They never showed up on the site yesterday. The site just went down for maintenance, so I'll bet they turn up any second...

You might still have a chance.

Thanks MP.

I did a look on ebay, sheesh, the prices people are asking for this. For that kind of money screw Obama, I'd buy another Valentino poster!

Oh my god, scaeagles disagrees with a Democrat on economic policy!!?!! Stop the presses.

For the record, Obama and Clinton differ very little in their stated tax plans. So much so that Hillary's camp is calling Obama's plan "plagiarisms" (rest assured, that had it differed more, the criticism would have been that it was "naive").

I'm being mocked for expressing that I think his tax policy is scary????

Hillary has scared me without needing to know much about her specific policies that I don't know about. Obama as a person doesn't scare me me, but his policies are starting to more and more.

I think they're just amused by their "not surprised"-ness. Because nobody expects that you would like a democrat's spending plan. Hey, you have every right to be freaked out by it, and you have a political history that indicates you would be.

Well, somebody has to pay for Mr Bush's little war. Personally, I'd rather it be the rich and the big corporations than the poor and middle class.

I am going to have to do the research again (I think all the work I did last time was on Fab's board which crashed), but the wealthy ALREADY pay most of the taxes.

And why should "Big Corporations" be subject to higher tax rates? This has never made any sense to me. It will just drive more work (JOBS) overseas as well as other effects detrimental to the US Economy.

And the question that so far I have never been able to get anyone on this board to answer is: what is wealthy? Is the top 10% of wage earners consider wealthy? 5%? People who make over $100,000? $200,000? $1,000,000?

Big Corporations don't pay taxes. If big corporations are hit with a tax increase, it is simply passed along to the consumer.

Visibile mojo to Kevy. When the top 10% of the population pay 80% of the taxes (or whatever it is exactly), of course that's where the tax reductions go.

Only goods with perfectly inelastic demand curves is this true.

If I recall correctly, it was a lower number than 10% that payed 80%. I gotta look it up again.
