  • I disagree. Come look at my new video on the plan. More left leaning people will agree

  • Why are Americans so afraid of taxes?

  • What did people really expect would happen when they put a fucking worthless nigger in the white house!

  • To think that that's lower then before the Bush tax cut's that made the US go frm record surplus to record defficet.

  • i say we start a new world war, that will boost the economy !

  • i think we should cause another depression then go to world war 3

    helped the economy in the 1940's it'll help now :D but no nukes

    haha kidding

  • and just so everyone knows. The Grace Commission during Ronald Reagan's administration found that before one nickle goes to pay for any public work or for any government project in America, 100% of the money collected by the IRS goes to the IMF to pay the interest on the fraudulent "national debt"

  • We should continue to UNFAIRLY TAX the MiddleClass.

    Give tax breaks to Corporations who continue to OUTSOURCE American Jobs, overseas.

    Do nothing to stop the National Unemployment Rate from climbing (now, nearly a Record 10%). That's only 30MILLION people out of work!

    Increase the Cost of LIving!

    Keep charging the MiddleClass astronomical Healthcare prices that they can't afford with HIGH TAXES & NO JOBS!

    Yeah ... Obama is the evil one.

  • @TheAntichristHoax you socialists piss me off when you pretend you speak for the middle class.

  • Stop paying taxes! End of socialism!

  • Well, let me get this straight. I am going to get some sort of tax cut. Yesterday I also received a notice from my employer that my hours are being cut. So after all is said and done, I think I am right back where I started from. Factoring in rising state and local taxes and inflation, I will actually suffer a net loss. Did I ever believe that the government would allow me to keep more of my earnings? Well, I had hope but that change is not happening.

  • this is a just a screen shot. it doesnt even say which bracket those tax increases affect. lame.

  • 39.6 % WTF!! 12 X approx. .4 = approx. 4.8 months per year working for the government. if that's not slavery, what is?

  • hi think you so much for posting this datea think for uploading it...bye

  • "I contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself by the handle."

    -Winston Churchill

  • thankyou for posting this, its so true!

  • Income tax is illegal, unconstitutional. Takes about 10 seconds to research it. Research the Federal Reserve (illegal) too while you're at it. When you pick your jaw up off the ground, spread the word. God help us all. Blessings.

  • Haha, thank you someone finally realizes that! I keep telling everyone "You are working nearly 4 months of the year to pay this tax, do you know how much you would save?!?"

  • Check the 16th amendment...

  • The 16th amendment DIRECTLY opposes the Constitutional stance on a direct, unapportioned tax. And it was never properly ratified. Go kiss IRS ass if you want but leave us out of it.

  • I'm just saying the Supreme Court will never agree with you.

  • Then they're traitors, guilty of treason and they deserve to be imprisoned.

  • the penalty for treason is DEATH.

  • @kensho3 The 16th amendment legalized the income tax... get over it...

  • @Moionfire

    that doesn't mean its right for the country does it. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID DEMOCRAT

  • How's this for change? With the proposed tax increase, a business owner who grossed 375,000 per year noticed he had to lay off about a dozen employees to make ends meet. Devastated that he would have deliver this news to 12 individuals, he consulted his upper staff. They suggested going to the parking lot and finding 12 Obama stickers. Those people with the stickers were promptly laid off. This is who they voted for, then they will reap the consequences.

  • I wish Obama and his band had basic understanding of economics.

    "If democrats had brain, they would be republicans"

    Ann Cutler

  • 375000*.36=45000

    375000*.396=49500

    49500-45000=4500

    so these 12 employees make a combined $4500 per year?

    you fail at math, please try again

    also, the only one of the top 15 states in per capita earnings that didn't vote for obama was the socialist state awash with petrodollars, alaska.

