...or Redistribution. Since 40% of households pay no taxes, Obama's "Tax Break for 95% of Americans" will simply redistribute the money of hard working Americans. Sounds a lot like buying votes.

It's exactly like buying votes - no question about it at all. He plans on taxing those over $250k and spreading the wealth to the middle class. Since the majority of American's don't make $250k, they stand to gain from him being elected. Hence, his campaign is very clever but he is appealing to those folks who want a handout. I just wish he would be more clear in his statements. Maybe something like this:

"I, Barack Obama, will buy your votes. Listen to me America: If you vote for me, I will tax anyone who makes over $250k and redestribute that to you. Yes, I know those folks had to work harder to make that $250k but it doesn't mean you should suffer because you chose not to. If you vote for me I will reward you with rich peoples money. Yes, I know I sound like Robin Hood but it worked for Robin Hood so I decided to try it myself. Understand this, America, I'm not expecting you to do anything for yourselves. I, Barack Obama, will take care of you and I will guarantee you I will give you something you haven't earned. No, you don't have to leave your spot on the couch to earn this money. Have another bag of potato chip's, drink another beer, fart, scratch yourself and thank God you're in a country where I can make it easy for you. America - vote for me and I will give you rich peoples money!"

poor Peter....

Every time I see his face...I feel like I just got kicked in the Peter...

THIS IS WRONG!

In the cartoon, he is wearing a cashier's uniform and working for the guy with the box.

But, we all know, he NEVER WORKED AT A REAL JOB A DAY IN HIS LIFE.

This cartoon is offensive to hardworking cashiers everywhere...

I suppose everybody here thinks NAFTA is a good thing also......

Sure, move my job to Mexico and then complain about having to shoulder more of the load than I do. I get it.

When he is president, what are you all going to do? I work my tail off and I don't make 250K a year. Not even close. If you make 1/4 mill. I'd like to think you can afford to spread a few G's around. It's not about "hand outs." It's about people to just aren't making that kind of money. I've seen reports on TV about teachers in North Dakota who have been in the school system for 22 years making 26K per year! Are you kidding me?! How is that family going to survive in these times on that kind of money with a house and kids?

McCain wants to give 5K to people for healthcare? Does this moron even know what health-care plans cost? My employer shells out 17K per year for my family coverage. What will 5K do to cover my family if I lose this job? THAT IS ROBBERY!

Oh, and "Robery" is spelled "Robbery."

"I'd like to think you can afford to spread a few G's around."

Should I be FORCED to spread a few G's around?

Ultimately, it's about an economy/economic policies that have favored the wealthy for too long. Tax and corporate policies that do not favor the majority of Americans.

I don't know why you are all getting your panties in a bunch over a change in economic policies to favor the majority. For the past 8-10 years, the rich have been getting richer, while the poor get poorer and the middle class is stagnant in terms of income.

And on another note, do you all make over 250k a year? Or do you just regurgitate whatever outrage Rush is spewing?

Amen KMS! It seems everyone must make 250K or more here. & they must be happy the rich get richer while us (me) in the middle class just stays status quoe with no real raises that can help keep pace with the cost of living.

#10.

You're kidding........right?

Nope...look at the facts concerning wealth distribution and how it has changed in the past 10 yrs.

Rush hasn't put out an album in years!

#13.

Well, I can attest to the fact that my personal wealth has increased (save for the recent unpleasentries) in the past 10 years thanks to my hard work and the investments my 403b manages...those investments, by the way, being in large and small companies who's profits reflect my own. The more they earn, the more I earn. It works for me lad.

When ALL the wealth is gone,

it will be fully distributed to

one and to all,

every one will be equal.

Hail, Obama, who saves us from wealth.

It is much easier to "control" the mass population when said population is completely dependant upon you...gimme gimme gimme and i'm yours!! mentality.

you hittin' on me, ferd?

How many of you are employeed by a small business that makes over $250k that will now be paying more taxes?

You guys should check out ****** Morris's book "FLEECED."

That 95% Tax is going to be a cut of the AMT or

Alternative Minimum Tax. This tax was supposed to "Get," the richest 115 people in America. Guess what? That tax would now affect about 84% of Americas Tax payers or those making less than 200K/year. Well, this tax is

unpopular of course, and has remained "Theoretical,"

so how can Obama cut a tax that hasn't even been imposed yet? Oh yeah and what about Capital Gains. Check out the book, it'll turn your stomach as to how the freakin govt screws us!!! bpuls
