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.

Did I say ALL? No, I didn't. But success is sometime aquired by cheating and lying your way to the top.

Most people can be a teacher or nurse or any of those other type professions.


Now THAT is a truly ignorant statement.

The issue rather is twofold:


First, if all the current teachers left the market, they would quickly be replaced.

I don't think most have a clue of how hard it is to pass the Nursing Boards, or how hard it is to be a teacher they way the young people today can be so disrespectful. AND that there is ALWAYS continuing education if you are a nurse or a teacher.

You know that mantra is really old.

Your attitude and that of many others as to the republican/conservative viewpoint is so amazingly inaccurate.

A more accurate view is the recognition that most people regardless of their political affiliation feel a responsibility towards their fellow man. Americans are among the most generous people in the world and statistics even show that those who are conservative are the most generous overall. Yes, it's really true.

The differences between the political philosophies is how to act on that responsibility/concern. The conservative/right leaning person views this as an individual responsibility--thus their greater contributions to charities, volunteerism etc....above and beyond their individual taxation levels.

The person who is a democrat/or left leaning seeks to force others they deem to have too much by creating legislation to seize what they have, (because they view it as excessive), and thus they believe in using the government as a tool to redistribute that which has been seized to whoever they have determined has a greater claim on it.

So let's get over the whole "republicans/conservatives" only care about themselves nonsense and and just accept the fact that our differences are not in our good intentions but with what are the appropriate methods to achieve them.

Gee that's easy. We'd pay them more.

That's the way it works if you let the system work.
