I guess her wording was misleading. She should have said "I put it up for sale on Ebay", rather than "I sold it on Ebay".

Kind of reminds me of the wording in the Obama talking point of "McCain voting "with" Bush". You guys adamently defended him on that, so I guess I will do the same for Palin.

If Palin's wording being misleading makes her a liar. Does that make Obama a one too?

Let me say this so that everyone in the cheap seats can hear me.

I have never said I had anything against any compnay making a damn profit........I am saying that you don't take the same profit and huge tax breaks and ship job overseas, screwing the American workers who helped build your company in the first [!@#$%^&*] place. Like BO has said, he will reward huge taxbreaks for companies who invest in the American workforce, and not do what Charter Communications did.......close the branch office here in St. Louis and ship the office out of the country. Do you know where I now have to call if something is wrong with my cable?

The [!@#$%^&*] Phillipines!

Ok? Does that clear it up for you? I really hope so. :D

Actually I am more confused than ever! Obama has stated several times (and on his website) that he will role back the Bush tax breaks for corporations.

Is he just going to give tax breaks to companies that come back, or all businesses that do business here in the USA?

I know it's not the latter because how can you claim to increase taxes on business(wealthy) unless they do business here.

So, I guess he will give tax breaks to businesses that return to the US. I wonder then how long will it be before they begin to be taxed on the same level as the businesses that chose never to leave in the first place?

We ARE in a recession! You WILL NOT be taxed to high heaven. You will be taxed little to none than what you are this time, unless you make more than $250,000 if married or $200,000 if single.

A person does NOT have to be a vet to serve as President.

McCain and Palin are filled with lies and untruths and both gave absolutely horrible speeches.

Yeah right!!??! Remember "Read My Lips No New Taxes"???

Obama/Biden WILL NOT increases taxes on the country as a whole. That's a damned lie. Obviously you did NOT listen to Barack Obama's speech.

True Roman! B)

Exactly Roman! :D

I found the answer to my question on Obama's website.

I am still left with more questions. I guess Obama's fiscal policies are more complex than I will ever begin to realize.

I am just not understanding how Obama will tax corporations, the weathly, and windfall profits on one hand and then give rebates on the other. Which will outweigh the other? Where are the specific numbers?

What I like about McCain's plan is that it is much simpiler and easier to understand. He will not increase taxes on business.

That's a lie as well. Those taxes on businesses and the rich shall be put back on by Obama/Biden! This record breaking deficit of W & Dick's will greatly improve with Obama/Biden.

The mortgage crisis was caused by W/Dick's policies.

The improved economy under Bill Clinton was NOT short-lived at all. It lasted 8 damned years. W & Dick's Iraq war and deal with big oil for high gas and oil prices.

CEO's should NOT be allowed to be paid as much as many are, especially at the expense of consumers and their employees. Tax rebates for those countries that do NOT move jobs to foreign soil will help jobs stay in the US and even bring some jobs back to the US.

This woman cannot even speak for herself. But the GOP is probably smart for that since all the info that has come out about her being racist and a bitch.

Great post. Short and full of the truth! :D

Actually, we aren't. (in a recession)

What if you happen to own a business that has an income of more than $250,000? Obama's plan does not take into account that you might employ others and that you aren't actually able to use that income on only yourself. Many reinvest their income in their business and use it to pay employees..etc..

That comment was in reference to your comment about McCain.."The manure's really gotten deep now when McCain said "I work for you"....IA a president does not have to be a vet.

:huh:

At least his plans state that he wont...unlike Obama's

Obama/Biden most certainly will increase taxes on the country as a whole! Again, they may not raise taxes on the middle class, but they will increase the amount of money that is going into the national treasury to fund the many programs that they intend to initiate. By increasing the amount of money going to the federal government, how then are they not raising taxes on the country as a whole? Remember "whole" means everyone, not just you and me.

Here is another way of looking at it. I'll use Coca Cola Co. as an example. Say Obama gets elected, he will increase taxes on Coke's "windfall" profits, capital gains, income...etc..

What do you think Coke is going to in turn do? They will raise the cost of a Coke to supplement their increased cost. You will be paying more for your Coke. If you were an employee of Coke you will also be potentially paying, because increased prices will cause a decrease in sales. Decreased sales and increased taxes will cause Coke to employee less people.

Taxes on corporations are embedded in everything you buy. You may not pay more taxes directly, but they will trickle down to you. That is what is wrong with bottom-up economics.

Oh, I see what YOU are saying, and I see your point. It's just that there are many companies, unfortunately, that outsource to cut hourly wages and for the fact that in other countries they would either not have to pay healthcare insurance or have to pay very little.

IA with a Fair Tax. My biggest psuh is for companies to invest in America, ad not make the fewer richer while the many are not getting a fair shake. I see what you are saying. :)

So then, in your opinion, what caused the 2001 recession?

How so? Based on all of the facts that I have read it was caused by Democratic legislation from the late 90's early 00's that relaxed mortgage guidelines.

So why did it not last past 8 years? Why did it end before he left office?

    • Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.
    • Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.
    • I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.
    • Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol
    • Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.
    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
