It's amazing to me, given all these failures, Republican bloggers post and post completely oblivious to their party's dismal record. "

" Enuff: I'm not sure its that cut and dried. Corporations pay taxes on their profits, not gross revenues/sales. Secondly,if corps. pay more taxes, individuals in theory would pay less taxes, allowing consumers to purchase more from the corps. I'm sure this could be argued several ways. You know what they say about economists... Home Girl...you obviously have access to the internet, please read an unbiased/nonpartisan comparism of Obama's tax plan. You are either grossly misinformed or simply don't understand. "

" I agree with enuffalready... When you tax a corporation, you tax its shareholders and customers. Those taxes are just another business expense which get passed along all of us as customers and investors. I am 'BIG OIL' because I have oil company stocks in my 401K. You probably are too... When the big corporate tax increases you demand go through, the pain you feel in your foot will be from shooting yourself in it. "

" How many of the tax increases would effect me? Well, Obama is talking about doubling income taxes - that effects me. Imposing a 40% tax on the gain of a home sale would effect me as a homeowner. OK, the inheritence tax would not effect me because my parents are already gone and my poor mother-in-law has nothing. Can you handle your income taxes doubled? And our income is below poverty level, therefore, we will get hit hard - just like all the other low and middle income folks out there. "Crank" does have a point, both sides are at fault, not just one party. "

" To Rickey, I bet You are a mind-numbed partisan just like Big Spender because you cannot or will not acknowledge that current problems in this country can be attributed as much to the democrat-controlled congress as to the guy in the oval office. It seems there's plenty of blame for both parties to go pointing fingers at the other side. It's so typical of idiots on both sides to focus on blaming one party or the other rather than realizing the problem is with career politicians (in both parties) whose interests are self-serving and act on a purely partisan basis. Wise up and start demanding more from ALL of our leaders rather than just being critical of the ones who aren't in 'your party'. "

Don't fall into the trap that corporations don't pay enough taxes. Corporations don't pay any taxes. You and I (the consumers)pay their taxes. If their taxes are raised, its the same as raising taxes on us. "

" Home Girl: Duh! Let me spoon feed it to you. Big Spender cites job a creation number, which is a dubious measure on its own, and attibutes the rise and fall of that number to the party who happens to be in the White House. You see, Home Girl, Big Spender's comments can usually be boiled down to Democrats=GOOD, Republicans=VERY BAD. In a global economy, there are too many factors affecting US employment numbers beyond the control of the President to give them credit or blame. To do that would be just as stupid as blaming the President for cancer. "

" I'm disappointed in this site. It doesn't address the real problem. Most of us don't know how to manage our money. Few of us are keeping a budget and sticking to it and almost all of us are in debt making payments to the bank instead of paying ourselves with it instead. Buying cars on payments instead of saving and buying outright and investing the difference costs the average person millions over their lifetimes. That makes a couple cents a gallon of gas look pretty petty. "

" to "CRANK"
What a STUPID thing to say!!!! A Democrate was in the White House when I was diagnosed with cancer. What does that prove? Nothing!!!! And if anyone is looking at reality, Obama plans on doubling our taxes. He plans on re-instating the inheritence tax and the capital gains tax on the sale of a home - up to 40%! Don't let him fool you, he has some really expensive ideas. Democrates usually do. "

My Favorite thing he does is call it Bush/McSame......when in the last election Kerry wanted "McSame" to be his running mate.
