Anyways, obama is only rolling back the taxes to the clinton era, and it was ppl making $100k or more, Obama's is $250k plus, and its only an extra $300 for every $10k above $250. bfd.
Yes you can do better than zero. In Alaska, palin taxes the oil corporations and she gives it to the broke ass citizens. Why's it cool for her to do that and we can't do that for our citizens? Because there is no provision in the US Constitution to do so that's why. To be blunt there is no authority for the fed to dish out charity of any form be it foriegn or domestic. What a state does is its' own business so long as the US Constitution isn't violated. Basic Civics.
America is for we the people. Not we the corporations. First of all, $40k a yr with kids is poverty... Depends on the part of the country and the lifestyle of the family. If they are deep in credit card debt, and are living in a high cost of living area then you are likely right.
And the iraq war has driven up inflation big time. Love how you try to right wing spin it as an inexpensive war.
And those 4000 plus lives wasn't worth it. They want us out. What did you win? What did WE win? Mook tada el sadr will ultimately be president and ally with iran. Biggest blunder in american history. Are you kidding me?
The thread isn't about Iraq. Try to focus.
