Who are you voting for?

[South-Titan]

Obama.

If McCain keels over(unlikely, but possible), then Palin becomes President, and I'm moving to Canada.
--
For those of you who think Obama is Osama in disguise:
He's Half-Kenyan. He's not a Pakistani. Jesus christ you people.
--

For those of you who think you shouldn't vote for a negro:
That's great you asshole, now move to a third-world country so we don't have to put up with you.
--
For those of you who think Obama has zero experience:
Uhh...So why'd he pick Biden?
--
For those of you who think Palin is going to make women proud:
Your religion has opposite day EVERY day?

Obama has had 8 years of senate experience. He picked a VP that would help him strengthen his strong points, not to get votes. (*cough* Palin *cough*)

 

[Seb!]

If McCain keels over(unlikely, but possible)

Actually, according to the few reporters who saw McCain's medical records (without recording devices and only for a short amount of time), McCain has a 1 in 4 chance of getting killed in office just from the cancers that he has.

And with an unexperience Palin in office. Oh boy....

Lol.

Just as 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Reporters are pretty stupid people. How would they know his chances of living? Also, what "cancers" does he have?

You seen his cheek?

You seen his cheek?

Have you seen Biden speak?

McCain's most recent exams show a range of health issues common in aging: He frequently has precancerous skin lesions removed, and in February had an early stage squamous cell carcinoma, an easily cured skin cancer, removed. He had benign colon growths called polyps taken out during a routine colonoscopy in March.

It is McCain's three bouts of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, that raise the biggest health concerns. He has had four separate spots of melanoma removed from his head and arm on three occasions — in 1993, 2000 and 2002. Three spots were very early stage, when they were in the uppermost skin surface and easily cut out.

WASHINGTON - If John McCain is elected and goes on to win a second term, there's as much as a one-in-four chance America could see its first woman president — Sarah Palin.

It's actuarial math.

The odds highly favor either McCain or Barack Obama completing a first term in good health. After that, McCain's odds still are still fairly solid, but his chances of dying or being in poor health go up faster than Obama's, mainly because of his age.

The 10-year survival rate for that intermediate melanoma is 65 percent, said Dr. Stuart Lessin, director of the melanoma risk-assessment program at Philadelphia's Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Also revealed: He has occasional momentary episodes of dizziness, when he gets up suddenly. McCain first told a doctor about them in 2000 — a visit that also uncovered the melanoma — and intense testing concluded they were harmless vertigo. He did not report any episodes at his most recent exam.

Obama's tax plan is fail.

Why?

Look;

Obama would have the top 1% of income-tax payers handing over an average of $93,700 more - to $652,900. McCain would reduce the group's taxes by $48,860 to $510,320. While appealing, it fails to address the impact such a blow to the super-rich's disposable income could have;

These folks tend to plow a lot of their money into businesses -- from family operations to blue-chip stocks -- to say nothing of shopping trips and travel. In other words, cutting their after-tax income could deal another blow to an already-hobbled economy.

Analysis by independent economist Allen Sinai measured the impact of the Bush administration's tax cuts: Without them, GDP would have been 0.7% less each year from 2001-2006, and unemployment would have been 1.2% higher.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beers by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.'

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so: The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before and the first four continued to drink for free, but once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!" "Yeah, that's right,"exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got TEN times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something very important....they didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And THAT, dearest friends, is how the taxes here in America go.

I don't get what your trying to go at.

I think he's saying that Obamas tax plan will make this country go under.
For some reason I doubt that.

It does make sense though.

 

[Prometheus]

What he didn't mention was that the richest guy worked for an oil company, and was making enough money to make you cry.

 

[Oninuva]

Rich to Obama is 150,000$+

 

[sqrage]

It's $250,000 +

And that definitely is rich when my family lives a decent life on just ~$20,000.

 

[Prometheus]

Rich to Obama is 150,000$+

A series of mis-statements were made regarding the level of "rich".
It is 250k.

If he wasn't a democrat it would be a series of lies.

What he didn't mention was that the richest guy worked for an oil company, and was making enough money to make you cry.

Or that the rich guy is the head of a company that's giving out the loans to the other nine so that they can pay for their beer.

Obama's tax plan isn't going to work. It sounds nice up until you realize that there is no longer money for the government to pay for things.

Why? Obama's plan generates more revenue. Plus, it takes heat off of the most important part of the economy: the middle class. This group circulates their income as soon it earns it, which puts money into the economy rather than into banks.
