Interesting.... (politics AGAIN, sorry)

yep watching the veiw everyday makes me nuts. I used to love Joy Behar but OMGOSH she has annoyed me to no end lately. I hate how they always cut Elizabeth off and they seem to think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread. .

i am not even considering hollywood in my analysis, thats a whole 'nother can of worms. if you are blind that 80-90% of the media is controlled by liberals, your blind. how is it that all of the debate moderators in this campaign were outwardly liberal. everyone except elizabeth on 'the view' are extreme liberals. katie couric (supposed to be unbiased is clearly not!), nbc is owned by GE who is highly liberal, they replaced all their news anchors with all liberals, 85% of newpapers support liberal propaganda. i could go on. that's not even a tip of the iceberg.

and yes, traci and i love eachother :wub: , we just have 'words' when it comes to politics. :D

Lizzy unless you make 600 thou + a year, in which case can I move in with you?, I think you're ok from Obama's "grubby" hands.

Not that it matters, but this aspect of the chart confused me. I thought Obama's plan raised taxes on any family making more than 250,000 dollars, not 600,000. Has he changed that? Link me up, people. I missed the boat on that one and I'm trying to stay as informed as humanely possible.
 
Oh I know that!! LOL I just thought to put into persepctive there should be a tax table to show the actual amounts. That graph was kinda misleading without seeing how much is actually paid in KWIM?
 
According to that chart:

There's no change for 200 to 600, unless the chart is incorrect
 
Bill Cosby is a little nuts for me to write in.

Maybe I'll write in Dane Cook......cuz I really don't know if I can stomach voting for either of the other 2. And at least he's hot. I know Traci and I agree on that :p
 
another thing I just thought I would mention while everyone is talking about taxable income those are not the only increases in taxes under Obamas plan as far as I understand. He has proposed tax increases on home sales, inheritances, retirement/401k. Anyone know anything about these?
 
I found a thread over at DST that mentioned FOX News too and put my 2 cents in but I am not gonna do it here cause I love you all too much!!!!!!! That is all I have to say about that!!!! I do agree with who ever it was that said Rush is a liar though...never liked him not even a little!!!!!
 
I am not going to state my opinions because my mind is made up and I seriously doubt anything will change it. I just wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU! Thank you for keeping the discussions civil, fun and nice. I just went to another digi site (you know which one) and am very surprised by the meanness of some posters. These are women that I once respected but now my feelings have changed.

Everyone is entitled to their own OPINION and should not be made to feel less of a person for that opinion. Nor should they be talked down to or made fun of for having a different opinion.
 
Yea totally! I love that about us here :) None of the political discussions have gotten nasty, and there have been PLENTY of them! Lol!

Long story short, SSD rocks my socks :)
 
I agree as well. Politics really stresses me so I read and keep informed with all I can and try to make the decision I think is best for our family here but don't try to push my views on anyone. I have stayed away from the dst discussions because I get anxiety even reading the thread names LOL
 
I too tend to stay away from these types of discussions as well. I know what I believe to be right and what I want.

What I want:

FAIR TAX - I don't care if you make $100 or $1,000,000,000. Pay a flat 10% fee on what you make. I believe that is "fair".

I want the government to quit taking so much of my hard earned money and giving it to "social programs" that pay for people to sit on their arses and not better themselves.

I want politicians to stop the bickering and actually get something done and I want them to do it right the first time.

There are many other things that I really want (like for there to be no federal tax since it was supposed to be abolished after WWII was over) that I will never see happen. It's a very sad state that our country and economy are in. :(

Okay, I'll shut up now....
 
Since I was old enough to vote I have always been told by my parents and others that the only opinion that should matter is YOUR OWN....No one else has the right to think for you!!!

Don't know how I missed this one but YOU are so right Amanda...I did get sucked into a couple of those threads but I was playing nice!!!!
 
we truely are blessed to be surrounded by the most opinioned yet respectful people in the digi-community! amanda stated it perfectly. i wub everyone, even if your views are liberal...hehe...LOL!!!! :D
 
Dang after wading through some of those threads at DST (I haven't been there in months) I must say I need to not leave my bubble anymore..
 
LOL!!! I get a rage-y kinda feeling when I read the threads at DST. It really does seem as if no one has any respect for one another over there.

I think I'll join Traci in that bubble....

Yep. All my instructors have just said that the WSJ is no longer a reliable source of information and should not be used in reports unless it is an older issue before they were bought.

Interesting. So all of your professors think there is no bias in any other media??

Oh no way..most media we're not allowed to use, but we were allowed to use the WSJ until it was bought :) Most professors require unbiased media, especially for political topics..which is hard to find nowadays :unsure:

You have to know that The Wall Street Journal was just bought by the same people that own Fox News which is the biggest republican propaganda machine in the country :)

Just for the record, there's quite a few democratic propaganda machines out there too.....the huge majority of the media. I don't think any of the major news outlets are unbiased. Not a single one. I'm seriously disgusted by it all and I'll be glad when Nov 4th has come and gone.
 
So did it bug anybody in the VP debate when Biden said that having the rich pay more taxes was PATRIOTIC? I'm so glad that he decides in what manner people are to show their patriotism.

And here's my other issue...these are just the tax plans that are currently on the table. The ones that look good for the election. We all know that these change the moment they get into office. So I don't think that stressing over these graphs is going to help anything. I think the important thing is to look at voting histories on tax issues...I think that will give a better indication of where we are headed than their beautiful plans that are pretty much guaranteed not to come to fruition.
