Most people are sound asleep. The biggest redistribution of wealth will not happen when/if Obama raises tax rates. It has already happened! Any future tax rate increase will be peanuts compared to the money that I and you have already lost on the Wall Street in the last four months. This current financial crisis has happened under the republican watch (so much so that they were almost caught by surprize). Now they are blaming everyone from Carter to Clinton for this mess but they are not blaming themselves. It was Regan who somehow convinced every American that more wealth can be created using borrowed money and without hard work and sacrifices. Today whole of America is pay the price. And McCain is using the same tax-cut rhetoric to win yet another election. He will not succeed this time. Too many people have suffered too much to let that happen.

NEEDERBAUR: Why do you keep repeating nonsense? To vote for McCain is self-destructive. He has again and again proven that he advocates wealth being distributed to the top 2% of Americans through tax laws engineered by Reagan and supported by Bush and McCain. In 1986 there were 13 American BILLIONairs in 2006 Americans had to have 1.35 Billion to get on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans List. Can you wrap your mind around how much money a Billion dollars is? USA is thick with Billionaires while middle America is going broke! Can you seriously continue to ignore that and convince yourself that Obama is your enemy? He''s trying to help you. He''s trying to repeal tax laws that favor the FILTHY RICH and allow the economy to work for the average American.
Beyond all the arguments, how do you believe McCain after he has lied so outrageously during his campaign? Because he''s white? Because he''s Episcopalian or un-baptized Baptist (he hasn''t decided which to stick to)? Because he fought in a war? What about this man inspires you to forfeit your future out of loyalty to McCain?

Don''t feel too threatened-the rich will keep getting richer, just not so blatantly and with less damage to your community in the process.

John McCain assures his "friends" all across America that he is not in the pocket of George W. Bush. On just one issue I submit he is not only in Bush''s pocket, he booted a bunch of kids out of there in the process. I refer to his two votes to sustain the vetoes of SCHIPS by Bush. The result of his denial of SCHIPS and support of Bush has been that at least 2 million children are not covered by any form of medical care insurance WHILE their parents are. His actions have spoken so loudly we can no longer hear his promises.
