Can you not read? Do you not comprehend?

"Independent analyses of the presidential candidates’ tax proposals show that those who make less than $250,000 a year would not see their taxes raised under Senator Barack Obama’s plans. Further, Mr. Obama would generally cut taxes more than Senator John McCain would for households with incomes less than $100,000 a year. "



and that is a quote from your link.


Difference? Cutting taxes verses not raising them....

Are you referring to me *Danielle*?

There is another thread just like this where the upper threshold for the tax CUT was $120k.

So which is it? $100k or $120k?

I treat his website like a virus. My firewall will not let me view it.

They sure did say it. In Some states like NJ you need more than $100,000 to survive, more like $200,000.
Someone said last night in a cruise chat I was in that she had no problem getting taxed higher. She is rich, and by rich I mean Millions. She also said in the same sentence that her accountant knows all the Loopholes to get more deductions. I bet I pay more than her, and I don't have millions.
I don't fool around with Funny Math. I pay my share, and I don't want to pay someone elses besides. I already am. I help my son, as there is no way he could make it on what he makes. Does he expect a Handout from You? No. because that is how he was brought up.
He has a Job in NJ but if he could find a losey Customer Service Job here in Nashville his life would be better, hopefully he will soon. We could then send him back to college.
