I am NOT shilling for McSame in any way shape or form here, but just want all to see what Obama's tax increases will be like -- and that he's NOT a 'libertarian'.


Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:


CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000
Per home (couples) McCain does not
Propose any change in existing
Home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales

How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you
Will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement
And would like to down-size your
Home or move into a retirement
Community, 28% of the money you
Make from your home will go to taxes. This
Proposal will adversely affect the
Elderly who are counting on the income
From their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN 15% (no change)

OBAMA 39.6%

How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock
Market, IRA, mutual funds,
College funds, life insurance, retirement
Accounts, or anything that pays
Or reinvests dividends, you will now
Be paying nearly 40% of the money
Earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that 'higher
Tax rates on dividends and capital gains
Would crash the stock market yet
Do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN (no changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750


Under Obama your taxes will
More than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation
Needed. This is pretty
Straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families
Have lost businesses,
Farms and ranches, and homes
That have
Been in their families
For generations because they could not
Afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved
Ones will not only lose them to< BR>these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on
Homes that are more than
2400 square feet

* New gasoline taxes (as if
Gas weren't high enough already)

* New taxes on natural resources
Consumption (heating
Gas, water, electricity)

* New taxes on retirement accounts
And last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
So we can receive the same
Level of medical care as other
Third-world countries!!!

Hmmm....this is believable but coming from a top 20 contributor to McCain's campaign, it might be slightly bias?? any corroboration of these statements?

I agree that taxes will probably go up.
At least though spending, for the war, will probably go up less than taxes.
You can't spend more and tax less like Bush.

Taxes WILL go up under McCain.

He's meant to be the republican, so you can't have tax rises as a default position.

There will be a "crisis", soo "reluctantly - we will have to raise taxes". ... :rolleyes:

So let me get this straight...

Obama's plan= Spend a shit load of money. Collect most of that money from the taxpayers

McCain's plan= Spend a shit load of money. Either print the money or borrow it from china.

In a way Obama almost seems more responsible then McCain. At least the people will directly feel the effects of funding a big government under Obama. With McCain's plan the dollar will just continue to tank and the majority of the people will never understand why.


Taxes just cloud the issue. The real discussion should be on the expenses, and it should just be assumed taxes will equal the expenses.
