know you're a little dense hughie but once again, people who make less than $250k will pay the same amount of taxes they currently pay or don't pay or less. Now if 33% do not pay taxes, then they will not pay taxes going forward. I can't make it any clearer than that. If you still don't get it, talk to an accountant. He said 95% will get a tax cut. So tell me how that math works when about a third do not pay tax's! You keep dancing around the point, trying to claim I am stupid, when it's obvious you can't do math.

>>> people who make less than $250k will pay the same amount of taxes they currently pay or don't pay or less. Actually, he did slip in a little change to this last week. It is now $200K. Nobody noticed, though. What is important, though -- what REALLY matters, is that Obama intends to redistribute wealth. Take money from those having more and even things out. So, we all make the same amount of money. Obama doesn't deny this and in fact, was on video last week putting it in those crass terms -- "it won't hurt if we take a little from these guys who have so much and give it to those who don't" -- wealth redistribution, that's what it is about. It won't do to have some people making more money than others. Even if they happen to work harder or smarter or just be lucky enough to fall ass-backward into it. Obama thinks the gang members in East St. Louis ought to have as much money as inode does. They are, after all, poor and disadvantaged and inode has had it all given to him. Inode didn't work 60 and 80 hour weeks his entire adult life to get what he has. He didn't spend countless hours studying and working hard in school to get an education that would give him whatever advantage he has had, and countless hours flipping burgers while in school to pay his way through school. It was handed to him. So we need to hand it to the people who have worked hard but not made any money in their lives. Single moms? Tough life. But single moms make it every day. It takes hard work and persistence -- but there is plenty of opportunity for those who want to do it. When you make those life choices, they are in fact life choices. When you get pregnant at 15 it is a fact, your life just got tougher. So, we should hand it to them. Nevermind that Biden has seen fit to make an average of $33.50/year in charitable contributions. He's really helping out a lot! We need socialism. Bring it on.
