The health care thing is true!  My father's employer pays his insurance, which costs THEM $12,000 a year. Under McCain, he would have to pay his own, so that's $12,000 that my father has to pay, minus the $5,000 dollar tax credit, which goes straight to the insurance company, =$7,000 dollars a year my father has to pay. P.S. I don't get coverage from my father, I have my own, I'm just using him as an example of how bad senator McCain's plan is. Go OBAMA!!!

[Kengtyme2]

McCain is so busy trying to attack obama he is not talking about the issues. He just does not be a president he pro long the bush era. at least he did not lie as much as he did last debate.

Oh yeah of course that's why I say the Republican party and not all people. I try not to generalize. The lower class is taken care of for the most part even though that needs to be better as well. What I'm concernd about is the middle class. Republican party cares about the rich 99% of the time. It doesn't take an expert to see that as a fact. I personally don't want to live in an oligarchy...that's what it feels like when a Republican leads this country. They're better in small doses.

[Volf99]

Alright I would up to a certain exstent agree with you then if your talking JUST about the party. However would you then agree that there have been Republicans that were not sterotypes and that a PERSON can be republican and still have the interest of the poor or middle class in mind?

[ekserchina]

Don't forget that Abraham Lincoln did not live in 00s so just to remind you...things change over time. This country is completely different than what it was back than. And I didn't say 'republicans as people' but the Republican party. Read between the lines Volf99. Thanks.

[Volf99]

While I'm voting for Obama, I must disagree with you when you say that they "look out for the wealthy and don't care for anyone else". I don't deny the fact that their are republican people who have only the interest of the wealthy in mind. However to say that all Republicans think this way is simply predjuce. Don't forget that a very famous president Abraham Lincoln, was a republican, and is the president credited with freeing black slaves in Amerca, and black slaves certaintly weren't wealthy

[Amazjethroing]

zero!??!

[ekserchina]

I have a feeling esch0486 is scared of Communism. Red scare still in your brain? I'm going to be an educated democrat so I'm not going to tell you to 'f**k off' just because I'm better. I got to you, therefore you try to compensate for your loss by swearing. I do feel sorry for you simple minded esch0486

[ekserchina]

Thanx for the support. We good people of America thank you for supporting our true ideas of democracy and brotherhood. You're right about the Republican party all the way. They look out for the wealthy and don't care for anyone else. Unfortunately there is many people that don't believe in the truth but they rather live in an imaginary world. I'm voting and I'll feel good about it no matter what. Even if Obama/Biden are not what I think they are, they will still be better than McCain/Palin.

I hope he does lower that number, I'm sure he will. In Britain our highest rate of income tax is 40%, and this applies to anyone earning over £34,800 (roughly $70,000).

I think you are hugely mistaken if you think people will be deterred from trying to further their own business interests because of higher rates of tax. Even if they do pay a little more in tax, they will still be getting richer, just less richer! Never underestimate the human desire to accumulate wealth (aka greed).

[pgl0897]

I guess the Republican party is all about protecting the interests of the wealthy elite. The Conservatives (our Republican equivalent) used to be much the same, altho not as right-wing.

I really hope Obama wins. I think it would represent a huge step forward for America, I really do. I have discussed this with a lot of friends here and we really will be shaking our heads in disbelief if McCain gets in.

It's great to hear your views anyhow. Now get out there and vote for change :o)
