CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
28%
CLINTON
24%
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%
CLINTON
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 or Clinton become 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.'

INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN
0%
(No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA
keep the inheritance tax
CLINTON
keep the inheritance tax
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and 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 not only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND 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!!!
Can you afford Clinton or Obama? I can't!!!!!

Someone has to pay for the Republican's eight years of borrowing to pay for t his war.
Yousee, the only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is that the Republicans borrow and spend then the Democrats have to tax you and pay it back. Anyway you look at it we are being screwed and will continue to be screwed untill we get off our couches and take to the streets. -
None of those taxes would affect me outside of the gas tax and I wouldn't mind having medical care considering I have an abscessed tooth right now that I cant afford to get pulled since it would cost at least $200 and would shortchange me for rent next month.
Those are my two cents.

Clearly rabidlemur has failed to learn about the 100% failure rate of socialism. Did you not see the story on how tens of thousands of UK residents have been pulling their own teeth because the wait to see a dentist is so long. Did you know the wait time in the US for mammogram is 2 days, in CA it's 2 yrs. Do you not know the reason most wealthy CA and UK residents come here for serious medical treatment. I am a father of 4 and we have NEVER had insurance. GOD save us from selfish short sighted people like you and the slime that you would elect who accrue power by pandering to your ignorance and selfishness. Any fool could go to a supermarket and offer to carry old peoples bags to their cars and clear $200 in a few hours. How could you not find 1000 ways to get $200??? BTW in CA the very lowest level salaries are taxed at nearly 50% AND every single person pays a monthly medical charge AND aprox $90 per doctor visit. Sound better to you??? Well it didn't start that way - but now it's their #1 budget item (as it is in every socialist nation) and they are looking for ways to cut people off of care like if you weigh too much.
A gov't that is powerful enough to give you everything will soon take everything you have from you. They always do. -
Of course I failed, I CLEARLY did not have the wisdom of the GREAT mitch77, how dare i be so short sighted as to think a country might want to take care of its citizens and not just its rich ones, and if any fool could make money that way how come YOU have never had insurance? you obviously have the means to buy insurance with your steady job carrying old peoples groceries.
My god i'm so grateful you set me straight mitch77, I dont know what i'd do without your clearly superior intellect to guide me.
UPDATE!!!! I just tried to make my money by offering to carry old peoples groceries and you know what happened? I was told that the store had people they called "courtesy clerks" im sure this is some weird socialist, wacky tacky liberal cult you might want to look into oh great Mitch77, maybe you should detail these thousands of ways people can clear $200 dollars in only a few hours, who knows it might make you rich!

I am self employed and work for a charity that has no money to pay me. I could get a higher paying job but we homeschool our kids and they are top ranked national athletes who have to travel a lot.
(PROOF- http://www.fireeaglejudo.com/fam.html )
I'm sorry my intellect and knowledge are so offensive to you. You are the goal of all socialist regimes; selfish and ignorant. It is precisely why Pol Pot killed ever person with even a high school education. The ignorant are much easier to dupe and control. My 4 kids raise every dime for their travel themselves. They buy cheap candy and sell it at sporting events and such. They have never made less than $800 in an hour and have done over $1200. I think if you really needed dental care there are many many ways to get it. And just in case you have never taken any history courses; It is not now, nor has it ever been the countries responsibility to take care of it's citizens.
Please try and recall all of the times you personally have complained about, or witnessed how terrible the government is at doing ANYTHING!.
every single thing they government takes over, without exception, they manage to screw up. IT always ends up costing 2 or three or more times as much when the government does it.
This is not a secret! Read a little! Charities feed people for $3 to $5 a meal, but every time the government (on any level) tries it they spend $25 to $45..and sometime double that! This is a fact and a promise of what will come. You can get angry at me all you like but it does not change the fact that socialized medicine is a horrible failure everywhere it is tried. making cracks about my intellect won't make it better.
And by the way, you might want to read a bit about how we Americans are spending billions to support CA socialized medicine. Yep that is right. The liberals have allowed CA to put sever limits on the cost of medicine (that's why some of us go up there to buy meds) and who do you think makes up the billions in short falls for the drug companies? WE DO! And what happens if the gov't demands they lower their prices to US. Well the very same thing that happened in the EU drug research grinds almost to a halt...no new drugs. much less testing...many more deaths do to poor testing. . . . It is your right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is not the government job to help. And if they do you and your kids and everyone else's will suffer. This is just immutable truth, proven again and again throughout history. -
Lemur with a U, get your worthless self off this page. Can't you see we are in the presence of absolute greatness with champion kids too. It is amazing to me that he knows so much more than Canadians about their health care system. Those silly Canadians have to wait for years to get health care and they don't even know it. No one likes a braggart.