    So, mccain voter, why don't you get a job and quit blaming "the black" for all your problems

  • Unless they instate tariffs or pass bills to raise taxes the president doesn't damage the economy.:/ The congress however makes these bills to raise taxes and all this crap. And for the last 2 years we have had a democratic majority congress.:)So if you want to blame the economy on government officials look to the Democrat senators and representatives that vote on bills to raise taxes.xD Btw, the economy runs on cycles, there will ALWAYS be peaks and recessions. Some people don't get that.:/

  • The ignorance and stupidity of America knows no bounds, to follow up and love someone who keeps changing his idea of change, and to evidently screw us over, now to all you retarded ignorant Obama lover's, I only have this to say. I completely saw this coming.

  • Theres your change you assholes will get.

  • Change you can believe in

    Change you can believe in

    Change you can believe in

    CHANGE... CHANGE... CHANGE...

    Yes we can

  • lol mao believed in change

    so did lenin.

  • Too bad our new president is about as intelligent as the old one, but with socialist plans. America has high taxes and faggotry on the horizon.:( Lets move to South Africa.

  • I prefer Canada, it is a lot cleaner

  • Nah, taxes are too high for my taste. They already have Socialized Health care.

  • GekoGraff,

    It is nice you like clean streets like in Canada, but people have to take responsibility to take care of it. We good take care of streets in my town, but unfortunately, there are type of people who do not care about sanitary. Secondly, it is not federal government's responsibility to clean streets.

  • What are you talking about? First of all i live in what used to be America, second My family owns a staffing company, and third where did you get anything about cleaning streets?

  • Thank you for responding to my comments. I think you responded to Gastualfukan like this

    "I prefer Canada, it is a lot cleaner."

  • Oh, haha I misread what you wrote which is why I came back all defensive. Haha my bad.

  • ATTN: COLORADO, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, IOWA, INDIANA AND MORE...

    "SHOCK Audio Unearthed OBAMA TELLS SAN FRANCISCO HE WILL BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY"

    MCCAIN 2008

  • If he wins, what's the point of me finishing college and becoming a College professor and earning good money? Might as well kick back at McDonalds and still live a decent life rather than work hard.

  • I don't think College professors make $250,000 a year. You are better off getting a tax break under Obama's plan. If you make $90,000 a year you would get back $1264. With McCain's plan $994. If you stay at McD at $20,000 a year, you would get back $892. vs $118 with McCain. Wake the hell up

  • yeah but there is no reason for hard working people to have to pay for people who just cant get good work ethic and have to work at Mcdonalds.

  • let me tell you something i hate obama i dont want him to raise our taxes

  • You won't get your taxes raised unless you make more than $200,000 for single and $250,000 if married. Everyone below will come out better on Obama's plan than on McCain's. He gives the tax breaks to the rich and so has Bush for the last 8 years, and it hasn't worked. Look at our economy!

  • GO OBAMA!!!!

  • How are people so fucking stupid?

  • see for yourself - taxpolicycenter. org

    or check out other analysis done by pretty much any media outlet. Don't rely on a 1:00 mute soundbite. You don't even know what they are saying about this chart. All that McCain supporters have to win on is COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT. Stop with the bullshit tactics, grow some fucking balls and play with the facts.

  • I AM SO THANKFUL THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE NOT AS STUPID AS blicksflicks. BECAUSE IF IT WERE SO, WE WOULD NOT GET A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE TUESDAY!

  • uh yeah he is much smarter than you because he uses facts and doesnt just type everything in all caps and expect people to believe him. we need change as of tuesday, because as soon as he steps into office we are officially socialists

  • You are as dumb as joe the plumber, and he too does make over $250,000 a year. He has said this over and over again you just are not listening. I guess you would never believe Bush's tax cuts taxed a lower income person at a rate of 38% vs a Wall street exec at 17%. I guess that's fair!

  • You got to be crazy. Obama's taxes are far above the Bush tax cuts. I've looked at the numbers for all income brackets. McCain won in every bracket. Obama will have the highest tax hikes in the history of America, create new taxes and also restore the Inheritance tax. Man, don't be telling me about the numbers I've already looked at on paper. Anyway, you will see. We'll see if you want Obama in for a second term after you see these tax hikes.

  • Horsecrap. He makes less than 20k per year, and he owes back payments in child support and taxes, and he was on welfare for years. He WAS/IS a phony.

