Sarah Palin

[retroaction man]

fishing forums are not really a good place for politics to be discussed. Some of you folks need to put down the fox news

[retroaction man]

also im not going to read this whole thread but has palins knocked up, unmarried, 17 year old daughter been brought up ?

[Trav]

I almost forgot, You get taxed again when you die!

Have any of you seen that AARP commercial where they morph an elephant and a donkey?

That might be a good way to settle all this bickering among us. We can start our own party. We can call it The Republicrats. We can call our mascot an Elephonkey!

We just argee on the good stuff from each party, trash out the bad stuff and stencil an agenda for the country using thier ideas!

[Chief Grey Bear]

This is not contributing to the discussion.

Thats funny coming from you.

Now, does anyone here even read the links have been posted from us radical, left wing, leftist, liberals? I would say by the questions and comments that are still coming from the almighty, righteous party, that the answer is no.

[Guest kevinkirk]

Is taney and stone counties repub or democrat? Just curious where the votes go there.?

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN

0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA

28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN

15% (no change)

OBAMA

39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN

(no changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500

Single making 50K - tax $12,500

Single making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 60K- tax $9,000

Married making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)

Single making 30K - tax $8,400

Single making 50K - tax $14,000

Single making 75K - tax $23,250

Married making 60K - tax $16,800

Married making 75K - tax $21,000

Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN

- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA

Restore the inheritance tax

Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

The Elephonkey! Mascot to the Republicrats!

[techo]

I have tried to stay out of this one. I moved here from Alaska. I will say that this election has created a great deal more interest than any other I can remember. Either way we make history!

[Andy & JoAnne]

I'm voting, like most of the country, on my wallet. If you have a couple of minutes, take a look....

Yes and nobody seems to care except liberals. The nation gave up on politician's character in the 90's. We are more interested in how much post tax money we will have for filling up our boats and buying fishing gear.
