I have thought about the diffrent tax plans and the more I think about it the angrier I get. I know alot of small business owners, I watch them go to work before the employees, and come home long after the employees have finished for the day. I watched them do without for years to build their business up and finally reach a point where the long hours are finally paying off and now there is a group of people lead by Obama and the democrats telling these people they need to give a little to the people they hire and put in those 18 hour days for.

I watched my friend work her behind off to get a degree to get a job that pays well, so she can finally have the American dream and there is a group of people who are telling her she needs to give a little of what she earns to the people who could of done the same but did not. After years of hard work and doing without these people think she did not earn what she makes but the ones who put little effort into moving forward did.

While the regular guy goes to work for 8 hours then goes home and kicks back watching CSI or sports, the business person and my friend were still hard at work building a future for themselfs and now some guy who never started a business nor had to work that 8 hour day while supporting kids and getting a degree, need to give a little of what they worked for to those who did not earn it.

Mean while this same Obama and his democratic buddies where taking big money from companies that destroyed our economy, while they blocked all efforts to get it under control before it happened and now they have the gall to cry look at what the republicans did. It was their greed  and give a little ideas that brought this crisis down on us and their solution? Bail out Fannie and Freddie but to heck with the guy who is watching his hopes and dreams go up in smoke, let's just tax them and finish the job.

These same people have a $800 billion pork plan sitting and waiting for Obama to get elected and do they care we are 2 trillion in debt and in an economic crisis? No they do not, as Barney Frank says there are still alot of rich people out there we can tax. Do they care we spend $700+ billion a year buying oil we have here? No, there are still a few rich people out there to tax. Do they care that we have enemies who want to destroy us? No they plan to disarm our missle tracking weapons, our nuke defenses and cut our defense budget by 25% so they can waste more.

I see our future threw the eyes of a liberal democrat and it is not pretty. We will end up sitting ducks with very few jobs and a President that even his VP pick does not believe can protect us. I see a nation very like Iran, Cuba and some of the African nations, poor starving and our own people being destroyed, but not to worry, there are still some rich people to tax so the people who did not earn the money will get it.

Nite all and God bless

You don't sound like you need anybody's help- it sounds like you are doing just fine to me!

My husband is BOTH of those people you talk about- we both worked 2 jobs each to put him through undergraduate and graduate school, and then to start his own firm. We have been successful- we live modestly, but nicely, in a home we can afford, have paid all our student debt, and give a lot to the community. My husband works 70 to 75 hours a week, and already pays double SS as a sole proprietor, matches his employees' SS, pays for health insurance, and pays taxes on our small business at the individual rates. I resent terribly the insinuation from Mr. Obama, who NEVER CREATED A JOB in his life, that we are somehow responsible for MORE. I am looking at sending our son to college next year- we can't afford even a year's full tuition, but we will all work to make it happen. I don't expect anyone to give it to us at someone else's expense. When will a politician stand up and say- ENOUGH! Be Responsible! Work Hard! Be Happy! Not in this election, that's for sure. When Congress won't do it, why should anyone else, right? God Bless you, too, Gimini, from a fellow "reformed Democrat"!

I was a single mother of five for almost 7 years, I worked 2 jobs, 75 hours and sometimes 80 to make ends meet. I managed to keep a roof over our heads, shoes on their feet and food on the table and I did not ask for hand outs until I ended up in the hospital for almost a month. I needed help then but later I worked for 3 years as a volenteer to help our counties needed with the things I got help with. I paid my state back by giving them 40 hours a week for free. So I feel as if I earned my way threw life. I have a lower income but Obama can stick his welfare where the sun does not shine. I do not steal other peoples money and it is theft. I want you to know that I for one know exactly what it is.

By the way I did not get child support and now my childrens father is dead and I will never get my back support but that does not mean I want some other guy to pay it. That is the same as taking your taxes and giving them to me. Your taxes are not mine just as my children are not some other guys job to support but their fathers.

Making BIG companies pay the same tax rate you and I pay, that's STEALING from them?

So when Bush was 'redistributing the wealth' (as you put it) by handing out checks to the "poor", that wasn't welfare?

Gimini210, do you make more than 250K a year?
Uhhh, me neither... So your taxes will not change or they will go down.

Can someone provide a list of what makes the Obama/Biden ticket so socialistic?

gemini I admire you. I have done similar things, husband left , I had cancer, could not work, he would not sign the divorce papers so no child support so I had to use food stamps. But I have volunteered. What Obama does not understand (among many things) is that most of the companies that employ US citizens are hard pressed. Many employees do not realize that their employer pays about the same amount they do in SS, unemployment both federal and state and benefits like vacation, sick leave and holidays which they do not get work done. Obama wants a socialistic society where everyone gets the same amount and gives no incentive to improve either yourself or the world. The "why go to work, I make the same if I work or not".

I did not start that business, be it big or small, I know what that business pays in matched social security, workers comp, liability, unemployement, fed taxes, state taxes, and then regular overhead. I know who builds your 401K's that the dems want to remove the tax break from and end. I know what the people who started that business went threw. I know that when you think some one owes you what they earned you are no mor than a crook stealing what you did not earn. I am not a charity case and I do not want some one elses money. I do not earn $30,000.00 a year but I do not get food stamps, housing nor welfare. If it is not yours then it is stolen. Very simple. You can not go into a persons home and take one of six T.V.s because you only have one and you can't take some ones money because you don't have as much. Dress it up and call it a tax break but it is charity and if you think it is free get a life. Nothing is free.

