Why do you think McCain is better and why do you think Obama wants a socialist nation?

Progressive tax aside, which you seem to disagree with completely (and that's okay), what is your perception of each candidate?

but we come as close as we can...the careers that offer higher pay typically offer higher risk, effort, sacrifice......

I know people who work their fingers to the bone every single day of their lives, and they never get ahead.

no one has argued...it is widely accepted that half of the people filing tax returns only contribute 3% of the taxes collected...


flip to slide # 2 on this website...


there are many more...but it isn't in question...the fact is...that 50% of the population pays nothing or next to nothing.


if your family pays income taxes (if you have put more in than recieved back after filing) than you are likely in the top half of wage earners.....so you may want to be more wary of slaping the "rich" with more taxes....because you may be surprised to find that you may be considered "rich"


thank you for the link, i will check it out this weekend

check out slide # 2


there are more.... i jsut clarified in my last post...no one has ever disputed the fact that 50% of all income earners pay nothing, or next to nothing in income taxes.


you must be "weathly"....97% of the income taxes collected are from the TOP 50% of wage earners.....so if you pay a decent amount in income tax, you must be in the top half of income earners...


i didn't mean a life change...i meant no impact at all...no money at all....


if someone doesn't pay taxes, a tax break won't help.

If I put money into a savings account I'd be earning interest.


true...which is why it is important to have your witholdings adjusted properly, so you put in what you need to, not more, not less....by having your witholdings incorrect, you are not earning interest on your money, and you should be.
