Mirroring the public reaction, Obama seems to have gone up a tick in the polls.

Oh, and for the record I don't really support a middle class tax cut as proposed by Obama.

I don't think Obama supports a middle class tax cut as proposed by Obama.

I support repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax before the year, perhaps it''s '09 or maybe 2010, it starts affecting incomes under $70K annual. That's gonna mean a GIANT tax increase for, well, for the likes of me ... and i consider myself, in West Los Angeles, decidely middle class.

So unless that's repealed, which you could view as a cut in current tax law, taxes are going to go significantly up for the middle class. And yet, if that were abolished, revenues would not be lower than they are now.



I don't think that's necessarily the "middle class tax cut" Obama is proposing, but it's one I wholeheartedly support.

I thought you were against income taxes all together, ISM.

Weird commentary from a film critic...

Actually, a film critic reviewing a debate seems like a logical next step given much of the current political coverage.

The debate in one minute ;)

Um, question. Are we going to have a new thread for each debate ... or should we change the name of this one to have a single debate thread?


I think the political threads are proliferating pretty wildly around here .... but maybe that's just me.

that was brilliant, btw. :)