My fathers sister (husband & family) live in CA.
Have since before I was born.
But more importantly I read.
How does one extrapolate that "I know more than the Canadians" about their health care?
I just know more than you.
Ridicule and cute remarks don't make up for having baseless opinions that are contrary to known facts.I would love free health care if it would not destroy my country, if it would not enslave more people to the government, and if it would not reduce the quality and quantity of the care I have access to now.
To trade the best and most for worse and less is silly. To know you will have to pay more also is insane.You should both understand that I was raised ultra leftist. My dad was a very well known figure in the Dem party. I protested, burned my draft card, gave speeches against nukes, etc. I was a true believer.
Then I decided to hitchhike/backpack around Europe.
One of the things I did was to go into the USSR (73)
. Well in one day I realized all of the times I was told about how "their system was no better or worse than ours" were HUGE lies. I came home and told my parents I was going to go out of my way to read everything from both sides.
Churchill said, If you are not a liberal when you have no heart and if you are not a conservative when your older you have no brains".
It might have taken me many years to realize how deceived I had been about so much, but that trip into the USSR was a huge shock.
I soon discovered most of the major things I had believed were partly or completely wrong.
The big hoax that went on int e 70's and 80's was "Acid Rain". It was just as big a story as global warming is now. Every newspaper and media outlet had it on constantly. Every scientist that tried to tell the truth was ignored by the media. Evey scientific paper that came out proving it was a hoax was ignored. Finally 60 Minutes (usually a 100% liberal show) had a segment entitled The Acid Rain Hoax...POW it was as if the spigot had been turned off. There was essentially never another story about it. Now for 10 years or so the media has been lying it's ass off about global warming. Scientists from all over the world, NASA, and out top universities have been writing articles and giving absolute proof that it is; minor, normal, and NOT caused by man, yet the vast majority of folks have bought into it. Hitler had experts in brainwashing working for him. They said if you tell a big lie often enough everyone will believe it. 95% of folks fell for
Acid Rain, a lot less for global warming (due to the internet) but a huge number think socialized medicine is a good idea. Why? Because who is telling people the truth? No one! Not one major media source is telling the truth about how bad it is. If you want the truth you have to do some work for it.
So I ask you; Do you believe even half the crap they have been spewing about global warming?
If so then please take one hour from your life and read here: http://junkscience.com/Features.html
Then ask yourself, "Why haven't the news media been telling us this stuff?"
AND THEN ask yourself, "What else have they been lying to us about?"That is, if you care more about the truth than your opinions.

