The fact that we disagree on some topics in no way makes us enemies.

So using your argument, Obama is proposing a MAJOR failed policy, after all, isnt he claiming tax cuts for 95% of the public?

"Spread the wealth" is just a little mistake BHO made. He covers his tracks very well when speaking, but not always. He is in fact the most liberal Democrat in Congress, an all-out socialist. His background has in fact ties to communism. I know that you won't believe me, but at least find out who his mentor (Davis) was., and also, what Weather Underground stood for.

1. Look at his voting record in Congress

OMG!!!! wake up! he says that 95% of americans will get a tax cut. do you understand that 40% of that 95% don't even pay taxes. not only do they not pay taxes they get a return every year due to E.I.C (earned income credit) do you realize that they will now get MORE money every year. while people like me who do pay taxes and bust *ss to get above the poverty line will be paying more. tell me how that's fair. EQUAL and FAIR are 2 different things all together. equal does equate to socialism sorry!!! fair is what this country used to be all about. you work hard and it pays off. now, under obama you work hard and get less and others do nothing and get more. GET IT!!!!

Do you have a source for this drivvel? What Obama is saying that 95% of people who pay taxes will see a tax cut. That's called sharing the wealth and the burdens of this country together. If you have over $250,000, you definitely have a roof over your head, a warm house and food in your fridge. Not all Americans have these basics. When the middle class cant buy, then the economy suffers. That is why people who are literally struggling just to keep a roof over their heads because of the massive lay-offs since our wonderful Bush took office, rapid inflation, and the general inability to live off of the minimum wage (which McCain fought several times to not raise) even when working more than 50 hours per week, should have the opportunity to pay less taxes. Where has Obama said people who dont pay taxes will receive a tax rebate??

Why are you not concerned more about the $700 billion bailout anyway? Do you have any idea how much money that is? More than we've spent in Iraq to date. Do you not call buying stock in US banks socialism? Stop the hypocrisy already .

Obama is not Marxist or Socialist

Yes, he is most certainly a socialist and even joined the party at one time.

Checking facts: Will Obama raise small biz taxes? - Oct. 16, 2008

See? Nothing to fear. Only 2% of small businesses will see increased taxes.
