If anybody in this thread thinks they are getting a tax cut either way, you are fooling yourself. I hope you can come back to this thread in a year and look at what you said. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY anyone's taxes will go down. NO WAY. Not to mention the 2003 tax cuts expire in 2010 so that's an automatic up unless they are renewed ( yeah right. )

+1

My observation over the last 20 years...
Both Republicans and Democrats raise taxes equally.
The only difference is that Rebublicans never admit to it.
"read my lips, no new taxes"

Forget taxes. Vote based on who plays a meaner guitar.

Over here in Scotland everyone is hoping obama will get in (though to be honest it doesnt look like McCain has a hope in hell-he makes great home fries though.

I wonder how long it will take for Russia to boil up, when Palin gets to office??
They are probably plotting something right now.. Looking through her window at her front yard..

Or, if not a guitar contest, at least a Buddy Rich style drum showdown.


oh, i have a hard time blaming GHWB for that tax increase, after all the president only signs the budget. it originated in a democrat controlled congress. Surely he should have vetoed it but look what being non-partisan got him.... criticized by the very people who handed him the bill in the first place.

www.obama.com (where's the food? I'm hungry...)

yay it will all be over soon.. the UK will get it's news TV back...

it got boring a few weeks ago well not if you live in the country. I think the UK and euro elections should feature over there ..hehe

fairs fair

in the UK the media can't talk about when we have elections, I guess the rules are different over there

I hate to sound so pessimistic but all politicians are in it for themselves and their special interests, not for us. It always amazes me how intelligent people can fall for all the pre-election rhetoric hook, line, and sinker. In my opinion, neither candidate is a good choice. But, each party will defend their candidates obvious weaknesses just to protect the interests of the party. I'm sorry to say it is not about helping the people, it's about power and greed. At least we can vote our choice. Just don't rely only on the rhetoric, do your own investigation and vote what will be best for the country as a whole. My 2cents

I like kitties.

Ordinarily, that's not a great boast

But again, the world can't vote.

Who knows... maybe they've been in contact with ACORN

Guns and Religion? Who needs all that BS. They both kill people and are used to influence results. All for an imaginary end of an imaginary beginning.

Here we go again..... D'Oh!!

I think it's naive to suggest that increasing taxes for anyone will solve anything. If you give the government more money, they'll just spend it.

I look at government as an irresponsible 20 year with his first credit card. Spend spend spend, then take a cash advance to pay your credit card bill, then spend spend spend, then open a new credit card and transfer the balance from your old one, then spend spend spend, then another cash advance, then more spending, and so on...

At some point, you've used up all your borrowing power, and no one wants to give you money, and your loan shark (China) doesn't want to buy your bad debt anymore. So, at some point he'll either get his kneecaps whacked or he can can cut up the credit cards and get his spending under control.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
