Joe the Plumber says, "You want it? Go work for it. That's what the rest of us do."

Me? I increased my income last year by $30K and my taxes increased by $20k and I make nowhere near $250k and that is with the current tax structure. Under Obama, we will see the Bush tax cuts eliminated and our taxes increased back to Clinton levels before Obama raises our taxes further to cover his increased spending.

And does anyone think medical care will get cheaper under a medical insurance scheme run by the government? Yea, like when has that ever happened. That $17k plan your employer pays for now will start coming out of your income taxes because the increased corporate taxes will send your company and your jobs out of the country.

Just look at Michigan if you want to see what a Democrat's idea of supporting business has done, unemployment is over 20% there.

Robery? I'm confused. I understand the Ekunnomiks fer Dummiess lessons we're apparently supposed to be soaking in here, but what does the cartoon have to do with robes?

Pac,Pac, Pac: You've got to overlook the typo's. I could spend half my day correcting the errors. You need to install and use an internal filter which allows you to interpret words no matter how they are spelled. If not, you'll spend most of your day pulling your hair out and wondering why people can't spell.

Are those the same poor for 8 years? How many of the poor are illegal aliens?

You can't make the poor rich, by making the rich poor.

Dang Demo's always giving away the farm

Let's see,

I made six figures in 2000, and worked 60 hours a week. I make 10% of what I used to make, and work 72-80 hours a week. We, the taxpayers, just bailed out wall street, and I can hardly support myself??????? I do not worry too much about anyone who makes $250K a year. But there are many thousands of us who made a whole lot more money, and happily paid the taxes, back in the previous century, than make that kind of dough now.

P.S. I will not vote Democrat, or Republican. I vote Libertarian, the only true conservative, at least fiscally, left.

#23 What makes you think I don't already do that?

Besides, I think it tends to blunt the message when one attempts to insult someone and the message looks...well, "challenged".

If you rob Peter to pay Paul, Peter will get sore..... and who wants a sore peter?

Oh, come on now...unemployment in Michigan is only 10%. My friend just got a job! Only took her 3 months to find one. She makes $8 an hour with no benefits.

I talk to folks in the Detroit area almost every day and they are telling me that unemployment is still over 20%. My company just opened a new facility north of Warren and has been hiring technicians to work the production line. One applicant had been an engineer in management at GM making well north of $250k and she was applying for a $9 an hour job. She has been out of work for over a year. Things are very bad in MI.

By the way, here in Huntsville, AL unemployment is less than .5%. Competition for engineers is so tight that starting salaries for engineers just out of school are $55-60k. Think about that and with the understanding that the the cost of living here is low.

We have a Republican governor who actually knows how to attract business to this state and it does not start with raising corporate taxes.
