if you think you dislike obama's tax plans...

... please consider this summary, which shows that you have little to worry about unless you make over $600k a year.  And if you do, you probably have little to worry about anyway, you rich fuck.

The only people who dislike Obama's tax plans are either willfully ignorant or wealthily so.

It should cause people physical pain when they refer to an "average tax cut" for an income group, unless they're discussing it solely in terms of federal revenue received.

Now just think for a moment here...

As we move forward nationalizing ever greater sectors of the financial industry, including the potentially optomistic plan, that the Department Of Homeland Security will control short selling with Massive FirePower to show those Terrorists we are serious....

We will ALL soon be making more than $2 Billion a year. Or will have slipped below the poverty level.

And if those Rich White Elitist Obamanites are going to punish POOR PEOPLE, the new ethnic group, who are making MERELY $600,000 a year, then it just shows how much they are Racists, Sexist, and just plain RUDE!!!!

You need to join the Team, and come on in for the Big WIN!!!!

It's those of us

around the 60th or 70th percentile (and, more importantly, all those who imagine they would be if they could just get the millstone of the government off their necks) who are worried about getting Obama's measly 1.8% break instead of McCain's whopping 1.4%. Uh, wait.

It would be interesting to draw the bars in dollars rather than percentages. That big increase for the super-rich in Obama's plan would be two hundred times the big tax cut for the poor, while the big cut for the super-rich in McCain's would be two thousand times his tiny tax cut for the poor.

Pick a penny from the clue jar: the national debt has doubled since 2001 and we just nationalized and bailed out a heapin' helpin' o' financial toxic waste vendors. There will be more to come.

There will be no tax cuts. There will be no national health care.

A few years ago, Michael Apple was a guest lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. He told a stroy about his activism registering poor African Americans in -- umm -- some part of New York in the run up to Regan's first election.

Apple and a fellow Democrat activist approached two older men who were sitting on a bench. When the paperwork was successfully completed, one of the men asked the other who he was going to vote for now that he'd been registered.

"Ronald Regan" was his answer.

"Why do you want to vote for /him/?", he was asked.

"'Cos he's not going to raise taxes", was the reply.

"Bert", his friend said, "you don't earn enough to pay taxes".

"I know. But when I win the lottery I don't want them Democrats taking it from me."

Apple wondered, those years later in the Edmund Burke Theatre in TCD, what it would take to get enough people to vote in (what he perceived to be) their own best interest based on the reality of their situations.