  • You're a dumbass. And if you are black, that's even more pathetic.

  • when did i say i was black? you are a fucking dumbass

  • haha you have amazing come backs go back to elementry before you start insulting people

  • "Elementry"???? What's that you ignorant, uneducated, cocksucking Retardlican? Did you mean Elementary? Because evidently you did not spend enough time there. I guess that's why you supported McSame. Bitch, don't even.

  • haha oh i am so sorry that i forgot the a calm down its youtube, grow some balls and get a life im assuming you dont work because obviously you would have preferred mccain to obama, any way whats done is done we are socialists now and i guess that is what people like you wanted good job! Obama, Marx 08!

  • Yeah well it's okay, because you also forgot your brain. But then I guess you never had one judging by your comments. I don't have to work. I am rich. And I owe it all to Bill Clinton. Cannot wait for Obama to make me richer. And you should be happy, because your broke ass will get some tax breaks from PRESIDENT OBAMA.

  • okay your rich, you wouldnt make more money you would LOSE MONEY. and im not broke im one of those people who will be getting taxed by this bullshit and if your "rich" you will too moron. And again your insulting someone over youtube to try and make them agree wity you? you are a moron and i will never call him the p word fuck him i hope he gets shot

  • First of all it's, you're rich, not "your rich". And as far as "morons" go, you should know that you get the most votes in the catagory. Sorry, I don't buy your crap about your making over 250k per year. Doing what? You are at mental retardation level.

  • And I call the "p word" (pussy), so maybe you should get some balls and call Obama Mr. President, because we all know that his tax plans will save your broke ass. And lastly, your " i hope he gets shot" comment? Well, I am sending a link from this comment, and your profile to the F.B.I. We'll see what they think about your comment.

  • haha i am so sorry that i dont use proper grammar all the time on the internet. oh and people said that about bush all the time whats the difference? and my family owns a small business so yes we do make about that much a year so dont go off flying your mouth about shit that you dont know. so again screw obama i dont like him at all.

  • You should be sorry. But you should be sorry to your small minded, oops small business owning family for disgracing them with your stupidity for the entire world to see. Genetics are a bitch aren't they? Please don't have any children.

  • wow ok i am done arguing with you. although i will say i am sorry about the more rude remarks i made earlier i was having a fairly bad day so i took it out on the first person to make me angry, so the obama remark was probably over board, but i will stick with the fact that my family will be hurt by his tax plans. you dont know anything about me or my family or business for that matter, but i am sick of arguin with people like you. have fun with socialism!

  • Yeah, the comment about hoping he should be shot was not good. Sorry about the taxes affecting your family. But one way to look at it, and you may not agree, is that if poor and the middle class have more money they can spend more money in your families business, which could help them too. But you have every right to feel how you want. But we should try not to be violent in our arguments. Peace...

  • I hope you don't hope ANYONE get's shot, that is such an awful thing for you to wish upon anyone.

    Shame on you.

  • If you werent such a dumbass you would have read the apology i already said for that so dont try and sound like a good guy by repeating what others have already said

  • I don't have to try to sound like a good guy. We all have bad days, it NEVER excuses what you said!

  • So what was your bad day? Maybe mine was something pretty devastating did you think about that? So before you keep flapping your mouth, maybe think about who you are talking to and find out why it was the way it was because maybe Obama being elected had something to do with it!

  • What do you mean I didn't have a bad day and I wasn't rude and if I am I don't try to pawn it off on having a bad day. Try stabilizing those emotions with meds or soemthing.

  • Wow, I personally do not care for Obama. I am not entirely "pawning" it off on having a bad day. The only reason it would be bad if he was murdered, is that there are many countries around the world that would be extremely angry, and of course the racists that voted for him, and yes black people can be racist, would start riots. Those would be the bad things, but other than that I can't see why we need a socialistic president AGAIN.

  • Hmm ALL good points. but you missed the most important point, no good man deserves to die. ???

  • uh, I think it is already implied that he is not a good person. I mean of course unless you like communism? Maybe, uh looking into Marxist books? Any way it has been implied the he is not a good person.

