IF the economy is the #1 issue in America why would you vote for McCain? He stated not long ago (Sept 15,2008) that the fundamentals of our economy is good:blink:. Seriously? Then just today or yesterday, he said the problem with the economy is corporate greed and would have a commission (much like the like 9/11 commission) study it. WTF?! So basically he is saying he doesn't want to deal with the economy! AND lets not forget his TOP economic advisor stated just a few months ago in JUNE/JULY of THIS year that there was nothing wrong with our economy and that the American people were a bunch of "whiners". Does this sound like a person who is for the people? It is just infuriating to me that this race has become "tight"! I mean it's pretty bad when Karl Rove says the McCain campaign is lying and running a bad campaign!! UGH I will never understand what people see in McCain!

more like 37%.

So how much higher would the government have to hike your percentage before y'all were like "woah...that's not fair"?

honestly - don't know , don't feel the pinch many others do, thankfully. so your probably asking the wrong person that question.

Ok, then....in theory, how much can the government tax the wealthiest 1% of Americans before it's not fair to them?

I'm not picking on you, Lulu....you're just one of the few that can debate the actual question without calling Bush "the devil", or how Palin is a nazi, Obama is a muslim, etc. Hey, I think I'll make that a new thread question.

luluc, can you provide clarification on your statement that "DH and i are maxed as far as what uncle sam can take from us in taxes. we pay qtrly, and it's an obscene amt." Did you mean you can't afford for Uncle Sam to take more from you, or did you mean you're at the top end of the tax bracket? I was reading it as the former, but based on your subsequent posts, I'm thinking it was the latter?

plain - i say w/all honesty i have no answer to what is fair and what is not.

to call baby bush the devil is really easy, least here in NTX - it's actually a sport. palin, well - DH and i are convinced she will do just fine after the election ... who knows; she may take bill o'reillys spot...(crossing fingers)

:thumbs_up::rolleyes2::blushing: That was awesome! Doesn't she need a brain to be on TV?!? Oh, of course not...Hasselbeck doesn't have one! :sad_smile:

If she is elected VP she thinks she is going to be the leader of the Senate. She thinks she well help with legislation.

Please, she is an embarassment!

Really? Elizabeth Hasselbeck thinks that? Those ladies on the view are outta control! First it was Rosie O'D claiming that fundamental Christianity and Judaism were as dangerous as Muslim fundamentalists (as well as saying that the US government was behind the terrorism on 9/11). It's sad that Hasselbeck can't be as intelligent as Rosie.

What are you talking about? The person that said Hasselbeck needs to replace Bill O'Rielly hit the nail on the head. Hasellbeck is just as out of touch as McCain and Palin. Oh but Palin is so much more out of touch than everyone put together. She is such a slap in the face of our political system. Not because she is a women, but for so many reasons that I just can't put into this post. What was McCain thinking? Does he really think this country is that stupid? OMG! Oh and I think using religion to promote violence is wrong no matter what religion it is just to adress your post "plain."

Plain, you just plain make me laugh. Have you seen "An American Carol"? The Rosie caricature in that is hilarious.
