I know it is endlessly brought up how Obama is going to cut taxes for 95% of working families.

He's giving a tax cut for all BUT 5% - but it sounds better to say he's GIVING it to 95%.

"And how can he say that 95% of working families are getting a tax cut when approximately 33% don't even pay taxes?"

Everybody PAYS TAXES. I realize if you are not making that much they will not take out any FEDERAL TAX until you have earned a certain amount. BUT, I think most all states have STATE Taxes, and or county tax or Real Estate Tax. The only people not paying ANY taxes are HOMELESS and not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have about had it with this "they don't pay any taxes baloney." You are aware I would hope that many of our Veterans are homeless.

I agree with what you said with the exception of this. Many of the people who are for this welfare (not tax cut) for those who don't pay taxes at all are not people who want to give their money to help others, they are people who want to give other people's money to help others. I wonder how many of these "generous" people you refer to will be voluntarily paying extra taxes so they can help others even more.

So you actually think what Obama is talking about reducing is the "STATE Taxes, and or county tax or Real Estate Tax". You really might want to read his tax plan.

No, I never said or thought anything of the kind. The comment was people who don't pay any TAXES. They didn't stipilate FEDERAL TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, what I said stands Everybody pays taxes.

Actually, they are the people who care about the economic future of our country, and see Obama's plan as a way to strengthen that.


And yes, I pay taxes.

I'm curious, how does raising taxes on anybody but more specifically employers strengthen our economic future?

The president doesn't have anything to do with your property taxes.

I guess you'll have to do some reading on economics to answer that one.
