like the #2 wealthiest man in the world says ,if its class warfare my side is winning . He must have gotten that way by being stupid , thats why he supports not only Obama but the inheritance tax. , actual tax rates.In 1970, the top 1 percent of households paid an average of 47 percent of their income in federal taxes; under 2004 law, Piketty and Saez estimate they faced an average tax rate of just 30 percent, a difference of 17 percentage points.[4] (2004 is the last year for which Piketty and Saez provide tax rate estimates.[5]) In 2004 terms, this difference works out to an average of more than $200,000 per household in additional after-tax income.

%u201CLarge reductions in tax progressivity since the 1960s took place primarily during two periods: the Reagan presidency in the 1980s and the Bush administration in the early 2000s.%u201D
meanwhile in 8 years Republicans have doubled our national debt that was 200 yrs in the making,they should get a prize this Nov.sides a "pagan" voting republican.

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 newfdepartments 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. Obama8Years."
lets look at #1 & #4
As of 1995 (the latest figures available), Federal Reserve research found that the wealth of the top one percent of Americans is greater than that of the bottom 95 percent. Three years earlier, the Fed''s Survey of Consumer Finance found that the top one percent had wealth greater than the bottom 90 percent.
From 1983-1995 only the top five percent of households saw an increase in their net worth while only the top 20 percent experienced an increase in their income.
Wealth projections through 1997 suggest that 86 percent of stock market gains between 1989 and 1997 went to the top ten percent of households while 42 percent went to the most well-to-do one percent. .now then I am not huge on saying a man is wrong on his info that the top 1% pay 39%.err most economists put it at 30 %, in 1970 their rate was 47% and the rich were still rich, ,by the way obama8years not knowing the difference 9% can make is why he posts here instead of wallowing on his yaht .

Because in the end, the outnumbered troops win the battle.

Fact.

Actually those troops didn''''t win, they barely held out. It was Patton who won the battle.

True word there. Patton''s 3rd Army made an incredible forced march with full armour through horrible conditions. While the 101st Airborne defense of Bastogne was heroic beyond belief, it was Patton that rescued them and saved the day.

Tex, if that''s really the way Obama shoots the bird, he needs lessons from Bush/Cheney who know how to do it right. Heck, I''ll bet you can teach Barak a thing or two about how to give the finger. But then, you probably get a lot of practice.

"The most obvious reason for the gap is age: Young voters are the savviest online users, and most of them flocked to Obama in the primaries"

Most of McCain supporters are the type who are still trying to figure out how to open their email to download pics of their great grand children and I can guarantee that most of them have 12:00 flashing on their old VCR''s because they can''t figure out how to make it stop.

And on YouTube, it''''s like Obama and McCain operate in two separate layers of the atmosphere. McCain''''s channel, which has posted 208 videos, has been viewed 3.7 million times; Obama''''s more than 1,100 videos on his channel have been viewed 53.4 million times."

LoL...17,300 of them were watching Obama shoot the finger at Hillary....the other 50 million are of Obama''''s racist preacher Rev. Wrongass. Obama''''s smarmy speeches barely account for a million. Ho hum...

Keating Five, anyone?

I enjoy the part of Ed''s song that says "as a Prisoner of War, he stood by his country."

Is that why he signed an ANTI-AMERICAN confession?

Well, I would say their Nazis, and not only because of Obama''s anti-Israel stance. As a white male, I feel like a german jew before Germany elected Hitler. Everyone I know assures me Obama won''''t be elected, and even if he is, it won''t be that bad. But, I know in my heart he will dismantle this nation and attempt to reallocate wealth and power from the majority to the black minority. This could be South Africa Part 2.

Don''t confuse capitalism and democracy, they can exist together but only with strong government control and social programs that benefit all the people.

What is wrong with Marxists, aren''t they better than the right wing fascist Nazis that are the corporate CEOs that run the government? Or if you are a right you want to be told what to do, where to go and what to think!!!!!

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.

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

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.

If there was any doubt there is a liberal media bias, you just have to look at this biased headline. We have a neck and neck race and McCain is basically losing if you believe this headline. Utter rubbish writing!
