But it is going to hurt anyway. Society's leeches have won. Oh well I have a very good accountant. It does make me sick that illegal aliens are going to get what they want now. Now we are going to have to pay for their college, even though our own citizens have trouble making it through school because of finances. McCain was not much better.

I predict a few years from now we look back and see how big of a mistake this is.


As for now I'm going to buy more guns and ammo.

    Nope, not when the media tells us everything is okay. Big brother is your friend.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    It's gonna be bad.

    Not only is the economy down the drain, we now have a President who wants to raise corporate taxes.

    Nice attitude. :( I'm very glad I'm an optimist. Even if McCain had won, I sure wouldn't be espousing such nonsense.

    Corporations won't succeed if their consumers only have money to spend on their needs rather than their wants. A little tax hike won't hurt them, in fact, they'll probably earn back or more when people are spending again.

    Not at all. I would admit that I was wrong.

    But as of now I feel like Obama will hurt a great number of people, including me. It's a very legitimate concern.

    Corporations have been given too much and now they will give a small amount back. That really is a heart breaker. Allow me to shed you a tear.

    I can't wait to do well enough financially to reach a higher tax bracket, especially if those taxes go towards feeding and healing and teaching people instead of lining the pockets of those who seek to enrich themselves through violence and destruction.

    Nobody knows for sure what kind of leader Obama will be, but the best thing for the United States of America would be his becoming one of the truly great Presidents. We should all be able to agree on that, regardless of party affiliation.

    Agreed!! It's about time the corporate whores (sadly I work for one, don't like it) pay some more money, instead of get some, it won't hurt them at all. A week ago my company gave us all a letter stating how "one parties" tax plan will make our company have to pay extra taxes and how all of us need to figure out how to help save. FUCK THAT, how bout the rich VP's and execs figure that out, that's why they get paid numerous times what I do!!

    The wealthy have already given very much back. They already pay 95% of all Federal income tax revenue. How much more should they give? Until all their money is gone? That seems to be where we're headed. The very fact that someone has more money than someone else, no matter how much they already pay in taxes, means that they should have that money taken away.

    What's your problem? 25-35 percent isn't "fair share" enough for you?!?! How about you send me 50 percent of your next pay check. Yeah...I'll be sure that goes directly to helping some disadvantaged kid...just like I'm SURE your hero Barack is going to do.

    You seem to want to cheat America through higher taxation and stealing from hard working business owners. What makes you any better?

    I don't think going back to the Pre Bush years is really going to bankrupt everyone. It worked in the 90's it can work now.

    Huh? What are you talking about? My hero is not Barack, sorry to disappoint you.

    50%? Nice argument. I'm a hard working business owner, thank you very much. I don't remember saying I was better than anyone.

    Increasing 3% is not the end of the world. Why don't you try some reality?

    That's what I love... You spout out terms like "fair share", but you refuse to define it. You said it...back it up. I'll ask again..."Bob Smith" is 30 years old, single, and makes 50 thousand per year. What's his "fair share"?

    My god, the ingorance on this board is pathetic.

    My hats off to those people on either side of the middle, who can actually carry on an intelligent conversation.

    But visiting this place reminded me why I never visit this place.
