TAXES Proposed changes in taxes after the 2008 General  election:
  
CAPITAL GAINS  TAX

MCCAIN         
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not  propose any change in existing home sales income  tax.


OBAMA   
28% on profit  from ALL home  sales
              
How does this affect you?  If you sell your home and make a profit,  you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement  and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28%  of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will  adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes  as part of their retirement  income.   
 
DIVIDEND  TAX

MCCAIN        15% (no change)
 
OBAMA         39.6%
       
How will this affect you? If  you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds,  life insurance,  retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests  dividends, you will now be  paying nearly 40% of the money earned on  taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax  rates  on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet  do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.'

INCOME  TAX

MCCAIN          (no changes)
 
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K  - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax  $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax  $31,250
 
OBAMA  (reversion to pre-Bush tax  cuts)
 
Single making 30K - tax $8,400  
Single making 50K  - tax $14,000  
Single making 75K - tax $23,250  
Married  making 60K - tax $16,800  
Married making 75K - tax $21,000   
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
   
Under Obama, your  taxes  could almost double!
            
INHERITANCE  TAX

MCCAIN    0%     (No change, Bush repealed this  tax)
 
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax Many families have lost businesses,  farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations  because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their  assets to loved ones will only lose them to these  taxes.
 

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY  OBAMA
 
New government taxes  proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet.
 
New  gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
 
New taxes  on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water,   electricity)
 
New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not  least....
 
New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can  receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

dhw1949 you are absolutly correct that the sheeple are dazzled by his forked tounge. It simply amazes me that they buy his crap after he has flipped flopped on so many issues its ridiclous, and he cant even give one reasonable example of his so called "change" that he claims he wants for this country, of course if he was to reveal his real agenda he would not get even 1 vote come November.

littlefoot1979 yes he is a nightmare and the American people had better wake the F*#K up before they get eaten alive by the monster called dummycrat. Pelosi and her brood in Congress are the reason this country is well on its way into the ground, if Obama get the election that will just seal the deal and I might have to become Canadian.

tweety there are people out there that have lived generation breeding another generation breeding another on welfare (thank-you dummycrats)and have enjoyed the "freedom" that kind of life style entails. Having more children just to raise their annual income level(as pathetic as that is!)what scares me the most is that Obama seems to think that we need to flip the bill to put the whole WORLD on welfare simply to eliminate poverty worldwide. This is NOT the change I want for this country. To eliminate poverty in this world you must first start by eliminating POLITICAL CORRUPTION. Some of these 3rd world country that are strife with corruption are also some of the most impoverished nations and I for one do not want to be sending them my hard earned tax money. Untill you take that away I do not want to givwe one single dollar to ending poverty.

PJ you go girl, but I doubt(hopefully)that he will win. He has hung himself by being weak, spineless, and wishy-washy on the issues. its like what Scott53 said he changes his mind to many times, You can change the stripes on the tiger to look more like a zebra but in the end its still a LIE.

dhw1949, Im ready to go now buddy, I will sell all my belongings or will give them to goodwill just to fly away from this chicken coup. I want a hammock on the beach under my arse and a pina colada in my hand. Yo-BLEEP yo-BLEEP its a pirate's life for me. Im not that much (less than 10yrs)younger than you are and I seriously do not think I will see and of the thousands of dollars I have paid into SSI through out my liffe, and if I do get Social Security income it wont be enough money to supply me with toliet paper for a month. So I hope that works out better for you. If you and your wife do decide to go will you let me know.

Scott53, Yep I love that one...your a racist if you dont vote for a black man, your a racist if you think that Obama is wrong on an issue, your a racist if you think that Obama can not win the election. Your a racist if you think a black man does not belong in the white house. Your a racist if, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I do know that when people throw out the "race card" they are grasping straws and have no real issue or stance nor do they have anything to debate, so they justify there position by using the race card. Pathetic and tiresome as it is!!

From Fightthesmears.com:
Doubled Taxes? The claim that "Under Obama your taxes will more than double!" is also false. The comparative rate tables this e-mail provides for McCain and Obama are entirely wrong, as we explained in an earlier article March 13 about another false e-mail from which these tables are copied. It is supposedly a comparison of tax rates before and after the Bush tax cuts, but it grossly overstates the effect of the Bush cuts. Furthermore, Obama proposes to retain the Bush cuts for every single income level shown in this bogus table.

From your citation cnn.com/election
" Says he would restore the top two income tax rates to their pre-2001 levels of 36 percent and 39.6 percent. (Currently, they're 33 percent and 35 percent.)"

aksjfd, let me guess that your one of those Obama supporters that is wearing the lastest head gear given to its supporters from the Democratic Party. Side Blinders whorn by all "BLEEP" to keep them MOVING ALONG! If you really want to believe that crap then go ahead and do so. But I quite frankly will not allow for you or anyone else to cram that BLEEP down my throat. He may claim that he doesnt want to raise your taxes, but guess what his first priority will be once (IF)he is elected? He may talk a good talk but to my ears its all INSINCERE HOGWASH

Well FYI...I never EVER voted for GWB not one not even TWICE, so since you seem to KNOW IT ALL, I guess I can hold those so called FACTS your throwing out there right where they belong. IN THE GARBAGE

Fightthesmears.com: is an Obama Campagin website. That is your first clue aksjfd. There for it is SLANTED/BIASED INFO to support HIS view or to rebuke other views out there about him that he NEEDS to defend. So it is in my best intrest not to take the crap on that website seriously....

I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND CONSIDER MYSELF A PATRIOT, BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT FOR THEY ARE TRULY RUNNING THIS COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND AND/OR SELLING IT OUT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