  • Very invalid point. Even if I thought you weren't a good person. I would wish nothing bad for you to happen. I hope you can have the same outlook for others !

  • I know I dont like the fact of people being killed cause of this. But look at his plans and crap that he has done the thing I hate is people saying he is going to bring change but the problem is he has no clue what he is doing our government is getting more and more corrupt the more money they earn. What happened to our freedoms and rights? The amendments and crap are slowly taking it away..

  • You're just pissed because you know that Republicans are scumbag motherfuckers, and they LOST BIG!

  • Liberals were the cause of this Mortgage mess. In the Clinton era, liberals approved the lending of mortgages to low income families who could barely afford to pay the loans back. Then there is Jimmy Carter who screwed everything up. Reagan had to fix his whole mess, and he did. Anyways,America ignores the past 8 years of Liberal smear-jobs on President Bush? Who's the scumbag motherfuckers now?

  • 250,000

    200,000

    What will it be on Jan 20th if Obama wins?

  • gin, if Obama wins on January 20th, probably drop down to around 30K. Wouldn't doubt it. Already saw the numbers. Obama's going to double our taxes. No joke. No lie either. But, that 55% Estate Tax from the current 0% is the one that scares me off.

  • Bush cut all tax brackets. For example the lowest wage bracket was increased from 11% to 15% under Clinton. Bush passed tax cuts when he took office that reduced the lowest wage bracket from 15% to 10%. So, any guesses on what happens when the Bush tax cuts expire? You should never believe the pandering slick talk from politicians. Do your own research on the tax history and rates.

  • Senator Obama's Four Tax Increases for People Earning Under $250k By Ned Barnett

    In 2000 Obamas benchmark year -- you would have paid significantly more taxes for the income you earned in 2007. The Bush Tax Cuts, which Obama has said he will allow to lapse, saved you money, & without those cuts, your taxes will go back up to the 2000 level. Obama doesn't call it a "tax increase," but your taxes under "President" Obama will increase -- significantly.

    American Thinker C0M

  • I think alot more people will be making $249,999 in the future.

  • Good point, and in the fundamentals of economics, this will be a disaster. If people are discouraged from making more than 250K, then the country would be losing wealth. People would stop working, and there would be nothing to buy or live off of. This is why if Obama be elected, I foresee an economic crisis similar to that of the Soviet Union or the People's Republic of China during their mass starvation in 1958.

  • Obama Will Just Let Bushs Tax Cuts EXPIRE!

    READ ALL ABOUT IT!

    Senator Obama's Four Tax Increases for People Earning Under $250k

    By Ned Barnett (AMERICAN THINKER C0M)

    Those implausible promises made me look at what I'd been paying before President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, as well as what I paid after those tax cuts became law. I chose the 2000 tax tables as my baseline -- they reflect the tax rates that Senator Obama will restore by letting the "Bush Tax Cuts" lapse.

  • Yeah... with Obama, you'll pay far more taxes. McCain you don't. Those Bush tax cuts are prime. People forget how much they saved from Bush's tax cuts. I think everybody needs to wake up! Obama's gonna take all our money, and punish people who are successful and even average middle class individuals will pay more taxes.

  • You are as stupid as the next person, and don't even know what Bush's tax cuts are. The lower and middle income have been disproportionally taxed now for eight years. When taxes are taken from their pay checks they paid at a tax rate of 38% Warren Buffet at 17%. Is that your idea of fair?

  • The tax increase that Obama will put in place (should he become President) will affect everyone. Many Americans have missed the point that President Bush's tax cuts (across the board) were temporary. The current tax rates that we all are paying (regardless of income) will increase in 2010 when Bush's policy expires... unless the new President extends those cuts. Barack Obama has NOT mentioned one word of extending these cuts; however, John McCain has.

  • Interesting point, but although on paper those tax cuts were 'temporary', Washington had every intention of extending those taxes. If you earn less that 250k then you won't see any increase in taxes - isn't that a good thing. At the end of the day, McCain's policies are the same as Bushes policies. I like John McCain I think he is a respectable man and he fought for this country and I honor him for that, but I just can't tell the difference between him and Bush.

    INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

    They would have gotten much more if the original Democratic version of the federal rescue bill had passed. It gave to groups such as ACORN 20% of any profits from the future resale of acquired mortgages, a massive potential rip-off of taxpayers.

    "House Republicans worked together to stop the majority from using taxpayer dollars to fill a slush fund created just for ACORN. Boehner said

  • just to be fair, this tax increase will affect what percentage of America????

    cuz you made it sound like it's for everybody.

  • Notice that these taxes relate to THE WEALTHIEST in America. So I'm all for it. I make under 250 a year and so does everyone in my neighbour. I don't see why the rich get a bigger tax cut than I do!  FUCK WITS.

  • Well if your all for it, you are a freaking idiot. You can honestly look at someone who makes over $250,000, man to man, and take the money he worked for? That is pathetic. Spreading the wealth is nothing but welfare. I make less than $250K a year and I DO NOT think it is right. Most of these people worked hard to get to where they are at. I am working hard to get there as well, but if I am going to be taxed when I get there, bums like you better get a job, cause you aint getting my money bitch!

  • Dude you are dead on, but most of these kool aid drinkers of obama's dont even realize he's gonna hike taxes on everybody!! including people at 42000 and less

  • For your information, I do have a job and I probably make twice what you make. But regardless, there's no need to call me a bitch, haven't you heard of a respectful discussion. I don't mind paying higher taxes because if I can help someone out in some way and I can afford it, then why not? It's the Christian thing to do and considering we are a "Christian Nation" (against abortion because it's murder but for war? What the??) it's something we should do and not be selfish.

  • Well first of all, I apologize for the name calling, I am just frustrated. 2nd of all, if you make good money, you ALREADY pay higher taxes. The taxing program in this country works as it is, as long as so much fraud wasn't put into the system. We reward welfare recipients with more money as long as they keep spitting kids out. Now to take from the successful and give to the people that make less money is ridiculous. Where is the incentive to succeed? Nowhere. People will prefer their welfare.

  • Christians don't agree with TAKING or STEALING from someone else. One, it's against free will (which is how Satan wanted things to be) and two, it only creates dependency upon a system and hold people down. Jesus taught CHARITY, not government stealing of your earnings. Big difference!

  • Thomas Jefferson would agree with you, Dobblin. Thomas Jefferson said, "To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.'"

  • XYZ Plumbing Income $ 51,000

    Employee #1 $ 50,000

    Employee #2 $ 50,000

    Joe the Plumber $249,000

    Since no one, or company is making over $250,000 No one gets a tax increase.

    Simple Business economics 101....

  • Think outside the box. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT YOUR PAYCHECK DUH! He wants to raise the fed tax on gas. He wants to raise taxes on houses, new cars, and other peronal items. He makes it sound good by telling you all how much you will be getting back, but he fails to tell you what you are going to have to spend elsewhere. Read his tax plan. Use your head for something other than growing hair.

  • Maybe Obama will find a way to give a dollar more this his half brother who makes a dollar a month maybe Obama can buy him a pack of gum so we can boost him up as man of the year

  • why does he want to raise taxes, when were already hurting right now. I believe he is truely a socialist.

  • well then, you don't kno what true socialism is , and you havent read the fine print of his plans...LOOK IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS VID, and you'l lsee the Proof ill give why this isnt so..

    BTW, im a economice studeng at college, and i've checked with prof's , so i KNO what im talking about...anyway, go to the vid's comments, and you'll see why he wont hurt the country

  • why does he want to raise taxes in the first place? who cares if they make more than 250,000 they obviously work hard for it and dont need to be bullshitted around.

  • u are an idiot, that's why you don't make enough money. obama made $8mill last year and he doesn't have a problem w/ paying a lot in taxes. only under-employed losers barely off wlefare have a problem w/ taxes. go to hell

  • dude im still in school chill out and im not an idot

  • i would rather have mccain.

  • what's the deal with obama sending tax returns to people who don't pay income tax? Do I got that right? What's the reasoning behind this?

