Obama '08?

Wow. Do you actually believe this is a possibility? Please tell me you are just trying to stir up some **** here.

I don't know what you mean. Got lyrics?

I wish Obama would just show everyone how he can walk on water. Or cure a leper or something. Just once! That would shut these non-believers up for good!

Where they stand on taxes:


OBAMA: Up to $1,000 in tax cuts per middle-class famly. Eliminate income taxes for people over 65 earning less than $50,000.


MC CAIN: Double the personal exemption for dependents to $7,000. Offer taxpayers choice of a simpler set of tax rules.

Our country needs to revert 100 percent to a sales tax scheme where poor people can get rebates by filing a simple rebate form once a year.

teenyboone, I'm not sure there's an easy answer on the general income tax question. One thing for sure is that the tax codes with over 40,000 pages is too complicated and needs to be simplified. No president has been willing to solve this big problem.

Our social security is taxed even though both my wife and I are retired; it's really a stupid way for government to give us retirement benefits then take it away. Our government's incompetence has created a monster called the IRS tax code that nobody is able to interpret - even the workers at the IRS or tax experts.

Interest rates on savings should be rewarded, not taxed. Most people pay more on credit card interest than they can earn by saving money. Doesn't make any sense. Rewards and penalties are ass backwards.

Barack Obama, who won against Clinton on a platform of being less cynical than her, of putting hope and principle over the old partisan ways of Washington, and of restoring the integrity of the political process, has broken his word the day it became expedient. But what's more, he has done his nation a grave disservice.
