“The tax breaks for Obama are one time rebate checks for the low and middle class..” I may be mistaken but I believe you are refering to the $1,000 rebate to help people w/ energy costs (which have skyrocketed because of Bush/Cheney’s crooked energy policy). That’s separate from the tax cuts.
“Oh and we stuck it to the rich and powerful too to make you feel good! ” Obama’s plan simply rolls back the tax breaks Bush gave to the very rich.
“Second, While the people are getting a rebate, Obama is going to rape Investors, big business, small business, who pays for that?”
“98.1% percent of small-business filers have income too low to be subject to either of the top two tax rates. Since the floor of these is below $250,000, then 98.1% of small business filers will not see any increase with Obamas plan. ” (http://www.cbpp.org/8-29-08tax.htm)” Sorry you need to pay $3.50 for that 99 cent double cheeseburger, and had to pay $5.90 a gallon of gas to get there, your power bills doubled and your most likely to get laid off soon. ” Sounds exactly like how the economy is RIGHT NOW because of Bush’s failed economic policies.
“Oh, by the way we had to cancel your free health care because we just cant tax anymore people to pay for it for a few years… ” McCain’s health care “plan” would actually increase taxes. Also, as I understand it, he will also tax the $5,000 health credit for families.

Ever wonder why Democratic cities and states suffer so? Look at the biggest democratic state Califonia..m they do swell. Also look at the revenue during the Bush era to Clinton, Bush with lower taxes had a 19% increase in accepted revenue to the gov. Higher taxes dont work.. Im not going to defend the Bush era because I think it was crap to, but I sure dont need it to go completely to hell with Obama.. People that listen to the media, people that are poor and expect a handout, people that believe they shoudnt need to work, and the people who have no idea about things are the prey of the democratic party.
Clinton promised everything Obama promises in his new :change:, well I guess a second time around may work, other than were broke now.