  • Votes pennywise, votes.

  • I got a question, can someone help me out please. If I build a home and lets say it cost me $150,000 to build it, and then I sell it for $200,000. The 15% capital gain tax I pay, would that be of the $50,000 profit I got? Which is $7,500 tax after sale. Or is my capital gain tax going to be from $200,000, the sale of the house. Which I will have to pay $30,000 in taxes, and only take $20,000 profit. Also the %15 capital gain tax is that all across the USA, or is it different from state to state?

  • If your selling your primary residence then you fall under the exemption. If your selling a fix up , spec , vaction home etc... then your rate is 15% on the profit. Under Obama it would almost double. Because under socialism profit is a bad word and all proceeds go to the government for redistribution ....

  • I think you are wrong about not paying capital gain tax if you sell your primary residence, I think you still have to pay capital gain tax if you sell for more then you bought/build, unless you lived there for 2 years.

    Ye I hate Obama too

  • the country is screwed if McCain is elected -- bye bye jobs; hello war.

  • @bigsoundz :

    Have you had your head in the Sand?

    Obama said he would increase the war in Afghanistan and INVADE Pakistan...

    Ignorance is Bliss, and you are Blissful.

  • Obama and ACORN - TWO THIEVES that this country does NOT need !

    Obama is a scum bag along with his buddies at ACORN

  • why would he raise taxes on our country, when were already paying a fortune for everything?

  • Okay, so we're making progress: we're not at risk of communism, we are at risk of socialism with Obama. I guess if you make over $250/k a year you might think that if your taxes go up a bit. 95% of the country don't share this view though.

  • The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 29% of all taxes.

    The Top 5% of taxpayers pay 50% of all taxes.

    Moreover, America has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world

  • Here is a test on the economy. Ask someone who used to travel overseas what the dollar bought during Clinton's and Bush's terms. Clinton was also accused of 'socialism.' You will learn that the US dollar doesn't buy squat anymore (not at home, not oveseas). McCain will continue this trend.

  • well said

  • you dumbass...with the market crashing now there is no captial gains to tax ( just as an example) the big buissness is going to go over seas once obama gets in and the democrats litterally caused the market to crsh...so with the ritch CEO's over seas theres no one to tax big bucks so his (its up to 1.27Trillion $ new spending )withthe money being printed by fedral reserves...the more these democrats print the less our doller is worth even as much as 20-40% Before obama gets out it will behorble

  • The value of a currency is not based on one indvidual or even president. To credit the appreciation of the dollar or blame the devaluation of the dollar on one person has no basis for a valid argument. In recent weeks the dollar has been appreciating relative to other major currencies.

  • Hmmm you know most of these tax numbers apply ONLY to people making over 250,000 dollars per year. This is terribly misleading. The only thing I hate about all of this is no one is being objective.

  • House democrats want to abolish 401k plans. Democrats call this tax break a subsidy and they call Obamas proposed entitlements programs a tax cut. Wake up America.

  • There is absolutely no doubt that Obama will tax each and every one of the 60% of Americans who pay income taxes. This will be equal to hardworking Americans, already taxed to the hilt, writing a check to the unproductive and lazy 40% for doing nothing. Obama's principal objective is redistribution of wealth. This will result in nothing but "trickle-up poverty".

  • (1) Nobody is saying no taxation, we're saying no increase in federal programs that lead to higher taxes on ANYONE!

    (2) Read the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

    Read: The Federal government is HUGELY overstepping its bounds with nearly every federal program - WE WANT THIS CRAP TO STOP, OBAMA WILL ACCELERATE IT TO OBLIVION!

  • First, nowhere in the Constitution does it say that we are a capitalist nation. Second, Obama will not turn the country into "a communist" nation. The difference is that Obama's plan requires those making more than $250k/yr to pay a slightly higher marginal tax rate, while the rest of average working families get a tax break. You have to have taxation: infrastructure (roads, bridges, fire dpts., emergency shelters, etc.) aren't paid for by Santa Claus.

