Your turn: Who do you like for president, and why?

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.
Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax him 'til he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and there was prosperity, absolutely no national debt, the largest middle class in the world
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?????

he will raise taxes on everybody ! don't fall for that 95% of americans will get tax cuts do the math there is no way the top 5% will be able to support the country and as far as the 169,000 goes any couple that went to college and got a degree would be in that bracket never mind that they have a house payment or maybe a couple of kids that they want to send to a good college and are saving for it ! you got to be a real nut to think that by raising taxes on small bussinesses and large corps are a good idea during a economic down turn plus now factor in the fanie mae / freddie mac fiasco and tell me your taxes won't be raised ! you.ve been drinking that obama kool aid to even think that will work i have that receipe for the kool aid i will post it next !!

P.S. IF YOU WILL REFER TO COMMENT # 7.1.1 IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE FOLKS I'M SPEAKING OF ALREADY HAD A DEGREE AND A FAMILY A HOME AND SO FORTH! THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE EFFECTED THE MOST FROM THE TAX PLAN... THE ONES WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED A LIFE AND A COMFORT LEVEL THAT WILL BE BUSTED UP WITH HIS NEW TAX PLAN !

Who got Obama started in his political career? William Ayers, of course, and he is the Weather Underground bomber. And Obama began his career, his coming out party in 1995, in Ayers and Bernadine Dorns home.
And then for, you know, some 20 years, Obama has been working with Ayers, certainly since 1995, on a series of foundations: the Annenberg Foundation and the Woods Foundation. They are on boards of directors together, and in the Annenberg Foundation, Ayers created it, and Obama was on it. And together they spent the money of these foundations to implement their radical socialist agenda.
A lot of people say, no, they just know each other. They're not friends. Just because -- you know, just because they worked on boards together.
Obama was in 1995 going to take the seat of Alice Palmer, who is also an extreme socialist. She's an African-American who had actually gone to Russia and had attended communist party meetings and reported on them. And it was all very much of a leftist gathering.
Ayers and Dorns were like the stamp of approval on Obama, introducing them to their click of leftist friends for funding and for advancing his candidacy. So that very beginning was a chosen intentionally association with Ayers and Dorns to launch Obama`s career, and Obama knew exactly what he was doing picking him. Senator Obama is the one who's saying, "This is just another guy in my neighborhood," but in fact, that's not true at all. It may turn out to be that they had a much closer relationship through their work together on the Annenberg Challenge to create their ideas to control the government and its people that's the challenge!
His agenda -- I believe, in 2001, in which Ayers was unrepentant, saying that he wished he bombed more. And obama's greatest influence is
Saul Alinsky he was a radical socialist organizer. His main book was "Rules for Radicals." His methodology was you go in as a community organizer. That means, really, a rabble-rouser.
You rub raw the discontent of the community, almost in a communist sense. You find class antagonisms. You learn to speak the grievances in the people's own logic and language, and then you go for radical redistribution of income and wealth through gaming power and mobilizing the community. Making them think that your working for them by doing small stuff that seems to help but ultimately you gain far more than the people you help it's a trick to get them on your side because it seems you care about them and in turn they move you to the top of the political ladder!
The connection to Saul Alinsky is In
Fact this, Alinsky had to change as his mantra. And by it, he meant radical socialist redistribution of income from the haves to the have-nots. That was the primary purpose.
Alinsky dedicated "Rules to Radicals" to Lucifer, whom he called the first radical. And he said it was a Machiavellian approach, which means you’ll lie, do whatever you need to do to get power, because the haves were going to lose to the have-nots, who were being championed by this community organizer. (Obama)
The theme is common that Senator Obama made in San Francisco about people are bitter, clinging to God and to guns. That is actually a paraphrase of something Saul Alinsky wrote in that same book, in "Rules for Radicals."
A very condescending view that he has of the middle class as people who are lost, who -- he says that they turn bitter, because they cling to certain fixed points that are elusory, but very real to them. They ask questions that Alinsky considers meaningless, like what does our flag mean to you? Interestingly, something that was just said at the Republican convention. That's Alinsky. You know, obama’s his influence coming through.
Just take a look at his taxation policies. He wants to increase capital gains, because he says they're unfair.
The point is that he clings to this relationship. And he's even defending Ayers now. His campaign is defending Ayers, despite the fact that he's an unrepentant terrorist who set bombs and may, according to congressional testimony, may have even been involved or had knowledge of a bombing that killed somebody. That's the important thing.
Alinsky taught to say whatever is necessary to get power. That's the Machiavellian approach. When Obama articulates policy positions, especially moving to the center, it may be completely calculated. We will not see the real Obama until its too late then we are going to be stuck in a radical system that will take a civil war to get out of!
JUST SO YOU KNOW SAUL ALINSKY’S BOOK “RULES FOR RADICALS “ WAS DEDICATED TO LUCIFER ! THE VERY FRIST RADICAL !

