A lot of money. That is what every working American stands to lose under an OBAMA administration. Wait, you'll see.

So, please don't flatter yourself. I never was seeking approval from you...

Hmm, I never I said I made about 70K. If you read my post, you would catch the Biden reference & a light bulb would go off in your brain. I own my own business + work for a large company. My spouse also has a side business and works for the State.
Based on your posts, you appear to make 40-50K. One thing remains the same - we are both going to give more of our hard earned money away to Obama.

I am sorry, I confused the post, and thought you make 70k. Either way, no I don't make 40-50K, and if I did it is irrelevant...

This is where you said making little money- (so much so that you don't qualify to pay taxes) makes you a non-performer. Making little money doesn't make you lazy.

Well, not knowing what you make I will say this. If you make less than 40K, I'm not sure what your tax burden will be.

moinfire - this is what I said. "Not first time non-performers, but chronic non-performers." Chronic non-performers - yes if you aren't paying taxes then I say "no rebate for you!!" You can quote me on that. The people I am thinking about are lazy. That is not the person at McDonalds making $8.00/hr & trying to earn a living. I mean the bum watching Jerry Springer & living off his kid's SSI.

hmmm, I didn't say I make less than 40K-50K either...

Either way those who make 100K- 200K make less than 5%. So the majority of americans will not get a high tax rate....

But why does this bother you??? They are a small minority. Most americans don't receive income assistance, food stamps or the like....

The majority of poor people work...
