i know he claims to want to lower middle class taxes, and raise it on the rich, but i also know he's waffling on that now, as i posted above.

but i'll keep in mind that you're saying he wants to raise taxes other than capital gains, that's good to know as well.

LOL. What you posted was not a news article but rather EXCERPTS garnered from a RIGHT WING BLOG called midwestern voices. Yes, great source there. Millions world wide are reading "midwestern voices" as we speak. LOL.

Surely you can do better than this. Your information is completely inaccurate and your demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge.

Obama has change of heart about Bush tax cuts as polls favor McCain

By Ross Balano, Midwest Voices Columnist 2008

Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama had a change of heart yesterday about one of his major campaign issues; the Bush Tax Cuts.

The Associated Press quotes Obama as now saying that “he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.”

Two things struck me about this comment.

First; he uses the term increase. This is the first time I’ve heard him admit that rescinding the Bush cuts would in reality be a tax increase.

Second; he admits that an increase would hurt the economy.

For about as long as he has been running for president, which seems like forever, Obama has been preaching the woes of the Bush Tax Cuts. For those of you in Alma, those are the tax cuts pushed through congress by President Bush that Obama and fellow Democrats claim were “tax breaks for the rich” and are “shrinking the middle class.” Repealing that work of the evil Bush administration was “job one.” So why the change of heart?

Probably because of people like yourself that keep putting the interests of the rich ahead of their own best interests. If you live an average lifespan, you'll do just fine getting your money back that you put into social security. They are never gunna touch that program, and it's for the reason you just stated: too many people have already paid into it for too many years to change their benefit levels. Anything they do will effect new payers of social security taxes. If the Dems ever let them change it, they will not let them give you less benefits than someone who is getting Social Security now. That's the Republicans that want to start shorting people on their future checks(after paying into it for many years already.) If you or Tony got sick,and couldn't work, then you would get social security now. You would get it now, and probably nobody else but that program would give a damn about your problems.

like i said, i googled and that was first on the list. i thought it was interesting.

and perhaps you can make the freaking rules on posting links when you start your own board, and perhaps you can be condescending to someone else-it doesn't further your arguments.
and perhaps you missed my post in another thread in which i stated i was proabably voting for obama, but i really don't care if you did or not.

no, i think i put my best interests ahead of yours, or the rich folks. i work for my money, and i think i can do a better job of saving for retirement than the govt. unlike many, i look to myself to take care of me, not the govt, and not any social programs.

it's always been a pet peeve of mine when i see your in place of you're. i just think it's funny when someone wants to act as tho they are sooo intelligent, and then use your instead of you're...or exasperate in place of exacerbate. it makes me laugh.

I would have played it the same way if I was in the position you were. Lets (oh, ****, forgot the apostrophe) get away from the topic of not knowing what I am talking about and change the focus to a typo on an internet forum. Great.

I dug around and found your wonderful source of knowledge and enlightenment (did I spell that right?). In the future, you would be wise not to pass off a "column" as an "article". Surely that mistake is more egregious (sp?) than subsituting Your for You're (especially when i used your earlier in the same sentence).

http://voices.kansascity.com/node/2015

In case anyone wanted the link to the "column". In case you didn't know, Danzig, a "column" is a reflection of the writer's opinion. A news article should just be fact.

btw, the second excerpt in that was not from the blog, but can be found in various news articles, as it's a quote, second paragraph below...

Democrat Barack Obama says he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.

"I think we've got to take a look and see where the economy is. I mean, the economy is weak right now," Obama said on "This Week" on ABC. "The news with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I think, along with the unemployment numbers, indicates that we're fragile."

that's from the star tribune in minn/st paul minnesota.
the reason i posted what i used to google was so that if anyone else wanted to check out the results, they could do so without me having to put stuff here. so go google it if you so desire. or not.

Mortimer 09-09-2008 08:35 PM

I knew there must be a reason.

Again, I must reiterate, a blog is not a reliable source of facts. Basically, if you can't find a link to an actual "article" then most likely it hasnt (d a m n apostrophes) been verified as FACT.

Again, in case somehow you still don't understand:

Blog or column: opinion of writer

Article: verified fact

I won't give up on you Danzig.

Mortimer 09-09-2008 08:37 PM

I just got lost in threads.

Where is CP's post?






I must be right...I'm losing my mind.