45.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail - Lie, both companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no records of any such letters ever being created or sent.
46.) My Wife Didn't Mean What She Said About Pride In Country - Lie, your wife's words follow lock-step in the vein of Wright and Farrakhan, in relation to their contempt and hatred of America.
47.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn't Support - Lie, your wife has received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.
48.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - Lie, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.
49.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - Lie, your wife's pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate (going from $120K to $320K weeks after you got into the US Senate and tried to get a $1 million pork project for the very same hospital) and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
50.) I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - Lie, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko's wife buys the lot beside it that you can't afford, saving you $625,000.
51.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - Lie, you only gave back Hsu ($72K [Yes, the same Hsu, Obama supporters try to tie Clinton to]) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN, it's $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
52.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - Lie, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrakhan their person of the year.
53.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - Lie, you only recently repudiated Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
54.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - Lie, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Mr. Auchi was also found guilt in another political corruption scandal (largest in France since WWII). And this is one of Obamas' good supporters that paid millions into the Obama campaign.
55.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright's, that have been in videos on You Tube all day - Lie! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa speech you said "Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did." FLIP-FLOPPER
56.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - Lie. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. Could it be that you had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton's and McCain's more than a year before!
57.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - Lie. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. He also seems to despise America as much as Rev. Wright.
58.) My wife didn't mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - Lie. Again, MicHELLe's comments are perfectly in sync with Wright's, Meeks', and Farrakhan's, both in language, anger, and direction.
59.) I am very Anti-Terror - Lie. One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed Khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren't there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.
60.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - Lie. You and your campaign buddy Penny 'Sub Prime Bank Collapse' Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
61.) I played a greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - Lie - It was found that Obama -- the day after sitting for the interview -- filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama's own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey. html version

We already know Barack Hussein Obama has no experience and no plan, but boy does he give great speeches.... or does he?

If there is anyone out there that doesn't know this; this is the best visual presentation I ever saw. just remember who did this when you vote....
Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,
That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,
That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and
That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and if we get a Social Security check every month we are finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to Dwight Eisenhower
34th. President, Republican,
in 1958 the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.
If I recall correctly, it was a democratically Controlled Congress. And From what I understand, the Congress logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for. Then comes Lyndon Johnson 36th.President,a Democrat
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson a Democrat, and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party. Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Albert Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S. Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right! (Jimmy Carter) a Democrat, and the Democratic Party. Voted to give
Immigrants who moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! TheDemocratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people read this, maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not,

The top 1% of earners earns 22% of the income and pays 40% of the taxes. So, that leaves 60% of the taxes to be paid by 99% of the people. Please, tell me what is fair in this equation. How much more does Obama want them to do? And, when Obama says 95% of the American people will get a tax cut, he forgets to say that 40% pay NO tax. So, while some do get a tax cut, he'll be sending a new "welfare" check to those that never paid in the first place. That's socialism, folks!

