What racism is there if instead somebody said "Talk French" or "Talk German" I really found your post to be amusing that I had to jump in and ask. Do you live in an area where many folks speak Spanish?

Ah, so you don't understand English either?

I responded to

"Obama supports lifting the FICA cap on all earnings above $250K"

The tax form instructions refer to earned income and unearned income but not "earnings". If Obama made such a statement of support, it would have been on earned income (not on dividends or capital gains and not providing a credit refund against capital losses), and he also talks loosely on the campaign trail.

What he may mean is on AGI above $250,000, because even the other "$250,000" threshold has to mean AGI of that amount, and not gross income. Consider the tax forms.
