Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.

By comparison, Sen. John McCain, the Republican Presidential nominee, in 2007 reported $405,409 in total income and contributed $105,467, or 26 percent of his total income, to charity.

It's the reason that superpowers fall that matters, usually out of complacence with their own hedonism, but I wouldn't expect a liberal to understand history in that much depth. After all, your goal is to repeat it. Palin's clothes again? Sheesh, find a new violin, that one is out of tune. Obama's plan calls for over 2 trillion more in spending than Bush is currently spending. Except he will just be rewarding sloth instead of protecting the world. (which includes you, unfortunately.)

Superpowers always fall, my dear.

It has nothing to do with how Canada does business (of which I'm sure you have NO clue how things are done). LOL!!! Nice try.

Think of how much weaker the country would be if the angry old republican or the $150,000-spending hockey mom you voted for got in! Yikes. Palin picked up more brand-name clothes in one month than the average American HOUSEHOLD spends on clothes in 80 years.

Spend spend spend. It's the American way (well, not for long).

For one, we are still the predominate suprepower in the world, both militarily and economically, and the only reason things started to trend downward is when we started doing things the way they do in CANADA. Leftist policies such as forcing the mortgage industry to lend money to people they knew couldn't pay it back. We will be weakened by this new president, no doubt. But last time this happened (Carter) we swung the pendulum back the other way and grew again.

CAN you even be MORE typical of American rationale to believe you can't make over 100k a year in Canada?

It's embarassing how the rest of the world knows more about solving America's problems than the Americans themselves.

The Americans earning >100k a year are now pulling their hair out at the catastrophic economic situation that their investments are in now. Google "USA FORECLOSURES" for a clue.

Besides, I'm very happy with my >$100k Canadian income, thankyouverymuch. ;)

I support finishing what we start, taking the fight to the enemy, and not leaving the Iraqi's to be slaughtered liek when we abandoned vietnam. I'd rather the rich reinvest in their companies and employ more people, than have profits confiscated to pay for enabling ignorant decision making like they do in Canada. The demographic of US citizens which has grown the most during Bush, has been those earning over 100k a year. CAN you even make 100k a year in Canada?

...so you support the current war?

I'm mostly thankful now the dollars you and all your buddies that support war have to pay for taxes will be for improving your broken country, whether you like it or not.

Under McCain's plan, 58% of tax cuts will go to the wealthiest (which only makes up 1%).

Republicans are always for the rich, leaving the middle/low class in the dust.

i don't know if you were around in 2006 but we threw those bums out. No, the midterms were not a referendum on the war, the republicans stayed home to teach a lesson. Palin has more experience than Obama does by far. I'm supposed to throw her under the bus because she's not up on the latest lib-jargon and halftruths? No, only Obama does that to his friends, pastor, and grandmother.

McCain wants to stay in a state of war (which in a financial sense is obviously not working).

Speaking of warnings, republicans have had well over over 4 years of warnings regarding the 2 you say...so why continue supporting a republican that wants to continue investing in a war that has already created such detriment...and why support a president that chooses a cretin who is about as well-versed as Bush is?

I would like to see a fiscal conservative in the office. (Bush was not) Clinton erased the debt by taking trillions out of the economy with no use for it! The country was in recession, meanwhile he was sitting on a $2 trillion SURPLUS? This to you is good? Democrats had two years to listen to warnings about the economy, they didn't because their buddies were getting bonuses in Fannie and Freddie. Now they have jobs in the whitehouse. I've lived in other countries, that's why I love this one.
