>Not to be racist, but why do you think Obama is taxing homes that make a tleast $250,000 or more for 50%? Because he wants to >give our money to African Americans. Think about that.
It is racist when it's turned from an economic issue to a racial issue, unless you have proof that only African Americans benefit.
Not to be racist, but wouldn't McCain (and republicans in general) be racist also? He, as a white person, wants and has given tax breaks to rich people, who are almost all white. By using your logic, McCain is also racist and even more so because if you compared rich people to poor people in regards to being the same race, the rich have an awfully high percentage of white people, while the poor are more of a mixed group.
>That is what the UK's taxes are, but you get health care and other benefits from that. If I am making $300,000 a year, and am used to >having $230,000, but now I am being taxed for 50%, and now only have $150,000 after taxes, then I will have to change my life style. >What if people can't continue to pay their mortgages because of this???
Assuming that's true, if you can't get by on $150K a year, then there's something wrong with you. I don't know, go with one less yacht, don't live in such a huge mansion, or in McCain's case, sell some of them: you know there's something wrong with you (or the system) when you don't know how many houses you have. As of now, a lot more people in the lower incomes are having problems paying their mortgages, and sub-prime mortgage banks are collapsing. Let's worry about that and not whether or not wealthy people can afford their mortgage on what must be a really expensive mansion if you're making $150K/ year and can't pay it off all at once.
>Obama is taking money from the only people who are putting money into the economy,
Really? I see hundreds of non rich people in town contributing to the economy every day. Are you and Player1 related? (He's the one that said only the rich spend money) Plus rich people can put money in the bank, a luxury poorer people can do less.
>and now he leaving them with less money to spend, so now retailers will be hurt more.
I suppose the yacht and higher end retailers will be hurt more, but lower end retailers will benefit. Plus see note above about the rich and putting money in the bank
>Obama's economic plans are incredibly stupid. Why else would he want a %50 tax on for the most part, "non- African Americans." >He wants to give African Americans money, by taking from Caucasians.
And McCain wants to keep money away from all minorities, by keeping it to the rich. That argument (which I don't support either way) can go both ways.
>You might call be a racist or a bigot, but I am not the one who went to a racist church for 10 years, and listened to some crackpot old >fool tell me how evil white people are....
Let's assume that was true. I'd rather someone listen to a "crackpot old fool" for what, about 2 hours a week, than someone, for roughly 40 hours a week (average working week) listen to and agree with 90% to a "crackpot old fool" who affects hundreds of millions more people by stagnating the economy, costing us billions of dollars and many lives in a war for oil, basically (but we're still paying $4 a gallon on), among other things.
