Bill Richardson Lowers Tax Ceiling to $120K!!!
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 1:23 PM

RICHARDSON: What Obama wants to do is is he is basically looking at $120 thousand and under among those that are in the middle class and there is a tax cut for those.

Mc Cain's Spending Freeze
The bottom line;

Obama thinks we are not taxed enough.

McCain thinks we are spending too much.

Here is the deal!
Under $250,000 per year, allegedly no tax increase. Under $120,000 per year, allegedly a tax cut.

Of course, the facts will be that if you now pay income tax, then you will get a tax increase. If you now pay no income tax, then you will get a check. What a deal!

Unless You
Unless you have lived in his state of New Corrupt New Mexico you dont know the real Crook!
He is crooked from the word GO! He takes the money he gets from the federal government and pockets it, he makes promise with schools and then denys them the money, oh but he can afford a new Jet he scoots around in on New Mexicans dime. He cares only about Richardson and Getting his cut of the Big Oil and Gas in The State of New Mexico. He can condemn big corps but he is one of the first guys with his hand out for donations. He is a Crook and an Hypocrite!
YOu don't know him at all!!

Bill Richardson

Bill Richarson comes off as such a nice guy doesn't he?

I like Bill Richarson as a person.

I don't like the fact that he was energy secretary while the Chinese were stealing nuclear and missle secrets from the U.S. because he was too trusting.

I don't like the fact that Bill Richarson was one of the Clinton Adm. advisors involved in getting N. Korea's nuclear program up and running.

Nice guy? Yes. Naive? Definately. Hes now an advisor for Obama.

That is a darned fine statement!

Can one buy stock in strip clubs, video poker places, bars and liquor stores? These look like a growth market if'n Obama is elected!
LuLu writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 7:05 PM
I guess productive people
just need to start working less. Or maybe since we will all be broke we won't buy anything so we can tank the economy and destroy what's left of the US manufacturing sector.

Or we could go into the types of businesses that will be stimulated by Obama's welfare checks like strip clubs, video poker, bars, liquor stores, etc.

Obama don't even take care
of his own blood relatives -- he has an aunt in the Boston slums and a uncle in a hut in Keyna.

So, if he don't take care of his own, he sure ain't goin' to take care of you!
Say What? writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 6:45 PM
No tax increase!
Fact is everyone's taxes will go up from $42K earnings. Barack and Joe Biden voted for those increases and they will sign off on them as soon as they can.

Barack told us all today that if we don't want to pay more tax we're "selfish." How about our families Barack? How will we take care of them with your plan?

Nobody making a wage 'doesn't' pay taxes. We all do, regardless what your lying republican shills tell you,
_____________
More name calling from the nonproductive Americans who hate their fellow citizens and think we should give money in taxes so they get checks. 40% of the filers in the lowest brackets do not pay taxes per the IRS report that can be googled for 2007. If you don't pay taxes but get a refund, that's a welfare check.

Tax cut?
There is a young lady that works at with me at an engineering firm. She make 19/hour and has NO income tax deducted from her check because she has four children. She is not married to either father, but they do provide medical insurance and child support (200/week)

She voted for Obama so her REBATE will be higher next year

How did Limbaugh get into the conversation? I rarely listen to him. You got the hots for him, or something?

You didn't answer the question as to which do I believe -- one is likely correct.

My ole daddy took me to stockyards when I was a kid and taught me how to recognize crooked cattle dealers -- he called them "pinhookers." Now, I've forgotten a lot of what he told me about smiles, phrases, looks, etc., but I do remember enough to recognize one. Obama is a pinhooker when it comes to taxes!

The Tax Man
*
___Heres a little insight into the tax SCHEME that we Chicagoans are forced to live with, under BARACK OBAMA's Leadership:

“In 2003, Sen. Obama voted to raise the sales taxes on consumers by $59 million dollars, reinstate the state death tax that would have given grieving families a $45 million bill for new taxes, and force family farmers to shoulder $74 million in new higher taxes.

“He didn’t stop there. Sen. Obama also sought to tax life insurance so many families rely on in Illinois in an attempt to raise $9 million for the state. Not even bankruptcy cases were sacred, as he hoped to get an additional $4 million by taxing them at a time when people and small businesses need the most possible help. Sen. Obama wanted to go so far as to strip the rights of business owners to appeal unfair property tax valuations.

“By encouraging such anti-business tax policies in Chicago and Illinois while serving in the state legislature, Sen. Obama made neighboring cities and states more attractive to employers and employees who could benefit from higher wages."

Lies
What Barack Obama actually does is give "tax credits" or "checks" to people based on their virtual non-productive status. You see.....if you don't work....this handout has nothing to do with taxes....and everything to do with a welfare payout. Simple economics.....
Dose of Reality writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 4:46 PM
LIES
NO ONE GETS A TAX CUT....the marginal rates stay the same (except those making over $150K, $200K, $250K or whatever other number we will hear between now and Tuesday.)

What BHO does is give "tax credits" or checks to people based on certain criteria such as low income, age, if you have kids in college, if you have a "green" car etc....

Who are we to believe -- "our lyin' eyes" or "our lyin' ears?

I have no idea who is telling the truth, Biden, Obama or Richardson, but I do know one thing. . .
Anybody who believes he or she will receive a tax cut under Obama has their head way, way up their stern checking for light leaks!

Actually, I know another thing too. Those of us who make 100K or thereabouts had better start looking for some sort of tax shelter or find a grunch of deductions.

Can someone logically explain
why people who already pay no income tax should get any tax cut at all?
tmac writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 3:54 PM
Top 5%
I finally made it to the top 5% of the tax payers. It isn't as exciting as I once thought it would be. I had hoped that it would mean that I am finally a millionair, not a "Thousand-Air"
foxmustang writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 3:14 PM
We can......
get the ceiling on that "tax break" (reads welfare) down to only those who don't work or pay taxes at all.
The drug dealers will flourish......they will be the only ones who will reap the eventual benefits of this "economic stimulus" hand-out.
American Sweetheart  writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 2:52 PM
how many more days
until that constantly lowering ceiling hits me on the head?
Jane writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 2:19 PM
It's liberal math
We just keep seeing that middle class sink lower and lower under Obama. First it was 250K, then it was 250k for a family, then Jow B told us 150K and now this latest surrogate owns up to 120K.

Pretty soon the middle class is going to be anyone actually paying taxes. So much for that promise of "soaking the rich."
eddie too writes: Friday, October, 31, 2008 2:19 PM
Obama, Jr. voted to raise taxes

on people making over $41,999. Why would anyone believe him now when he says he has moved that up to either $250,000 or $200,000 or $150,000 or now through Richardson to $120,00?

Obama, Jr. is taking the ignorant and stupid voters for a ride. Hopefully, there are more informed and intelligent voters than there are ignorant and stupid.

When was the last time a Democrat cut taxes? Foolish, foolish people!!

Buy stock in McNEIL-PPC
because they make KY-Jelly so we can lube up for the coming massive loveless screwing from Obama the man/boy who wants to scrap the Constitution because it does not express his socialist/Marxist beliefs.

The Incredible Shrinking Tax Ceiling
This reminds me of those Indiana-Jones-like scenes in movies where the walls keep closing in and the action-hero has only a few seconds to get out before being crushed.

In Obama's reality show, the superheroes are the taxpayers.

The crazies on the left like Maxine Waters can be dismissed. But Richardson? Is he trying to screw over his campaign? Bad move, Bill.

whatever
if you want to scrutinize any remark made by anyone associated with the campaign and then claim to have found some hidden agenda be my guest


if you want to actually look at the proposals made by Obama and McCain here are their tax plans
