Paul with all due respect, that has to be the most contradictary statement I have ever heard. The logic in this statement is missing. If anything you answered your own question. Yes he is saving 5% of American's money BY letting those in lower income brackets KEEP more of what they make. To me it looks like a win win cituation.



=admin]if you make 50k a year you are probably paying around what 24% in taxes which is approx $11500 - so if Obama gives Joe a taxe break Joe would actually be making 40k... um ya i think uncle same is getting enough from Joe. Have you tried living on 40k before? Can you own a home on 40k? Support a wife/kid(s) on 40k?
In my eyes this comes down to personal responsibility. If you are only making 40K a year and you know there is no way you can afford to do those things then why do it?

Where does Mike say he's combining business and personal taxes. The scenario stated that Jim made $1 million a year and pays 350k a year in taxes. Also I don't understand how democrats or anyone for that matter can sit here and say they don't feel sorry that the government is taking away 35% of someone else's income. How do you think you would feel if you bust your ass to make $1 million bucks and the government comes in and says hey sorry but we're gonna have to take 35% of what you made this year to give it to some other guy who 9 times out of 10 is capable of making money but would rather work the system so he can sit on his duff? The line of logic of so what if the government takes a huge chunk of money from a guy who makes a million bucks of half a million bucks or a quarter of a million bucks because at the end of the day he still has more money than me doesnt make any ****ing sense. The point is that it's still that guys money and HE had to WORK for it.

Opposition? What opposition? Bush has vetoed almost nothing in the 8 years he has been there.