  • Hey dip-shit, Obama can say he is not going to raise taxes, on everyone, while saying he would let Bush's tax cut expire. Call it what you want. Unless your on welfare, your going to pay more taxes with obama in office! Keep telling yourselves your taxes wont go up.

  • arti,

    And they can thank us all for paying for their welfare and educating their kids and giving them foodstamps, and paying their utility bills! But of course, it's NOT enough...nah..they want MORE from my wallet

  • That slightly "marginal"rate as you say it almost 10% MORE than what the highest bracket pays out. They pay out more, so that those at the bottom, WHO DON"T EVEN PAY ANYTHING, get checks...in addition to the damn welfare, utility subsidization, food stamps that they already get, WHILE PAYING FOR NOTHING!

    If that's not what my family experienced in the USSR, I don't know what is!

    COMMUNISM at its finest...

  • hey, Bigsoundz...your local property taxes pay for all the infrastructure that you mentioned....that's LOCAL property taxes. Your income taxes pay for the freebies that all the deadbeats get...while they pay for NOTHING!

  • No it will be SOCIALISM at it's finest. The roads, bridges come from our gas taxes. The fire depts come from our state and city taxes, I do not know where there is an emergency shelter. That also would come from state taxes. Federal taxes go to WELFARE programs and pork. Senator's, congressman salery and pentions.

  • No answer to what we are saying?Just like your boss man. Your right, Obama will not turn the USA communist, he will turn us socialist. It will be your fault..

  • One of the saddest aspects of all is that our children, friends and loved ones, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents fought and died in many wars to destroy the kind of soul-destroying, freedom-robbing thuggery that is on the march here. They bravely fought to preserve freedom and democracy here & around the world.

    Now, all of those sacrifices will have been in vain as Obama is not seen for the Marxist that he is; the death of our freedom will come not from a gun but by the ballot box.

  • It is industrial-strength stupid to punish those that create jobs and make investments!

    The "rich" people that own and grow businesses and/or make investments, will cease to do so when faced with such a confiscatory tax attack.

    Here's a quick quiz: Which of the following actions that an over-taxed business will take is of benefit to Americans?

    (1) Layoffs

    (2) Raise prices

    (3) Move some or all work overseas

    (4) Go out of business

    Get a clue people... don't you see this coming??

  • There is no way he won't be able to raise everyone's taxes, and I'm not just talking about the 250K or more salaries. He and Congress are going to realize that it won't be enough, and you can bet everyone's taxes are going to go up.

  • wow what a douche... i honestly dont know how anyone could possibly vote for this idiot. If THAT is running our country we are screwed

  • He is completely raping the successful/hardworking- those in the upper 10% of wage earners already pay 70% of the taxes in this country- and now he wants us to subsidize the lazy even more? Whats worse is that his plan amounts to Welfare, as the bottom 40% in this country pay No federal tax- yet under Obama they would GET A CHECK from the governement- his plan is a fancy way of calling for more welfare/socialism, and disguising it by calling it a tax cut

  • OMG...what more do we have to endure

  • Please help me understand where it states ANYWHERE that I am responsible to put money in your pocket, food on your table, pay for your utility bills, pay your kids' college, and that you are permitted to steal it from me??? Please...show me where it states this in our Constitution...I was busy working the day they said it on MSNBC so I must have missed it.

  • Obama is a lying opportunist. His plan calls for tax cuts to the top wealth earners in the U.S. but always fails to mention that those earners pay over 35% of all income tax in the U.S. I own a business with current net profits of $425K before taxes. The increases I will be forced to pay under Obama's plan will bring the net to $380K. No big deal, you say? Well I will lay off two workers and outsource my admin work to India instead. Now there are two more unemployed people added to the pop.

  • Obama is a lying opportunist. His plan calls for tax cuts to the top wealth earners in the U.S. but always fails to mention that those earners pay over 35% of all income tax in the U.S. I own a business with current net pre-tax profits of $425K. The increases I will be forced to pay under Obama's plan will bring the net down to $380K. No big deal, you say? Well I will lay off two workers and outsource my admin work to India instead. Now there are two more unemployed people added to the pop

  • This chart is misleading because it does not show in what income ranges the taxes will increase. I heard the increase was for those making over $250,000. Sounds fair to me. If you make 250,000. or more, what are you complaining about? I think you will still be able to pay your mortgage and buy groceries.

