Obama's policies and beliefs have proven quite "changeable".

Right.

Below $200k, you get a cut. Above $250k, you get an increase. $200-250k, expect about the same. Which oughtta be fine for you with all those Bushie tax cuts you've already gotten, LOL.

Well if you were actually making between 200K and 250K and you didn't have retirement or a mortgage you are doing something very wrong! It would be just plain stupid at that income level to not be saving for retirement and buying a home. Both of which provide tax benefits.

I think what she is referencing is the constant saying of 'only those who make over 250k' .... and based on his own calculator it's actually those who make 200k and up.

It's actually those over $200k who.....WHAT, exactly?

Obama has ALWAYS said that no one under $250k will have their taxes increased. What he hasn't said is that he'll give a tax CUT to everyone under $250k.

But for the most part, Middle class people making LESS than 250,000 will not get much of anything, under McCain, he favors the wealthy, corporations, even when they send work overseas. THEN he wants to tax your Health ins benefits from your employer. No, No McCain for me.

I just went to the Obama website tax calculator. I entered in income level of $200K-$250K Married filing jointly, with 2 dependents. No mortgage stuff, no retirement, nothing. It says I won't get a tax cut.

Nor were you ever promised one. What's been promised to 'That bracket' is that your taxes will never INCREASE.

You're aware of the difference no?

Perhaps you could tell us why trickle down economics (voodoo) has not worked.

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

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

No problem. Sorry I didn't catch your intent more fully. And thanks for agreeing that Obama hasn't actually claimed that.
