In 2005, at lower tax rates, top 10% of income earners earned 46% of total AGI (not 95%) and paid 70% of all income taxes. At higher tax rates in 1986, top 10% income earners earned only 35% of total AGI, but also paid only 54.7% of all taxes. What does this tell us about tax increases?

We are hated around the world." How ignorant, check the most current statistics in the survey in the Business Week. Most people favor America and look up to America as leader. "Obama has supporters around the world." The survey found that one single most important reason given why foreigners like Obama is: "Obama is the least American among the four presidential candiates." Don't kid yourself, check out the numbers. We don't need Americans who are against EVERYTHING what America stands for. Please name yourself Obamaan, the rest of the world will love you to death. "Obama has supporters around the world. We are hated around the world."

He doesn't need a license nor he is seeking one for now. The dogs say he can't ever have a business of his own. The brain dead is only capable of thinking Joe will earn $40,000 a year for the rest of his life. Who is the congress man who currently owes tax money? How come he is still drawing my tax money as salary? None of you scums pay Joe his salary. Yea, Joe was hired by McCain just as Mohammed Atta was hired by Bush on 9/11 to give him excuse to go to war. What else more hell-bound liars? Joe works for a licensed and insured employer.

The question remains and the answer was loud and clear. This man has no positive substance. If this were an election on who has the prettier skin color, I would vote for Obama. Electing a man for presidency in a country of freedom has NOTHING to do with skin color or (race). Yet, because it wasn't brought up, Obama, along with his supporters emphasizes it. People need to take out their dictionaries and absorb the definition. Obama believes in "Black" theology. Talk about racist! Supporters threaten violence if Obama doesn't win. So don't tell me the dfl isn't despicable, idiotic, and immature. He is negative on America. Obama has supporters around the world. We are hated around the world. He wants to ban guns to law abiding citizens, he wants to censor free speech, Lord knows he does not want the truth known. He wants punishment to those that are against his unamerican stance, socialize the country, indoctrinate kids from 3 through college, blah, blah, blah. He wants this country defenseless and vulnerable. Kool-aid drinkers, watch your blood sugar level, it will distort your thinking patterns. NO Allen, if there's a benefit from a tax cut it will not happen! NO TRUST! Who cares who sought who out? The question remains and the answer was loud and clear. This man has no positive substance.

I agree he represents the American Dream, the desire to achieve more for you and your family. But King Obama says "NO Joe, if you want to get ahead I will penalize you and give it to someone else." I think that is an outrage. The only change we will have is the change in your pocket after we are forced to feed an ever growing government.

Barrack was on his own campaign seeking out opinions from regular folks and he asked Joe to speak with him. Now if Joe has issues with bills to pay and he is owes the IRS back taxes,well that does not take away the meat that Obama dished out for every working american to hear on national television and evaluate. many divorced men end up taking the brunt of the financial hit when they are in divorce court.I have and thousands of other men have. It is a tax hike and wealth distribution no matter how Obama says it. Richard from TEXAS & John from california are right on the money on their individual comments.

I am more concerned with Senator Obama's response to "Joe the plumber", which is socialism to it's core, not Joe's history. Senator Obama's bottom line "plan" is wealth redistribution. Our household, being of very modest means, does not hold to the belief that the rich should forced to throw us scraps to keep us dependent on the government. We work for what we own, and appreciate what we do have all the more. We live in a country that offers opportunity to reach whatever goals one desires...by working for it. What incentive will there be for those wanting to get ahead if government continues to siphon the fruits of the American Dream? This is the land of opportunity, not hand outs. Though I'm afraid it's turning into the latter. For those needing a reminder of it's meaning... Webster's definition of socialism: "a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done" Why is it that many in this country have turned to dissecting the wrong people, issues, and comments?
