Obama is essentially supporting a return to the pre-Bush Clinton era tax system (a simplification sure).

How does that take us back to the Carter years, when taxes were much higher?

These guys were alive back then, and they sound like they have no idea what they're talking about!

It hurts to say it, but if McCain actually wins this thing, we are screwed. He'll either completely sink the economy, put us on the brink of a gas crisis or entice the entire Middle East to join together to wipe us off the map. Or all three.

Lord help us.

What is the same between the two different pairs? Name it and we might believe it.

How do I summarize my Republican Party, economic elitist fixated on greed and profitering without the slightest remorse as to how it effects the insignificant nobodies that make up the general population.

Bottom line is are you better off today than you were prior to the administration of Gerorge W Bush. Well, if you are, you are one of the few. Tax breaks while they are nice and sound good on paper, were insignificant for the vast majority of tax paying Americans. However, the result of the tax cuts was far from insignificant. A booming deficit, reduced programs, and a increase in special interest programs, not onlt Democrates have Special interest programs you know, it's just that before Bush, some of them were actually paid for.

DEMONSTRATE THE COURAGE OF YOUR CONVICTIONS

Republicans talking about failed policies.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm open to ideas from both candidates, but McCain has a lot of explaining and convincing to do in my opinion.

Actually, the economy was headed for a recession even in 2001. The current administration used war to drive the economy and it worked for a little while. Unfortunately, this isn't 1942. WWII economics do not apply here. What we should have done was stay out of Iraq and proactively try to reinforce our economy. Outsourcing jobs, tax breaks for the obscenely rich, subsidies for big oil companes (who were never watched to make sure that they were actually trying to improve our situation), and ignoring the impending doom on the futures market was not exactly the best route to take, but here we are, and with a ton of debt because of Iraq! Thanks, President Bush! Don't thank the Democratic congress. Thank the Bush administration's fear tactics and warmongering while ignoring domestic issues.

I urge anyone who cares about the future of this country to vote for Obama. He's not perfect, but he's a far better option than McCain. So far Obama has shown that he has a better grasp of the economic situation than McCain has. That gets my vote.

There are many factors to include in the equation and frankly, it would seem to be sensible to consider policies from the '60s and other alternatives versus the failure of policies implemented over the past 8 years.

We too are watching and lsitening for a President that will get your economy moving in a positive direction......giving the trickle down impact on us here in the Caribbean.

We Obama Democrats will do just like the Regan Republicans... turn the page on a presidency that has impacted us directly. That presidency is two terms of GW Bush and the Promise of McBush 3rd, if McCain is elected.

We do not want You Rich Boy or the Old Geezer to shape our future.

Good Day!

Another bag of hot air!!!!

He repeatedly talks about REAGAN and now CARTER. That was 20 or 30 years ago! 60's??? We had Kennedy and Johnson ...Totally different circumstances and economic climate.

Once again Mitt uses horrible analogies and keeps trying compare himself to Reagan. The only thing Mitt knows how to do is con, scam and swindle people to make his fortunes.

what is WRONG with you-read a book, read a magazine, go to his website. THE GUY'S IDEAS ARE THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE FUTURES OF YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN!!!

You Mr. Slick Hair need to stop talking, because McCain is going to pick a Female to run to get the Hillary angry women voters.

You were so far behind McCain in the Rep. Primaries that it is just plain sad that you are grabbing at the crumbs.

Please go away and run your multi-million dollar buisness. Your government experience is lacking

I am tired of the black people always using the racial card but they are being the most prejudice of all because most of them voted for Obama because he is black and not because of his issues. I am still shocked how a candidate who had 18 million voters still lost out to a candidate with no substance. I want you 18 million voters to put Clinton's name on the ballots and spoil the ballot, stay at home or if you really want to show your anger against the democratice party go out and vote for McCain. If Hillary Clinton had been a male candidate what the DNC and Howard Dean did to her, they would never had done the same thing to him. It's a gender bias thing and I am surprised that you women who voted for Obama would not support your own and show the men of america that we are strong and capable of being the commander in chief. I am disappointed in you women because I see that you are still insecure in the power that you have and still feel that it takes a man to be the president. That's why women will never get ahead because they feel that a man can do a better job. If we feel this way about ourselves then therefore the men will always have the power and we will always have to take the backseat.

Come on you women, you can still do it for Clinton and show these men that we are strong and capable of running this country. Stop hiding behind the men and use our power to get a woman elected.

quit trying to demonize carter, dont insult our intelligence. he may not have been an effective leader, but carter had many good ideas that would have evolved this country light years ahead of the mess we are now!! and HE knows more about the middle east than mccain could ever know in ten lifetimes; carter unfortunately was a president ahead of his time. you dont have to like him, but if you're going to blindly follow your repug leaders, you DO have to actually KNOW something about the topic.

these guys played you like violins; they count on you being dumb and choosing to stay dumb. why do you let them think for you? you are WELCOME to come to the same conclusions they do BUT you have to actually have knowledge of the topic. what is it about you that you hand over your power and "brain" to people who have ABSOLUTELY NO concern for you and your families?? give it some thought, and then GET OVER IT!!!! even the SCARECROW knew he needed a brain!!

This is real. Look at the people they want to call an elitist. Look how much people would save under Obama. If it was up to McCain, you would save nothing. Under McCain, the rich save more and the middle and poor get nothing back. No way I am voting for McCain.
______________________________________________________

Who are you talking to–saying"you would save nothing" My family makes 130,000 per year. We are certainly not "rich"–just working people. Looks to me like McCain would do more for me. Obama just wants to make everyone else pay for the poor. Sorry, but if you can't afford healthcare for your children–THEN STOP BREEDING. You want an education–then apply for a GUARANTEED federal loan and get off your backside and make something of yourself. I'm so tired of the whining and sense of entitlement.

And I believe I speak to majority of the country in saying that Mitt Romney is a broken record. I'd much prefer to listen to Warren Buffet (who likes Senator Obama).

But no, we can credit our Republican leaders instead for enriching corrupt oil companies instead. They certainly have their priorities set, oil companies and not the American public or our truck drivers.

Jimmy had the decency to know right from wrong. Mitt Romney only knows how to fabricate the economy.

IF YOU REALLY LOVE AND SUPPORT WOMEN, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS POSTING FROM SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES "OVERTURN ROE V WADE"...

Over Turn It Roe V Wade June 10th, 2008 10:19 pm ET

Hillary supporters welcome to the right side. We will have a push this time to stop the MURDER of babies. Glad that you have seen the light and will vote McCain this time. Obama is for gay rights and we need to keep marrage between a MAN and a WOMAN. They want to uphold Roe V Wade but we will shoot it down now. It is my hope that with your help we can overturn some of this left wing stuff.
Vote Life Vote McCain08

That said, Obama is an empty suit who is NOT pushing change except in his slogan. The truth comes out more and more and you all will have buyers remorse very soon whether you admit it or not.

Did you take the time to read that article, or just look at those figures? Under both plans, taxes are reduced. And taking the entire tax proposals into consideration, Sen. McCain's plan beats Sen. Obama's.

Overall, the average take-home income would rise 2% under Sen. McCain's plan. It would only rise .03% under Sen. Obama's plan. It's not fair to tax higher income Americans more than lower income Americans, but that is exactly what Sen. Obama proposes, he wants to tax the heck out of the higher income and give huge breaks to the lower. Take a look at the demographics here, who is he trying to help and who is he trying to hurt? And don't get me started on his Capital Gains Tax increase.

By the way, I don't make much and would benefit from his plan more now. I educated myself, work hard and plan to make my way into the higher brackets. It's better up there under McCain.