  • You're an drooling idiot and this is why people like you ]will always be broke hoping the "rich" guy gets taxed. And end up voting for socialists like Obama.

    Do you know that there are people out there making a million dollars a year and are struggling? To make more money, you take big risks, some investments go bad, people sue your company, insurance doesn't always pay, you have legal battles. You have payroll to meet and payroll taxes, downturn in the economy can bust you. etc etc etc.

  • If the Bush tax cuts expire, and the average $40,000/yr wage earner sees his/her taxes increase by just 2% ($800), how can Obama possibly justify a $500 wealth redistribution check as a tax "decrease"? Also, Obama wants to tax profits on home sales at 28%. McCain will not profits on home sales under $500,000. How is this an Obama "tax cut" again?

    Obama supporters chant: "Obama! Obama! Obama!"

    McCain supporters chant: "USA! USA! USA!"

    Wake up America. Obama has pulled the wool over your eyes.

  • there is stupid and there is so stupid it becomes funny, to say John McCain's tax plan is better for the middle class is down right insanity or at best just idiotic, no one will buy what you selling no one in middle class America that's for sure, if you're in a business of selling crap then go to china it's going to be stoped here in American starting January when Obama becomes the President.

    Obama/ Bidden 08.

  • thank you i was waiting for more intelligent ppl to show up on this stupid video

    hez not gonna raise taxes unless ur the few percent that makes over $250000 a month

  • even if obama taxes big companies they will just raise their prices and cut jobs to keep the money comming to them

  • exacly thats why im not voting for him

  • The "Fair Tax Plan" is anything but fair. the average worker spends a much higher percentage of his money on the things that are taxed, while the rich, can save a much higher percentage of their income. so once again, the rich get taxed almost nothing comparatively, while the little guy carries the load. Republicans are really good at naming things in a way that makes them hard to oppose (i.e. fair tax,pro-life,no child left behind) but the fact is that their plans screw the real joe six-pack.

  • have you even read the "FAIRTAX" plan? It does nothing of the sort. Supposed "rich" people spend WAY more than us regular folk, and therefore would pay WAY more in taxes. Not to mention things like clothing, food, and everyday neccecities are exempt. That leaves the poor OUT of the equation. Do a little reading and then spout off.

  • Check out the fair tax. I think you're are talking about something else.

  • Obama wants to raise the minimum wage to $9.50. This means that he will make some people a little richer, while others will lose their jobs, causing unemployment and the number of people on welfare to rise. Also, the total manufacturing cost of all products made in the US will go up... making it cheaper to import parts and to buy imported goods.

  • So posting rigged numbers is your approach?

  • Wall St. Journal is wrong. Obama wants to lower taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 per year. If you earn less than that, your taxes will actually be lower than when Regan was in office!

  • What Obama wants is income redistribution and to raise taxes on the achivers of america i remember the clinton years i felt his pain also as i had to pay taxes every year while he was in office and Obama will do the same

  • 95% of small businesses make less than 250k annually

  • Obama will destroy this country!!!250K OR HIGHER The taxes will apply to large and small business owners and trickle down to the consumer and the employees- HIGHER PRICES FOR GOODS,LESS PAY FOR EMPLOYEES AND HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATES.The tax breaks will not compensate for the increase in consumer goods.Most Obama supporters donot understand the CHANGE.

    $20,000,000,000 of the 700 bil. bail out originally was ear marked for ACORN not the American tax payer. Acorn employed Obama??????

  • Amen. Come move with me to New Hampshire. I plan to succeed from the union if Obama gets elected.

  • best ideas FROM OBAMA !

  • if you make over 250K, you will pay a bit more in taxes. The actual tax plans are published and conflict with the altered versions in a few publications. The Repubs will Lie to get elected. Not the first time.
