10/15/2008 10:34:16 PM

you "lose" money if obama is president don't you joe#?

10/15/2008 10:35:09 PM

they both claim to like clean coal, so i'm set either way!

10/15/2008 10:36:05 PM

Post pics of your girlfriend!

10/15/2008 10:36:13 PM

^^^ i dont think so, but i am against taxing the wealthy. it should be a flat percentage of income/whatever across the board.

10/15/2008 10:36:28 PM

i thought you made enough as to where you'd be taxed more under obama - not to mention your family

isn't 250k the cutoff point for obama? im nowhere near that.

10/15/2008 10:40:08 PM

(yet)

10/15/2008 10:41:20 PM

asshole.

10/15/2008 10:43:42 PM

what? i guess you just believe what you hear on tv? 250k isn't the cutoff - brackets lower than that have cuts for both siddes - some are higher on one side than the other

just one graph - doesn't have the breakdown for single/married joint/married separate but gets to the point

10/15/2008 11:02:22 PM

So I strike part of my questions from the record about your girlfriend's opinion on who is right for president of the US. I find it amazing that I did not see this thread before I asked such questions.

10/15/2008 11:04:40 PM

Where did this come from?

10/15/2008 11:05:09 PM

based on the above (^^^), Obama is a fuckstick.

10/15/2008 11:05:11 PM

It's a shame that you can't trust people to be honest about their taxes, otherwise Democratic theory might hold water, but no matter what, taxes will always total 19.5% of GDP.

10/15/2008 11:06:58 PM

be glad. Except for the SUPER hippie chicks, liberals are terrible lays

10/15/2008 11:06:59 PM

eh, by cutoff i just meant by having an increase in tax. according to that graph im gonna have a decrease regardless of obama or mccain

i dont trust either candidate, really. im against obama's tax plan even if im not affected by it

10/15/2008 11:09:14 PM

^^^^ what?

Better plan ahead for when you're fabulously rich

10/16/2008 1:12:18 AM

why not?

10/16/2008 1:16:32 AM

I think the 250k number joe#s mentioned is the turnaround number for small businesses. Small businesses that make under 250k a year will pay less taxes than businesses that make over 250k.

10/16/2008 8:09:52 AM

i have mixed emotions about it

part of me agrees with that statement, and yet the "fair" part of me says a flat tax rate is the only equitable solution

but i'm for heavier taxes across the board with more socialized institutions, including higher education, healthcare, etc.

oddly enough, i think welfare should be banished...i dare say that the majority of welfare recipients are people who don't deserve it (by having children they can't support or refusing to work to support themselves...and yes, i know that this is a highly biased opinion and i don't have any evidence to back it up...i'm just bitter)

10/16/2008 8:12:47 AM

i think i agree with quagmire on this...

the problem with socialized health care is it then becomes difficult to get into a dr and to get surgery done in a timely manner.

10/16/2008 8:15:14 AM

^ true...but the way i've envisioned it is that socialized health care provides basic care for EVERYONE, regardless of how much you make, and then it's up to employers to offer supplemental health care as a benefit

i think most employers would, since it should actually reduce the cost that they're currently paying and most people wouldn't see a reduction in care (while those who don't receive care to begin with would see an increase)

i know that a lot of people talk about the possible difficulties of getting in to see a doctor in a timely manner, but i don't think that would be the case if we model our system after those countries who already do it well (i know for a fact that in sweden, you simply make an appointment like you do here, and you're seen within the same basic timeframe)

government-funded "free" clinics (really, paid for by increased taxes) would take care of those who don't have supplemental care, while those with additional care provided by employers would be free to see whomever they want, just like now...yes, it creates a level of segregation, but the point isn't to make sure everyone gets VIP duke-level care, but to see that their most basic needs are provided for...it would be up to each state (or locality) to dictate numbers within reason (which, really, should work in a lot of cases, since the healthcare infrastructure is already in place, it's just privatized)

Why is equal percentage fair?

10/16/2008 9:04:26 AM

I think it's cute how people think politicians are going to do what they say they're going to do if elected.

10/16/2008 9:06:55 AM

lol

"Why is equal percentage fair?"

because, in theory, you get paid more for more work or education or specialization, etc...IN THEORY, people who are paid more money do something of a higher monetary value than, say, someone who works at mcdonald's

why should they be penalized for making more money? for being a harder worker or a smarter worker or a more specialized worker? essentially, to say they should be penalized for such, you're discouraging a better work ethic...if you pay an equal percentage across the board, everyone is paying equally to support the government and socialized programs

now, i know that's not entirely valid, which is why i'm conflicted about it...i'm quite sure i could do the job of a number of 5-million-dollar-a-year-salary CEOs, but i wouldn't be a good construction worker...since the CEO doesn't NEED (even remotely) the $5 million a year to live on, but the construction worker might be struggling to feed his family, i would want to see more equality in quality of life...does the construction work less hard than the CEO? not necessarily...they might work in different ways, but not necessarily more or less

if they both were to put in 40 hours a week and worked all of those hours, don't they DESERVE the same compensation? again, part of me says yes and part says no...i'd rather err on the side of generosity by taking more of the CEO's extra income and supplementing the construction worker's (in the form of education, healthcare, etc) because in the long run, a healthier and more educated populace is better for everyone

i don't think most people really believe that the politician is going to do it (at least not in entirety)...but since neither is going to do it, you're still back to square one (it's not like you can safely say one will do it, but the other won't...might as well assume they both will or they both won't, and continue to judge on proposals)