39% in fed taxes plus all the insurances businesses have to pay now, plus matched social security on every employee, plus state taxes will be 65% to 75% of their gross earings not net, then add forced insurances on a business that grosses $201,000.00, because that is what Obama plans on doing, go listen again, and that person ends up with less than $30,000.00 that year to buy supplies and pay payroll. What happens then? Fire the employees, drop the insurances except for liability and go back to just self employed. Do the flipping math. Obama's plan will destroy 95% of all small businesses that hire people, and the big companies can afford to leave our country. And they will.

Of that gross $250,000.00 most goes back into the business called reinvestments so he isn't making all that money. You have to run a business to understand how it works. The IRS taxes the total amount you recieved, then they allow deductions such as payroll, overhead, and insurances. They do not allow for matched social security, unemployement benifits etc. So you make $250,000.00 then deduct expenses and if you have $100,000.00 left you are lucky. My sister runs a small business and they owe more in taxes then they have left after payroll and inurances and overhead, but they still owe $40,000.00 because they recieved payments for what their crews did. Because your company brings in $250,000.00 does not mean at the end of the year you made a profit of that. It means you brought in th

That amount of money. In the end you are luck if you bring home the same as you pay the people who work for you. Sometimes you have very little and have to give up one bill to pay another. So Obama will do what you have worked hard not to do, end your business. So you vote for him and then rememeber, simple math would of kept you your job. His lack of business training shows in his inability to see what it takes to run a business.

So do the math, 39% fed + 7% matched social security on every employee, + 15% state tax, plus pay roll, plus liability insurance + workers comp + unemployement + rent for your building, + overhead for what ever you make and sale. And in some places city taxes. Taxes alone takes 61% of you income if you do not own a business with Obama's new tax plan. Got news, A good doctor can go else where and make good money and not pay those taxes, as can any well educated person and what we will have left is all of us low incomes not businesses, wish we had thought with our brains and not greed.

We don't make anywhere near 250K, but that's not the point, is it. Less than 4% of people in this country do. There is NO WAY that Obama will have enough $$$ through taxation to do the things he claims he will do. Like gimini says- do the flippin math! Mr. Obama never met a subsidy program he didn't like and vote for. He doesn't understand economics and inflation- his 4 Point Plan is complete gov't top heavy re-distribution and subsidization of irresponsible people on the taxpayer dime. So is his plan to give Earned Income Tax Credits to people who pay ther child supoort. HUH? The courts will just figure that in, too- more on the taxpayer dime. He is now supporting another stimulus pmt- he originally was against the first one, but when he saw which way the wind blew, now he and "Do what I say, not what I do" Pelosi want another one! Why don't we just print up a bunch of money and drop it from a helicopter? There needs to be a better safety net for people who are truly in trouble, but we can't even do that right because we have so many at the trough who shouldn't be- the Farm Bill is a perfect example. It will be 600 BILLION after the Dems added reparations to black farmers who say they couldn't get loans (85% of the original claims proved fraudulent), most will be to rich landowners to do nothing, and a LITTLE bit to the environment and Food stamps. Obama LOVED it! Bush wanted to veto, but the Dems know how to fill a bill with pork and then threaten to make conservatives look bad, like with all the veteran's bills. gimini has pride, and dignity, like so many o

gimini has pride, and dignity, like so many of us- we KNOW the score, but the Dems want us under their thumbs to keep us needing them- Obama has openly espoused "radical" education theory- he and Ayers worked on it together- go to YouTube and watch some 2001, 2002 videos of Obama and THEN ask how he's a Socialist.

Not only is he a socialist but Obama has a history of mentors that hate whites, America, and the Jewish people. He has conections to radical muslems, and he spews marxiest ideas. You may think this is alright but think of if the person running was a skin head, connected to Nazi's and the KKK, be alot diffrent then. No one would believe that person if they said they did not know these people were that way.

All of it and it took almost 7 years. And if I had to do it again I would. My bills are my problem and my money is my earnings and I do not expect you or anyone else to pay them. I know what it means to struggle and I know if I worked my behind off to get ahead I sure do not want any one taking my money and giving it to you or Joe the plumber or any one I do no want to have it. I also do not want to take something that is NOT mine. I am not a crook and if it did not come from my work then I do not need it. I drive an old car, I live in a small house and I eat on $100.00 a month. I am happy with the fact I earned every thing in my house. I do not have DSL but what the heck, I'm still alive.

If I came into your home and took your money to give to the homeless guy down the road without your consent you would call it robbery and have me locked up, but when Obama says he is going to do the same thing you call it a tax cut, problem is he is cutting taxes on taxes alot of people did not even pay by taking some one else's money and giving it to some one else. The same as what I would be doing. That is stealing.

Gimini, I hate to break it to you but every presidential candidate, since FDR has had some type of connection with a hate group, beit KKK, anti American or anti gay. They preside in the Senate, the House, Congress, State and local Government, military and law enforcement. The blinders have just remained "on". What I don't see, I don't know is the attitude. Keep it real now.

There is a diffrence, Obama, himself, said he carefully picked his, and I have looked up most of them, I probibly have a friend who is radical, but I did not go to their churches or meeting, nor did I study their beliefs. I did not call any my mentor. I do not have freinds who in any way radically hate my country, another race, or a group of people because of their faith. I do not want a president who does not salute our flag until he is called on it, nor that collects large groups of people as friends and associates that are anti American. I can list 16 I know of that Obama has working for him or associated with or thinks of as mentors and none of them would be welcomed in my home much less do I want them in the White House.

I am a reformed democrat now republican and mother of 5, have 10 grandchildren and one greatgrand child. I have lived all over the US and love to sit on docks and fish. Waiting for the big one. I love my family and a good joke, reading and painting. My siblings all think I need to be taken care of as do my children and I'm the oldest so don't know why. I watch Fox 4 News because you are about the fairest all around on T.V.
