Found this summary on the Obama Facebook page but I checked out the website and the summary is accurate according to the nonpartisan Tax policy Center.


The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that Mr. Obama's plan would amount to a tax cut for 81 percent of all households, or 95.5 percent of those with children. The center calculated that by 2012 the Obama plan would let middle-income taxpayers keep about 5 percent more income on average, or nearly $2,200 a year, while Mr. McCain would give them an average 3 percent break, or about $1,400. The richest 1 percent would pay an average $19,000 more in taxes each year under Mr. Obama's plan but see a tax cut of more than $125,000 under Mr. McCain.

Ok, you are saying that people who work in Food service don't work hard, how about a CNA, guess they don't work hard either. Try doing either for a week. A CNA in particular. CNA's make on average depending what part of the country they work in between 6.50-14.00 an hour. Do you know what a CNA does? They get patients/residents up from their beds, help them dress, shower them, toilet them, wiping their private areas if they can't themselves, clean up if they get sick. If a patient is violent, they can get punched/kicked/spit on. all for less, and in most cases FAR less than 25,000 a year. They can become a nurse, Lpn, or Rn. What do you think these people make? Usually LESS than 100,000 a year. How about police, fire/rescue, all make LESS than 100,000 a year. ARE THEY LAZY???????????????THESE are the hard working people Obama wants to help MORE.

The discussion wasn't about your taxes being used to pay for services.

Now, you won't get an argument there on CPS, I agree they can be about worthless. BUT, the laws on the books are about worthless, they are doing their job, by the letter of the
