In the midst of this financial mess

Babs, he's typing one-handed again.

Just thought you'd like to know...

or........listen to Hannity's interview with the messiah. Or you don't believe the messiah when he talks? BTW........I actually think the taxes will be raised on everyone; again only if you believe what he says. He will go back to Clinton's tax rates. Guess what, EVERYONE's taxes were higher under Clinton. Except those who didn't pay any taxes. They were simply given a handout. Notice the messiah's use of terms. Very clever.

What are you doing with your one hand?

you can read, right? The article clearly says, "the 5% who won't get a tax cut." I'm certain you noticed that that's not the same as suggesting that 5% will see a tax increase.

suggested it would be 'patriotic'!

So 95% get a tax reduction without raising anyone else's? If I were you, I would sign on to Ohbama's campaign. They need more mathemeticians like you.

Another source near and dear to liberals: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,3758648.story

"The Obama campaign contended that the overwhelming majority of Americans would not see a tax increase under his plan, only the wealthiest 5% or so."

Again, I ask you, have you read the proposal? Do you know how the brackets will change? Do you know the income above which the tax rate remains unchanged? The income above which the rate increases? Do you know how these differ from McCain's proposal? Do you know how to spell mathematics?

will go up if the Bush tax cuts are rolled back?

EVERYONE's! LOL

That's why I quite frankly don't believe what Ohbama has said about the top 5%.

Wouldn't it be nice to one day have a Republican who doesn't stumble over their words and can effectively answer a question? Katie Couric tripped her up. Katie Couric!

I lost focus after about the second minute....when she flashed some tongue and licked her finger.
