4 Increase taxes on those already paying the largest percentage and total amount. The top 1% already pay 39% of all taxes.

Q: Why are they the top 1%? A: Because they earn more (MUCH more) than the other 99%. (That is mathematically correct. And I''m NOT saying that they don''t have a right to earn more.)

In fact, they earn SO much more, that their share of the income pie is over 20% of the total. (1% of the population earns more than 20% of the total.)

If they have 20% of the wealth and we were all taxed at the SAME rate (I know we''re not--see below), the math would conclude at least that 20% of taxes would come from them.

So you might reply with ''but 39% is almost twice that''! And you would be correct, except that the highest tax bracket ($357,700--after deductions--and above) actually pays 35%.

After paying taxes at the rate of, these individuals are left with a minimum of $232,505.

By comparison, someone earning $36,000 is taxed at 25% and is left with $27000.

The only other point I''d like to make is that Obama''s tax plan will only raise taxes on those earning over $250,00. Those making under $75,000 will actually have their taxes cut.

I''ll leave it up to you as to how you feel about that.

"You said in Idaho recently, I''m quoting here, ''I have no intention of taking away folks'' guns.'' But you support the D.C. handgun ban and you''ve said that it''s constitutional," said the moderator, Leon Harris of Washington television station WJLA. Obama nodded as Harris spoke, nodding and saying, "Right, right."

Just keep nodding. My concern is that there are four Justices that agree with him. It never was constitutional.

Why is this story on the politics site?

Shouldn''t it be on the Make my day site?

My, my, my . . . Obama is using Roe v. Wade as a wedge issue, and in doing so, is engaging in the politics of fear. Yet another broken promise by Obama, who is a complete fraud.

Wake up America: We don''t know this guy, and he doesn''t believe in change. Wake up!!!!!

TOO FUNNY TO WATCH THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AND HIMSELF SQUIRM TRYING TO FIND A POSITION ON THIS......GOODBYE PENNSYLVANIA!

8. Abandon America''''s principle of helping the world rid itself of dictatorships, thus, put our weapons down, throw our arms up, and retreat in shame from Iraq.

9. Support dictatorships throughout the world and elevate them to be recognized by the US as worthy leaders that need to be heard without preconditions - legitimize them

Obama is a modern-day Marxist.


Castro and Obama share many of the same values and principles for the country''s economy:

1. Redistribute the country''s wealth - Marxism 101

2. Grow the size of the government - Create new departments dedicated to supporting Item 1

3. Blame greedy American corporations for the pains of the US and the rest of the world

4 Increase taxes on those already paying the largest percentage and total amount. The top 1% already pay 39% of all taxes.

5 Nationalize healthcare

6 Campaign on a principle based on appealing to the lower income 50% of the US to despise the rich and convince 45% of the other half that their life is miserable so that once convinced of their doom and gloom, they will support the doomsayer and will want bigger government

7. Convince the public, that America is perceived as evil, thus, hated by the rest of the world.

10. Grow the support base by expanding the lowest income class in the country by increasing and broadening entitlements; however, add to that the importation of poverty into the United States by giving Amnesty to well over 20 million illegal aliens in the country. Furthermore, promote this policy in order to attract even more illegal immigration prior to the granting of the amnesty in order to achieve the highest number of "new, uneducated, government-dependent poor class", I call the "new poor".

11. Dictate to Americans that they should be ashamed for using 25% of the world''s energy while only having 3% of the population and that A/C thermostats in should be set at higher than 72 degrees.

12. Give up America''s sovereignty for the "good of the world" and to save the planet from "global warming" by supporting new treaties on international boundaries, not drilling in ANWR or offshore, but standing by while Castro plans to drill off the Florida coast.

13. Campaigning on a message of "change", because it sounds good.


The list can go on and on, as Castro and Obama share many principles for the formula for a failed state, but one in which the party of the "new poor" remains in power through the growth of government. As this party provides more and more entitlements for its citizens and big government prevails, the country becomes less and less productive. Eventually, America''s economy is no better off than Cuba''s. Therefore, Fidel, go ahead and send Obama that box of Cohibas, for he is a Marxist just like you.

McCain, also criticized the court''s decision, calling it "an assault on law enforcement''s efforts to punish these heinous felons for the most despicable crime."

"That there is a judge anywhere in America who does not believe that the rape of a child represents the most heinous of crimes, which is deserving of the most serious of punishments, is profoundly disturbing," McCain said in a statement. ----- I agree with what he has said here. Liberal judges are always more concerned about the rights of a pervert. The victim just has to grin and bear it.

[jack3213]

"His Democratic rival, Obama, issued a more carefully worded statement apparently aimed at both moderate voters and his liberal base. The statement from Obama, who has long said local governments should be able to regulate guns, did not specifically say whether Obama agreed with overturning the specific D.C. ban. "

OBROTHER doesn''t know what he is or what he wants!!!