J. D. Pendry
Have you ever held a job that required a simple background investigation or a security clearance? For much of my time in the Army, my duties required that I have a top secret security clearance. The special background investigation conducted to get and then maintain a top secret security clearance is quite extensive. One must provide 15 years of personal history consisting of references, credit records, relatives, neighbors, affiliations with organizations, workplaces, schools and you name it - and they are all checked. Each 5 years thereafter, all of the information must be updated and checked again. Your life is an open book and if you try to hide any of that your security clearance is lost and you could face serious criminal charges for hiding it. Some of my military jobs required that I be trusted with critically sensitive national security information. The security clearances, which gave me access to information that certainly would damage our national security if it ended up in the wrong hands, was not as high as a Whitehouse level security clearance.
So, whenever I hear about a politician, especially one who wants to be our president, refusing to release documents about his personal life it makes me distrust that person with the security of my family and country. Anyone who is not bothered by that either does not realize what is at stake or is just plain ignorant of the world in which we live and the potential for the rapid destruction of our country by our enemies. With the stroke of a pen, the President of the United States can declassify sensitive national security information. When your political alliances include self-admitted communists and people who think it is cute to have their pictures taken standing on the American flag that for me is a problem. Don’t you find it disconcerting that Privates in the Army who work with sensitive information and equipment are more investigated and must meet more stringent security requirements than a potential Commander in Chief? I do.
Remember 2004? Dan Rather produced fraudulent and forged documents about George Bush’s military service. Everything about President Bush was scrutinized and largely mischaracterized by the media. John Kerry on the other hand was defended. John Kerry who refused then and still refuses to release his complete military records. Before it was sent into cyber hell, I reviewed the DD Form 214 that John Kerry posted on his website. Within 30 seconds, I saw problems that the average person without knowledge of such records would not have noticed. One of his awards was listed as a Silver Star Medal with a V device. It was clearly an amateurish attempt to present a hero to Americans. In case you might not know it, a Silver Star is awarded for Combat Valor. There is no V device (for Valor) affixed to a Sliver Star. The V device is affixed to awards that are given for Combat Valor when the same award might also be earned for meritorious achievement. Examples are the Bronze Star Medal or the Army Commendation Medal. The second red flag on Mr. Kerry’s DD 214 was the annotation on his discharge concerning a review by a Board of Officers in the authority for discharge. The only reason this annotation would appear on a DD 214 is that if a Board of Officers were required to review for upgrade an Other than Honorable Discharge. If you need your memory refreshed, Thomas Lipscomb wrote interesting articles about Mr. Kerry's records. The authors of Fake Warriors talked about it. Mr. Kerry could have cleared up any mystery or allegation simply by releasing all of his military records for public scrutiny. He did not and the mainstream American media while campaigning for him did not insist that he do it either. Mr. Kerry had plenty of questionable political alliances and even documented meetings with the North Vietnamese in Paris while he was still a Naval Reserve officer that was also not addressed in the media. If all of this was widely reported, this charlatan would not have had even a tiny chance of being elected to the Presidency. Fortunately, enough of his history was known to prevent his election.
I only rehashed Mr. Kerry’s questionable record and history to demonstrate for you a pattern of deception by liberal candidates and their supportive Pravda like media sycophants attempting to conceal information that voters should know. This is the most dangerous combination in the history of our country. The world's worst and most dangerous leaders gained power under similar circumstances. Now, we have a candidate that refuses to release what should be harmless documents - his birth and school records. I am not trying to infer anything one way or the other concerning these records. Only that someone who wants to be my President and hold the security of my family and country in his hands should be happy to release documents that tell me who he is. You and I have a right to know. He has an obligation to tell us. The media has an obligation to insist that he does. When there is a refusal to release records, like John Kerry, I can only conclude that there is something to hide.
Would you allow someone to sit with your children or to protect your other most precious possessions “ like freedom - if you didn’t know everything possible to know about them?