mitch isn't a braggart, he's a cherry-picking dumba$$ with a huge propensity to deceive himself especially as regards the legitimate experience of others, pretending one g'dam trip to the USSR during the coldwar defines the epitome of socialized healthcare anywhere else around the world, even YEARS after the fact probably! LOL (News Flash Mitch! One size doesn't *really* fit all! Just as one heavenly shiny new screwdriver does little to take off a rusty stubborn bolt.)
Mitch' makes no mention that things DO change over time and that there ARE MUCH better models to suggest, as perhaps that of France, which provides some of the best medical health care in the world bar none. No mention that although none are completely perfect, MORE objectively, some definitely ARE better than others--better than even U.S. healthcare which is increasingly, extremely cost prohibitive to the majority of Americans! And Mitch, no need to be such an insolent presumptuous prik...when Americans have to decide on paying rent, or paying the exhorbitant costs of healthcare, even $200 may as well be $2M in many cases, and Americans go without what they really need!!! Not many have the readies for those kinds of costs in this day and age, and even want of as "little" as $200 can literally break families today!! That's no shit! And this is the rage and the reality though you may be too blind in your own pride to see it...the middle class in America is indeed being assaulted by the upper class and is suffering while the ones who can make a difference do nothing!!)
No mention either that even our Canadian neighbors usually won't even risk the extreme expense of receiving care as it now exists here in the U.S., choosing rather to make the long trip to receive the care they trust back home in Canada.
No mention that doctors in the U.S. no longer even honor their hypocratic oaths because the bitchez allow the hospitals they work for to demand CASH up front before you can even see a doctor for care. (And these "doctors" act like such hapless sob's..when they should be sacrificing for the necessary revolutions to morally lead the way to better and AFFORDABLE healthcare for everyone, the mferz! but instead, they all want a yacht! and 3 mansions, a couple of summer homes and extravagant vacations... so they entitle themselves in lieu of proper healthcare the mferz!!!)
but y'know..."mitch" if you're not *already* working as a lobbyist or a practicing posterchild for the g'dam prostituting healthcare insurance industry, (it wouldn't surprise me!) you just might consider it, as somehow "hustling" your kids at sporting events, or accosting shoppers you don't even know might be bad for your health when some lazy selfish American mistakes you for a mugger and shoots your a$$ down for little more than a few spare pennies in pocket change and a head of lettuce.
better to be careful out there, quit your dam posing, and try getting a REAL job so you can AFFORD to BUY tickets to those sporting events and enjoy them with your family...but that might take you off the welfare list when you could work for occasional cash, wouldn't it? tsk... dam...choices, huh? ;)
as for the taxes, g'dam it sure seems like, in a fascist government like the one we have, one hand certainly washes the other, doesn't it! This is exactly what I was afraid of... phuk! Makes me sick when you know how much they dump and "borrow" to pay for war walking away with millions in their own pockets! but when it comes to financing the very things that provide substance and dignity to life for the majority of the populace...heh...the best we can hope for are preening self-aggrandizing prix like mitch'...
God help us...

Your remark indicates I have made false claims.
Please prove your insinuation.
Otherwise anyone with an IQ above 60 is going to realize you have nothing.
Right now you are kind of looking like a guy who brought an imaginary knife to a gun fight. -
tsk...those are general facts, not insinuations you snide mfer. Get a dictionary, then get a JOB! THEN maybe you can bitch about how much it's going to cost in PAID taxes for healthcare you welfare-milking loser.

Amen.

