My point was that we spend more than we earn. Recent Republican administrations have chosen to increase spending while reducing taxes. Borrow and spend. This simply spreads debt to future generations. And no matter how much John McCain…
Lowering tax rates is not the same as lowering taxes. McCain does lower tax rates. If you want to claim that Obama's tax calculator--an approximation tool--is correct, then run some numbers which show that there is no tax cut under McCain's plan. Try $20,000, single, no dependents. I don't…
Why don't you put that question to Obama or to his staff and find out how clueless he really is. Just tell them that you (as was Joe, wink, nod) are an undecided voter and you can't really understand why Obama says this. It may take a while, but…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to that chart it seems that many of the low-income workers are already getting a check from Uncle Sam. If that is true and Obama increases the size of the check, he is not breaking any new ground in terms of "giveaways"…

All taxation is based on the principal that it's good to spread the wealth around. Our national debt is increasing. Unless you want to spread the poverty to future generations, we have to increase taxes.

Thank you for the response. Your result was derived from your assumptions concerning how to use an approximation tool provided by the Tax Policy Center. My result was based on a statement provided by the co-director of that same center.

Sarge,
What do you think it says that al-Sadr is living in Iran? If it says a lot, I'm sure you won't have any trouble with an answer.
One thing that it says to me is that perhaps he fears becoming victim of a purposeful mistake. Or perhaps his followers…

sailwind,
It's going to take me a while to wade through the reports. Incidentally, there is an updated report at:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/411749updatedcandidates.pdf
This reflects Obama's August revisions and Congress's updated budget numbers.
Just a quick reaction to your comments, however:
I'm not much of a believer that "redistributing wealth" to the…
