After the debate a cnn reporter asked obama about his stance on raising taxes on the middle class to support his proposal to raise the $97K max on paying soc sec taxes. He said oh that's only the top 6%, that's not the middle class. I'm not the middle class you commie? I served 4 yrs in the marines, worked my way thru college and am now an engineer making over 97k (about 125k), live in a nice neighborhood pay taxes out the yazoo and have one kid in public schools, my two cars are both fords...and I'm not middle class??? The dems think anyone who pays a bunch of taxes (I paid over 25k last year) they can soak for some more...I'm am sick of their commie ways...I hope the reps get the whitehouse..!!!

It's classic communism, redistribution of wealth. If you have a job you are considered rich.

properly, it says Q. for Reps. and Dems., however the question is obviously directed at Republicans ("are you able to truly be that blind" and so on). would not sound like a real seek for understanding, extra like a rant. Many have faith that reducing taxes on the money makers and job creators DOES trickle down, and that is been confirmed in the previous. Cite some sturdy information that it "in undemanding terms is going into their wallet", and you're able to get some sturdy arguments approximately the way it would not, like while people who create jobs are paying much less in payroll taxes and much less in very own taxes, they have extra to take a place into their business enterprise, which interprets into the will for extra workers and so on. besides, so some distance as i understand, Republicans at the instant are not retaining center classification tax cuts hostage. they're pushing to enhance cuts around the board that have been made years in the past, in simple terms right? they have never suggested that they are unwilling to enhance the cuts for the middle classification in the event that they can't additionally shop the cuts for the optimal manufacturers of wealth. You sound bitter, and that i encourage you to look for extra assistance on the project extremely than in simple terms spewing the party line fed to you by making use of Olberman, Maddow and Matthews.

I missed the debate. I hope that's not true that only the top 6 make above that. That affects my husband and I as well.
We can't afford to pay more in taxes. We live in taxachusetts.
I won't be voting for Obama. I support Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.
Middle class is up to $200,000 a year. Anything above that, you should be doing very well. You should be able to save for the future and feel pretty secure.

Do you have even the first idea how much Bush is bankrupting this country for generations to come with the war in Iraq? Do you realize that we have been sold to the Chinese for the purpose of Bush family revenge and oil favors?
Droning on mindlessly about the "tax and spend" Democrats when a FIASCO of epic proportions is being made by the Republican party right under your nose for you, your children and your grandchildren proves the Republican party faithful have lost any clue they might ever have once had.

do you realize that if you tax the top 6% you will be taxing the corporate world...the corporate world will not take a lost in income..they will raise prices on goods and eliminate jobs...raising taxes is not the answer...eliminate spending, make states more responsible for taking care of low income families...
