		<description>Im really tired of the implication that small business owners are the only ones working hard. Youve run this the wrong way, we are have value, the &quot;you all need me, Im so important attitude&quot; has pushed many middle of the roads left - and you have only yourselves to blame. I have worked hard all my life and put myself thru college. In my job I hold people lives literally in my hands - if I make a mistake - you die . . .  simple as that. My reward after 25 years and six years of college - barely 52000 a year, less insurance benefits then my patients, a 401 that has been that has been made practically worthless under the republican watch. My retirement bleak,with no healthcare insurance after years of saving so many lives. But somehow this is my fault because the only ones of value are business people. Well what do you think will happen when all the business people need the all of us poor smucks you say arent working hard enough. I think that day we should refuse that 16 hour shift and let you all get you own safe blood, correct prescription dose, or heart caths. Some how our democracy has turned into a monarchy - with the crown on the heads of the business elite. Well average Joe is tired of it.  Im tired of my money trickling up - its time for a change. And the greatest thing is this is a democracy and we get a our turn at the poll. At the poll my vote counts as much as yours does, even if you think yours is worth more. See you tuesday.</description>

		<description>We had a national debt of around $5.7 trillion when Bush took office.  We now have a national debt in excess of $10 trillion.  

Want to see exactly how much each president has added to the national debt during each year of his administration?  Here&#039;s a chart that clearly lays it all out:  

http://www.lafn.org/gvdc/Natl_Debt_Chart.html

&lt;strong&gt;Those are the figures.  The difference between republicans and democrats is &lt;em&gt;obvious&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;shocking&lt;/em&gt;.  &lt;/strong&gt;

So, how have the republicans managed to convince so many voters that they&#039;re fiscally responsible, while the democrats are those &quot;tax and spend&quot; people out to wreck the economy?  

It&#039;s simple:  &lt;strong&gt;They lie about it.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, “Each republican administration from Reagan on...&quot; little history lesson George HW Bush &lt;strong&gt;raised&lt;/strong&gt; taxes on the rich... you remember, right? In the three years following that tax increase fed receipts only went up 10%.

You party operatives sure know how to sell the lies.</description>

		<description>Also:

&quot;Each republican administration from Reagan on has borrowed trillions in all of our names to fund huge tax cuts for the wealthy. &quot;

Interesting how you did not acknowledge the lie this is considering the &quot;huge&quot; Bush tax cut (again 39 to 35%) &quot;cost&quot; us (again if you ignore the fact receipts went up after the cuts), at worst, about 66 billion a year for 5 years, 330 billion, not trillions. This is another party talking point with no basis in reality. Silly party shills...</description>

		<description>US News and World Report tax plan analysis:

&quot;If you are Mike and Beth the Doctors, blessed, smart, and gifted enough to bring home $500,000 a year, McCain will leave your taxes as they are...&quot;

USA Today:
&quot;Republican McCain wants to &lt;strong&gt;extend&lt;/strong&gt; the Bush administration&#039;s 2001 tax cuts, double the personal exemption taxpayers can claim and lower corporate tax rates, a USA Today analysis says.&quot;

http://www.allbusiness.com/government/elections-politics-campaigns-elections/11480352-1.html

&lt;strong&gt;No New Tax Cuts For Upper Bracket Just Keeping the Current Tax Rate.&lt;/strong&gt;

Seriously, Party talking points dont count as independent analysis.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In addition to that McCain has not proposed any additional tax cuts for the wealthy. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Pardon me?  John McCain&#039;s tax proposals  include tax cuts averaging $269,364 per year for persons having annual income exceeding $2.87 million.  Around 147,000 American families fall into that category.  

He would give cuts averaging $45,361 per year to families having annual income between $603,403 and $2.87 million.  

Those cuts have to do with personal income tax rates, not corporate or business taxes.  

Joe the Plumber really ought to study a tax proposal comparison chart before he casts his vote next week.  Most of us &quot;mindless party lackeys&quot; have actually looked at an independent analysis of the two plans.

		<description>With-in the past couple of months one of the Fox news programs had Austin Goolsby, obama&#039;s econ advisor or a short interview and, guess what, HE SAID $150,000. DURING A DISCUSSION ON THIS TAX QUESTION.  So this has been in the works for a while.</description>

		<description>LD, this piece is fabulous.  I was looking to mention Biden&#039;s latest &quot;rhetorical flourish&quot; myself but with your economic expertise, you have stated this far better than anyone else could have.

I&#039;ll forward this one far and wide.

I really hope the American people are getting this and that the irresponsible no-conscience media doesn&#039;t try to bury it as well.

I mean does this qualify as a smear too, or do you think us regular folk deserve to know this information?

Never mind.  Don&#039;t answer that.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Dem, too.  I voted McCain, so the breakdowns don&#039;t mean much because the Dems are suffering defections from their traditional loyalists.  We just don&#039;t know how much.</description>

		<description>And in my state, on the final page [we&#039;re using these electronic ballots where you flip from page to page using a dial] John McCain&#039;s name came up:

 X  Joh

The rest had run clean off the screen [no  Sarah Palin in sight], yet Barack Obama and Bidens&#039; names were fine.  You&#039;re able to back track before hitting the &quot;Vote&quot; key, so I flipped back to the first page, just to make sure, my ballot was marked correctly.

Nothing like being paranoid!</description>
