What Obama means by tax the wealthy
Here's a closer look at how the Democratic candidate defines well-off for different households, and what his proposals will mean for them.

I think an across the board rate should be set and the govt learn to live with it instead of creating yet another line item to get at what they shouldn't.

So what? Are they suffering in any way shape or form? THEY are the ones bellyaching about having their stinking taxes going towards helping anybody.

Whatever. I just know too many people who struggle to make ends meet to have some crybaby bellyache about they have to pay taxes and don't get as many breaks when they make over 150,000 a year. Cry me a river.


Wow, now that's a new term "income bigiot" Now many on medicade may not be able to go to the Dr. because of the cuts in Medicade, and Dr.s could go broke

I know, and this is what isn't fair about the system. It gauls me no end that people like CHENEY can have Dr.s standing by incase his ole Darth Vader ticker goes into fibulation, he has cadilac health ins at OUR expense.


They spend billions and billions, and bilions not even accounted for, yet our Health Care system is certainly NOT the best in the world. I have a friend who is a nurse, her DH is a DR. and she told me how the government operates. Now, there was a segment on my local news about it, in fact my former Orthopedic Dr. was speaking on the situation. He feels personaly, that more Dr.s need to give part of their time for Medicade patients, spread out the help. Recently in my area
