Listen to all of you greedy meanines!!!! You mean to tell me you won’t pay a lousy $500 to have The One bestow blessings of upper crust largesse upon you????
The One is going to use his Goodness to ensure that those who prostrate themselves before him with gifts of $500 votes will reap bounties of The One’s blessings.
The One said it himself…he is going to change the world…or leave the world with change after his tax plans…oh, either way, The One loves us and is going to bestow his Goodness upon us and it will only cost us $500 each…….whatta bargain!!!!

Jim I put a post up about the Howard Stern Effect (polar opposite of the Bradley Effect) and have a jpeg from a Wall Street Journal article that shows the difference between the present Tax Plan and the Obama Tax Plan on effective marginal tax rates I called it

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

from the picture it looks to me that EVERYONE except 85k to about 100k gets the shaft.

And didn’t all the non-payers just already get big checks? Like as much as $1500? It seems to have stimulated us all right.

People are truly surprised by this. My husband had a salesman come into his office a month or so ago. Said salesman is voting for Obama. My husband plays his cards close, being a business owner, he never wants to offend his clients, and he just kept them close… until this guy kept going on and finally my husband said something like, “If Obama gets in, and raises my taxes as a business owner, ONE of my employees is going and I have them already picked out. You think I’m going to be the only one who suffers? NO. I’ll have a lay off. Watch me.”

This guy was STUNNED. He kept saying, “You’re going to get rid of an employee if Obama gets in? You already have them picked out?”

My husband was suprised that someone in any type of business would be so surprised that there would be a trickle down effect.

Jimbo, why do you waste your breath electrons on stating the obvious for the benefit of the oblivious?
