Yes, I'm well aware of exactly what taxes I pay.
My comment was pure sarcasm, since obviously it's not true that I won't have to pay any taxes under Obama. I'm sorry you're not able to grasp such a simple concept.
I call out your stupidity point-blank (all the time BTW) and you say "just joking". it's cool, you got schooled and you know it. Happens a lot to you. Good night now.0 -

The evaporation of the middle class is a upward motion largely, as most evaporations are. As in, we go from middle- to upper-middle and so on, this so-called assault on the middle class, at least in a true conservative policy context, is bullshit. It's liberal idealism that keeps people down. History.
Again, where has all of the liberal policies (like welfare and abortion) gotten us over the last 40 years? Have we defeated poverty? Have we stopped crime? All these ideals in practice are an abject failure, and so will Obama's tax plan.
And demand does supply some jobs (i would argue ingenuity is a far greater vehicle for jobs: it's not like we had a demand for a computer before Bill Gates and that "other guy"), but two questions:
1. who fills the demand? Who owns the stores where we satisfy this demand?
2. what goods and services are we demanding?
Haha! I love it! You had to bring abortion into it, didn't you? Doesn't matter whether it's relevant or makes sense, just be sure to get that dig in against abortion.
I swear, I couldn't write a better comedy than this. I'm gonna go make some popcorn to enjoy the show...0 -

You are out of your mind, largely. :rolleyes:
How many American families have lost their homes this year?
How many more families are without health insurance since 2000?
This is the middle class moving upward?
Upward to where? The top floor of the local homeless shelter?0 -

that doesn't have a whole hell of a lot to do with the topic at hand (see thread title), but if you throw enough shit on a wall...0 -

And you have the gall to call others stupid?

Dude, seriously, what the fuck are you talking about???? I'd love to see even one example of one time you've ever "schooled" me and/or I've said "just joking".
I think you are living in some sort of alternate reality. Have you stopped taking your meds?0
