Obama’s plan to apply Social Security tax on earnings over $250K — 12.4% originally, supposedly “only” 4% now — would force an additional tax of between $1200 and $3720 on earnings of $280K.

And Zheesh, the higher income tax rates would apply almost ALL of his income, not just the $30K increment. That would be in the neighborhood of $6,000, not $900. It may be less than $6K, but when O says that he will keep the Bush tax cuts for those who make less than $200 or $250K, he DIDN’T say he would exempt the first $250K of EVERYONE’S income from the impact of the cuts. And he WON’T.

The gimmicks cited would make up for some of that, but nowhere near all, and they would add to the already insufferable time-consuming and expensive paperwork.

As you said, “better to acknowledge facts and deal with them objectively.” So please do.

In 2006, Barack Obama traveled to Africa on U.S. taxpayer money and for 6 days campaigned for Raila Odinga, who was running for the office of President of Kenya.

By the time Obama joined him on the trail, Odinga, who claims to be Obama’s cousin, had already established a reputation as a powerful orator, running as the ‘CANDIDATE of CHANGE’ and drawing crowds who chanted in deafening unison, ‘YES WE CAN!’

In ‘07 Odinga lost the election and on that day, hundreds of his followers spilled into the streets wielding machetes and launched a months long ethnic cleansing rampage on the opposition party followers, burning churches, raping women and hacking villagers to death which resulted in the mass genocide of over 1400 innocent men, women and children.

Later in 2007, as a way of bringing about compromise and ending violence, Odinga was able to muscle his way into a second top spot as Prime Minister, a new position created especially for him, and granted full Executive Priviledges over the government of Kenya.

Odinga, who denied that he was a muslim for years, has only recently went public with it, is against the extradition of Muslim terrorists and has vowed to bring Sharia Law to Kenya. In 2007, he traveled to the U.S. to visit and support his friend Obama in his bid for the Democratic nomination.

Obama campaign insiders have reported that Obama has continued to remain in contact with Odinga throughout his own Presidential campaign.

Although reports abound on the internet about the Obama/Odinga relationship, the mainstream Press has silenced this story.

As American citizens we are outraged at the failure of the Press to report pertinent facts surrounding the candidate Barack Obama and this and other associations, and believe that on the eve of our elections, this gross censorship may have placed our Democratic government and Natiional Security in “Clear and Present Danger.”

As citizens for the Truth in Media, we demand the story of Obama/Odinga be reported to the American people in time to learn the facts before the November elections.

We hereby petition CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post and FOX TV NEWS to report this story and give it the attention it deserves as a LEAD Story NOW, before it is too late.

10/16 Breaking News!!! WorldNet News Daily (see link on this page) has other stories that need to be investigated including claims that Obama -played a key role in Odinga’s government takeover strategy and also may have donated nearly $1 million of his own campaign money to Odinga’s presidential campaign, which would have made him one of Odinga’s biggest contributors along with the son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi.

Please sign the petition,post to blogs and get it out to your friends NOW. If we can get FOX to run this as a LEAD story, the others will have to report!

“To reach a level that would be affected by Sen. Obama’s proposed tax increase, Mr. Smither said, a mom-and-pop plumbing company like Newell would have to clear $5 million in annual sales. [Joe’s company actually reports only $100,000 in sales.]

Even if Mr. Wurzelbacher reaped taxable income from his business of $280,000 a
year, he’d pay only about $900 more a year in taxes under Sen. Obama’s plan, which
would raise the tax rate on the income between $250,000 and $280,000 to 36%
from 33%.

[...]

If Mr. Wurzelbacher earns the wages of a typical Ohio plumber, $40,600, and holds a $90,000 mortgage, he would see a TAX CUT (emphasis added) under Sen. Obama’s plan of more than $1,000, compared with no tax reduction under Sen. McCain’s.

If he succeeds in buying the plumbing business where he works, he could see even more tax benefits, including Sen. Obama’s proposed elimination of capital-gains taxes for small-business investment, a 50% tax credit to purchase health insurance for employees and a $3,000 tax credit for every new hire over the next two years.”

Other issues and ‘things we wish were true’ aside, better to acknowledge facts and deal with them objectively.

#4, Sorry, no sale. “Welfare capitalism” IS socialism in the areas it infests — softer, sometimes with a friendlier face, but STILL socialism.

Socialism is the state owning the means of production. In Western Europe, the government OWNS the means of producing services in the health-care system. That’s socialism. Democrats who support nationalizing healthcare are, on that policy issue, socialists, and it’s not arguable.

I would take the federal budget and give it to six dairy farmers from Wisconsin, and tell them to find $18.00 milk in it!! Let them pare out unneeded costs, especially in the off-budget BUDGETS. How MUCH do WE THE PEOPLE really owe?

Anyone, including Alaskans, should know how frugal one has to be to market milk from a dairy farm!!

I am not a SPEND & DEFER to the national debt Republican. Yes, these rascals gave the top 1 percenters gracious tax breaks at the expense of driving Daisy off the road. Bush and the other thugs need to be sent directly to The Hague to stand trial for Hitleresque High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Republicans spent, spent, stole, and spent 650 billion dollars over the past 8 years. And I warn YOU, if Dick Cheney dies, MANDATE AN OPEN CASKET. Else, he’ll be off to Dubai’s Islands “World” hiding with Old What’s His Name
from Enron—YES, the infamous Ken Lay. I am like Quantrill’s captain, ” I don’t want to hear Josie Wales dead; I want to see Josie Wales DEAD!!
