Take trickle down out of the equation.

Of course he's proposing one of the largest if not largest tax increase ever.

So what?

We have the largest bill to pay, ever.
The largest debt
The largest trade deficits
You name it, and Republicans have made it larger.

It sucks don't it? Now we all have to kick in and ante up for repeated failure and the 3 decade old promise of trickle down economics.

So yes, you've figured it out :) Obama is going to raise taxes, a lot.

Better to tax and spend then to borrow and spend.

================================

Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!

but to me it did, so I am not complaining.


My bank also does not keep all their stuff here because taxes are too high.

With Obamas tax plan my taxes will go up 5000 dollars. Obama's plan doesn't adress the middle class he gives entitlementes,
---

How do you come to this determination? Due to the bracket change, my household income (2 fulltime jobs) which is just over $110,000 a year, we will get a sizable tax cut.

That's a real pocketbook issue and that's why it works for Obama. Call it what you like.

ok so you are so mad at bush that you are going to let your pay go to entitlements, dont cut off your nose to spit your face.

Mad at Bush? Bush isn't alone in creating this. Face it, the 30 year old dream of trickle down economics hasn't proven to work for me and the vast majority of middle-class/lower income people.

That's what CHANGE is about. You find a way to make it work, I'll vote for it. Until then, I will not.

What do you advocate other than more of the same?

Exactly right. Businesses aren't charities. Their costs and losses will be passed directly down to "main street" in the form of higher prices and job losses.
