I think it's necessary and was possible without this fiasco illicit war as were the building of new college universities and the ability to staff them and provide tuitions for years. The infrastructure is another major timebomb that is ignored.
On the redistribution of wealth, I'm still wondering why my taxes go to cutting corporate taxes, so I'm quite happy about redistribution of wealth.
Several new McCain ads show alleged business owners talking about Obama not ever having to meet a payroll. I don't know what that's like either, but know what it's like to pay my bills on time and worry about when the new ones are coming in. I don't think it's that much different, so how about a tax cut for middle class at the expense of corporate America, and corporate salaries with non bid multi year contracts to Halliburton, Blackwater, tax breaks for Exxon? Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Afa I can see exactly what you mean, I understand.
you would rather see more taxes on rich, more money go to middle class.
Its just that the people known as rich already pay a huge portion of the total overall % of federal tax, and the poor to lower middle class pay nothing already. 0 %.
Can't pay no less than that.
But they can get checks in the mail every year for like $5,000. And they already do, depending on maritial status and the amount of children they have.
I guess its all about expectations at this point.
I've heard Obama and Biden say there will be higher taxes for those who make over 250,000, 200,000, and 150,000.
Which is it? I don't know.
Nobody does except them at this point.
Personally I suspect the GOV under the leadership of these guys will increase taxes for those who earn much less, especially if they're single or married with no children, and give more to those who already pay very little or no federal income tax at all.
but its all speculation and expectation at this point.
Its just taxes man, they're insane these days.
If you own a house and say make 50,000 a year.
between fed tax, state tax, social security, property tax (huge), sales tax, gas tax, energy taxes, and about 10 other misclaneous taxes the GOV has made it almost impossible to survive,exist.
Will obama decrease these taxes for the true middle class?, I doubt it.
Its gotta end one way or another or almost everybody will wind up in the poorhouse, whether you work or not.
And the more who wind up in the poorhouse due to insane taxes will only mean a higher tax burden on others.........until they wind up there too.
Its funny, I can't live in the town I grew up in because i can't afford 15,000 ( for a bungalow)to 40,000 dollars a year in property tax, however half the people who live there pay nothing and are on welfare.
The whole thing is just frustrating.
