McCain's last standFollow

I noticed McCain looked exhausted. At one point, he even had a slight tremor.

Is anyone talking about how Schieffer didn't shake Obama's hand at the end?

A girl getting slapped on the *** coupled with a pie to the face it is not.

According to Obama's tax calculator, I'd see a nearly $1,800 savings with Obama and a $60 savings with McCain.

Winner!

If I lived in Vermont, I'd vote Bernie for Senate.



It's called infrastructure, education, and health-care. The latter two have been put on the back burner for too long.



This is already done. Look out the window sometime.



I sure hope so. I'm sick of this bullshit religious pandering.



So does every Republican politician (supposedly). How's that smaller government working out? By the way, you do realize that governments in the U.S.--federal, national, and municipality--are the largest employers in the country right? Where would you foist all these unemployed folk you seem so determined to eliminate? Welfare and unemployment?



Interesting seeing as Obama is in the Senate and Pelosi is in the House. Perhaps you meant Reid. Cite?



I happen to think diplomacy is a good thing thank you very much. How are those sanctions and terror list working out for North Korea?



This is not what Obama said he would do.



Nuclear power, full steam ahead!!!! Oh for Iran? Sanction and cut them off!!!



False. Three autonomous states, you know, kind of like we have here in the U.S?



200 years of history is =/= to 1200 years.



Really? O'Reilly=Olbermann. Just a different political tilt.

My views. I guess I'm the evil socialist boogeyman. I WANT YOUR MONEY!!!

I go to college full time and work 35-40 hours a week. I pay too much for health insurance. If I go to the hospital for a needed surgery, a 5000 tax credit isn't going to cover it--who's going to pay for that credit by the way? I fully support the idea of universal healthcare. How do we do it? Slash the defense budget.

I'm a pot smoking, deer hunting--yes I live in Madison; a stones throw away from you (shudder)--video game playing, well read, 26 year young male. I bet you voted for that sleazebag Tim Michels when he ran against Feingold. I bet you alos voted for those fucking asshats, Ziegler and Michaels for SSC. God you're a fucking douchebag.

See how I do that?

EDIT: Oops, you were talking to Joph.

Why not do a little more research and find how that breaks down by income bracket?

I'd venture a guess that 95% of the working Americans who don't pay taxes are either in the bottom 20% or the top 20% - at roughly equivalent proportions in each...

For what it's worth, $26,000/year before taxes nets me an annual tax bill of about $50 beyond what's been taken out of my paycheck - or about $1900.

With the qualified exception of gbaji, every Republican I've known to date has been a douchebag.

gbaji is half douche, half "man who swallowed the OED and it's trying to escape through his fingers".

No, I pay $1900 in tax every year.

About $1850 comes out of my paycheck directly, and the other $50 I have to pull out of a paycheck later on.

I'd love to see it drop to $1300 a year with the same $50 coming out in late April, because that means an extra $21 every two weeks that I can fritter away on things like food, electricity, rent, or my state taxes.

EDIT: Also, look up "tax shelters", you ignoramus.

ADDENDUM TO THE EDIT: Whose sock is this shitstain?

Yeah, I'm not one of those people. I pay my taxes. Under Obama, I'll pay less taxes.Thanks. I didn't know I was under some special onus to write a thesis in order to respond to you.

Cite. Go ahead and provide something. According to the treasury department, this is false.

By the way, the whole "People who don't work or pay taxes are still getting a tax cut!!" is a talking point created by Republicans who are distorting Obama's tax policy.
