked into too deeply.It will just be all Obama's fault.
Third,I am not saying any of what I have said here as an Obama supporter.I have no idea yet who I will vote for.I see good and bad in both,and will weigh all of that until the final day.But I'm not one of the few Republicans who still hold onto the fairy tale that GWB is a good President.He's not,and either McCain or Obama will be a marked improvement over him.I'm also just not silly and naive enough to buy into all the anti Obama drivel being posted all over the net by panicked conservatives seeing their rule ending.For example,Palin talks about Obama "palling around" with terrorists" (Ayers).Does anyone here who repeats this actually know the relationship between Obama and Ayers?Here it is.They both served on the governing boards of a nonprofit organization and Obama was once introduced to Ayers.Whhhooooo! Big time stuff here.And yet conservatives still to this day try to use this fact as proof that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer.Only very silly and childish people believe these things and keep repeating them.

"Great dont say anything to muah then The reason why I say it is because Ive been in convo with people on who there voting for and why so miss me with the that, good evening. "
I think what this is trying to say is:
"Great.Don't say anything to me then (muah being the attempted spelling of the French moi?,or me?).The reason why I say this is because I have been in conversation with people on who are they are voting for and why.So miss me (don't post to me?) with that.Good evening."
Life is about to get a whole lot tougher and you standard of living is going down the tubes regardless of which one of these illuminati puppets gets elected. The last president that tried to put an end to the real reason for the declining middle class was Kennedy, and we all know what happened to him. The puppeteers yanked him out of the show. The redistribution of wealth from the people to the international banking cartel has been underway since the passage of the federal reserve act. Both candidates supported the 700 billion bail out, would love to give the Fed more power, and pay for it through inflation.

First, I am not a fan of either candidate, so I won't try to convince you on either one. I am only going to comment about your tax bill paragraph above.
Due to my current job and my pension (that is taxed), I have to pay higher taxes. And now, my wife started getting Social Security, so 85% of that meager amount is going ON TOP of my income to be taxed at a higher rate. So, what does this have to do with you? Due to my higher taxes, I withhold at the single rate plus withhold more out of my pension each month to cover the yearly tax bill. So, if you have to pay an extra $5,000 every year, you should be having it withheld monthly, or pay quarterly estimated taxes. By the way, being single is a lot cheaper than being married and the kids are gone when there is only one person working. We never had Earned Income or Child Tax Credits. So your complaint about the tax difference doesn't fly with me.
no kids. no mortgage, no write-offs. and yes i have extra withheld.