You really need to brush up on basic logic.
You start off with a straw man fallacy.
In fact I never mentioned the USSR as any reference to socialized health care.
I was illustrating what caused me to leave the mindlessness of liberalism.Well I read your entire foolish rant and there is not much to address there. Just silly ranting. No proofs. No resources. You just want what you want and the facts be damned.
I am not on welfare and never have been except for a few months when I was a freshman in college in 72.
Your remark about the wages of our doctors makes it sound as if they are paid more than the docs in CA.I have 3 companies I have started but none are raging success so I think one could say I have "real" jobs.even though they don't make us wealthy.
I have given you sources and facts you can look up and try to disprove.
I am probably much more familiar with the state of the poor today than you are. Our state, county, and local police have brought hundreds of individuals and families to us for help. We are the only ministries in our area that would take in these indigents. We fed them our food...nothing that any govt provided.
I never heard from any of them anything so silly as $200 "literally" (LOL) breaking a family! What does that even mean? (sugg: look up 'literally')
The biggest health problem for poor families in the US is obesity! Break a family...pulease.
So many other deceitful insinuations...where to start?
I am not "hustling" my kids. They want to be Olympians.
They are all 'A' students and accomplished musicians but they want to represent the USA. My wife and I give up a lot to help them...but we are justifiably proud of them. My 2nd daughter was on the US team for the PanAm games 2 years back and my youngest son was on it last year. Enough of that we both know you were just being sleazy with no real reason other than hatefulness.
I don't know where you live but I don't know a single doctor with a yacht. Some have 2 homes but that's about it. And yes they do charge a lot. Know why?
For the same reason the number of pediatricians has fallen 80 to 90% in some states; insurance costs.There is sooo much more to address like your ref to being shot...so you must be in favor of concealed carry for law abiding citizens! Good for you! Crime goes down markedly every where it is implemented.
One last point; You call our govt fascist. You seem to be under the very liberal delusion that there is some substantive difference between fascism and socialism.
This is a utterly silly notion that started during the civil war in Spain in which the 2 parties fought.
There is almost no difference between the 2. Hitler, arguable the most famous fascist of all, gave public credit to Carl Marx as his inspiration. Far from being polar opposites these 2 political doctrines are almost identical twins. They both amount to this; the state controls everything. And as I said before when the state controls it is is always a incredibly expensive and failing enterprise. I love to see proof of an exception to that.I need you to understand this, and I am as sincere as I can be here; I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BELIEVE ME!
Really, what I want is for you to be honest enough to go out and try and see if what I have saids is true. I want you to ask yourself "gee I have said over and over my government lies to me...maybe the media and teachers I have have lied to me too". Because it's all on you man. No one can ever MAKE you believe the truth. And as long as you let yourself be filled with the constant litany of big media lies you'll never know the freedom from the smothering lies you are under. -
Your remark about the wages of our doctors makes it sound as if they are paid more than the docs in CA.
A short search on Google will clear up this lie if you have the nerve to see the truth.I could go on in this vein but the real point is you don't seem willing to do anything but make up stuff and rant.
Why don't you look up some facts and prove me wrong.Lawyers sue doctors for enormous sums and insurance companies charge incredible amounts to insure the docs. But there is not going to be any tort reform because the congress is full of lawyers.
And greedy slime think they deserve millions every time anyone dies from anything. If a doctor operates drunk he should go to jail for manslaughter. right now 2 thirds of every doctor bill is for insurance and tests that they run that are not needed for any reason other than to be able to say in court "yes we ran that test too". You see selfishness and greed makes everyone suffer.
The reason we pay so much now for meds is the selfishness of their failing system. And the selfishness of the lawyers and clients drives costs to the moon.
This is exactly how and why socialized medicine cost more and more every single year. bankrupting the economies fo the nations who do it.Well you have certainly lived up to your handle 'rabid' (AKA "mad") lemur (isn't that a form of weasel).
So Let's agree on "crazyweasel" OK?
I mean it's more forthright.
Your tirade was filled with nothing but accusations, insinuations, and nary a reference to be seen.
Well I only found this site by accident while researching the lead article. I have a big email list and try and make certain all I send out is true (quite a concept hunh?).
At any rate every once in a while I post to a lace like this and someone has the courage to actually do the work and then I get some amazing thank you notes from those staggering into the light. Clearly you have a great fear of the truth (something I have never quite understood). But let me assure you of this; seldom will you ever be sorry to displace your false ideas with the truth. It just makes you feel so good to come out from under the crap that smothers hope out of you. And every lie cuts off your air, your freedom.Peace out dude..I won't be back.
Further responses would be fruitless.
Sorry if I was too harsh...
Just eat the chicken spit out the bones.
-
Just changed my email in this sites profile to a defunct account so I won't be tempted to beat up on you further.
Nice to see you pray marilynn...I'll take all I can get but there are other who appear to need them more.
".those are general facts, not insinuations"
ROFLMAO...you have GOT to be kidding!!!!
DUDE i have read the dictionary for fun since I was 9.
I have a major in Speech Com and a Minor in Rhetorical Analysis. I'll lone you one of my dictionaries. And BTW 'generally' facts are not 'general', they are specific.OK thats all! I'm OUT. I just threw this in because I missed that absurd little comment
I do plead guilty to a bit of the snide....sorry.
When people get in my face with half baked snotty anti-American crap I have the urge to slap them down. Guess I could handle it better. -

