Obama is NOT raising taxes
| Wed, 10-22-2008 - 10:43pm |
Much has been said about Obama raising taxes, but here's the deal on it.
George W Bush is raising your taxes. It is his tax cut that he signed into law that contained the time for them to EXPIRE.
Obama had nothing to do with this Legislation. It was signed by George W Bush.
Of course, only a few years ago John McCain himself wouldn't support those tax cuts, flip-flopping (again) his position entirely since beginning to run for President after the 2004 election.
================================
Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!

Excuse me, but are you trying to tell me that the millionaires earning their millions by paying a financial advisor to buy and sell for them are working hard for those dividends and capital gains? I whole-heartedly disagree. It's the CNAs who take care of the millionaires who end up in the in the nursing home, and who earn <$10/hour who are the compassionate, hard workers.
We must see through different glasses, read different books and listen to different sounds because there's no way I could think like you do in the world I live in.

So, how did you make it through all those surgeries if only recently you've been in the >250 financial position? Medicaid? Did you benefit from a socialist program? Or was inheritance money, or the generosity of millionaires in your family? I spent too many years in health care finance to think that anyone making less than $200,000, with more than one child, could survive like that.
Now that YOU'VE got the money, perhaps sharing the wealth doesn't sound so good anymore. I see. The picture is getting clearer. Or maybe you'll only share it with YOUR relatives. Did it ever occur to you that someone with a disabled child like yours might not have wealthy relatives? Maybe they live in an inner city and do not even have the chance to become a self-made person as it seems you've managed to do.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but the story you tell is beginning to sound pretty unbelievable. I've seen too much in the REAL world.

What I call a millionaire is someone with net worth of a million. In a two-earner family, I'd say the equivalent is net worth of two million. Most households who make more than $250K could easily be millionaires, as long as they spend within their means.
I don't have much sympathy for them if they feel they have to eat out for $50/person, buy $50,000 cars and purchase $1,000,0000 homes and send their kids to $30,000+ tuition colleges while borrowing to fund their extravagances.

>>> Excuse me, but are you trying to tell me that the millionaires earning their millions by paying a financial advisor to buy and sell for them are working hard for those dividends and capital gains?
LOL! Ok, I guess a little schoolin' is in order. First of all, the "top 5%" actually starts at $153K, not $250K. And even people who make $250K...WHICH IS GROSS, NOT NET...aren't "millionaires earning their millions by paying a financial advisor to buy and sell for them." They're people working hard to provide for their families. And even the "millionaires" of which you speak...it's kind of a big "DUH!" to have to point out that they actually WORK for the money their financial advisers invest for them. Again, you seem to have a very skewed impression of who the top 5% really are.
>>> I whole-heartedly disagree. It's the CNAs who take care of the millionaires who end up in the in the nursing home, and who earn <$10/hour who are the compassionate, hard workers.
Millionaires don't end up in nursing homes...and they pay more than $10/hr when they HIRE RNs or LPNs rather than CNAs.
>>> We must see through different glasses, read different books and listen to different sounds because there's no way I could think like you do in the world I live in.
True...greed and feelings of entitlement can tend to cloud one's judgment. I guess that's why so many on the left are salivating at the prospect of their welfare checks.
