What am I doing wrong to be paying more federal taxes than more than 40 percent of tax filers? I work for minimum wage and I pay federal income tax and, of course, payroll taxes.

What am I doing wrong to be paying more federal taxes than more than 40 percent of tax filers?

Obama wants to take that away from you! DON'T LET HIM! The worst thing we can do is watch the news media who have become devout followers of Obama. The media themselves spin any truthful negativity on Obama to make those that know the truth look the fool. They use the racist word when the word doesn't even imply. The word is their crutch. This is a great takeover of every principle, value, rights, and freedoms of America. Will Warren Buffet become tax exempt? Barbra Streisand? Susan Serandon? Oprah Winfrey? They shouldn't be, they may think they're protected but I bet Obama is a back stabber. He is to this country now. How is he going to tax people in Hollywood? Obama did say he is willing to pay more taxes as is Warren Buffet. All he would have to do is get rid of 3/4 of the government now and we would be fine. 3/4 hypothetical, based on observation, is the amount of government that does not serve the people as a whole. The government's job is to serve the people as a whole. I am disappointed in many immigrants as the majority in my neighborhood is voting obama. Even though obama wants to run the same types of governments immigrants took refuge from!? I expected they would vote for freedom. Suspicion arises as to whom Obama is really working for as he wants to feed the world with our money when he could teach the world to feed themselves. He is dangerously threatening.

I don't believe Obama. I don't believe McCain. All of your "camps" take a position and like any good lawyer, argue that black is white and white is black and then expect to get compensated in some way at the end of it all. I sincerely attempt to follow the arguements. I am committed to being an informed voter, but the posturing and outright fabrication that has unfortunately become the accepted form of entertainment/news makes it impossible. None of you help me.

That's not true. While around 40% of workers pay no income tax, most of them are still net taxpayers since they pay payroll taxes. I expect Heritage to not make the same "omissions of fact" that Obama and McCain do in their ads.