What is truth? someone once asked... practically the only thing you got right mitch is that greed and selfishness make everyone suffer, but I suspect you'd know that only by personal sadistic experience. truth is, for all your bs, you HAVE no g'dam facts worth mentioning. but MOREOVER, woefully, abhorribly you simply have no respect for true-to-life experiences of others (only your own as you live it in CA), either insisting you'd like to read about them as some statistic on some other Web site when it's clearly here, LIVE, in your face and in PERSON on THIS one. but *sigh* you want a dissertation? here's one..."FUH Q," if only cuz you post ONE panzy-a$$ link and a percentage point or two and think it's cause to spew your "anti-liberalism" bs parading around like a snooty ballerina tippy-toe saying "here's the truth, there's the truth, read it yourself" and as though no one could *possibly* disagree with you. Yea, quite inspiring your are "mitch" (And you say you own THREE businesses??? lol =D a couple of SMC/ebay accounts isn't a real "business" mitch, quit leaching, get off your lazy ass and get a REAL JOB!..."working for a "charity" that has no money to pay you" as even you say!)
-
And then you run like a phuktop bench... lol "I'm OUT" =D shouldn't surprise me. Truth is, frivolous phux like you get the shite knocked out of 'em sooner or later. That's why I warned you about approaching people in a parking lot, shoulder to shoulder with all the other homeless people asking "brother, can you spare a dime?" (...yeah that's a real solution for people mitch. Real intelligence you got there. Inspiring!) And you'd certainly deserve it when you tell people like rabidlemur, calling him a weasel, that he should get the $200 he has to budget for rent but that he *really* needs for necessary healthcare--by hustling grocery bags at the supermarket, insinuating the "real" problem is a bogus lack of initiative. you flippant *heartless* mfer you, mitch. No, I don't trust a g'dam thing you say, cuz if anyone probably REALLY *needs* to get "smacked down" it's YOU peg. (tsk...but there are probably some cool joe's out there reading this who'd love to do us the favor, player.) And...no need to discuss semantics with you about the nature of the general facts affecting more and more Americans, as even you don't quite understand when you've even agreed citing "insurance" scams and frivolous lawsuits as just one cause. you simply rationalize your perspectives coloring everyone else's experience just to stroke yours! most people call a spade a spade and that's just an a$$hole...which if you DO lend me that dictionary, i bet you proudly display your own picture there under that very word!) No, there's a bigger dynamic here than you out there mitch. Your two or three degrees simply don't hack it...no, NOT by a long shot.
I think it'll be pretty clear to MORE readers here that your head is pridefully firmly stuffed-up-to-your-shoulders-as-far-as-it-can-go UP your very hairy ass...and you LOVE it! LOL He's in love with his own success! His own self-professed "intelligence," and only, selectively regards what he deems "facts" when he reads about them published somewhere as a some medical journal statistic...it's sad shit.
To me people, mitch doesn't give a shite about anyone else... certainly not us.
I think the simple truth is clear enough despite the chronic obfuscation of the fact of people's lives, that people DO actually NEED legitimate ACCESS to healthcare services they simply can't or currently aren' afforded in the U.S. today, even IF insulated prix like mitch' don't want to acknowledge that need. It's a fact I don't need to surf for. I'm living it! I'm one of those very people! And if mitch cared to look, it's on the headlines...in the news! Our candidates are seriously entertaining ideas about it, not because they read about it on one of mitch's anti-liberalist Web sites or his "carefully-prepared" spam, but because they at least are real enough to acknowledge there IS legitimate need, AND demand and they're willing to at least attempt something to make a difference....whether this self-deluded asshole wants to believe in it or not. I'm not even sure it has to be the cookie cutter version of socialist healthcare he thinks this has to be of some necessity because he "knows better than you" or me... (phuk the unimaginative "status quo" sob...i think *he's* the one smothered in the crap of his own ideas on this subject to the point he can't breathe or think!)
that said, and although undecided, I perhaps don't entirely disagree with him on OTHER subjects, though he's so dam presumptuous enough to think it just couldn't be so! if only, because that's how this particularly self-absorbed LOSER tends to be...his own worst problem.
