The slander flying around this political season is a foot high and rising … from an almost insane battle with the democrats to the McCain and Obama fight to the finish in November and the political ads on TV( don’t you just hate that crap) You get so sick of seeing it you just want it all to go away. I would like to abolish parties and just have people run. We all know someone is going to be putting it the fix on all this on one side or the other in the voting stations or something.
The last two Presidential Elections were jokes and the boobie prize we all got was saddle with a dimwit in charge that is not even entertaining. So what do I have to say about the Tax plans. I believe that Obama has a better plan to help the poor individuals that are struggling out here like you and me. Sure the rich needs breaks but Bush just gave them one a while back and they can afford to pay when we can’t. But it is any ones guess which one we will get this time.
As it turns out, truly poor people don’t pay any taxes. In fact, they typically get a hand out from the government called the Earned Income Tax Credit. Obama simply wants to increase the size of this government hand out. What would be more fair is to not take the taxes out of these people’s paychecks in the first place. And no, I’m not talking about the incredibly stupid and short sighted Fair Tax proposal either. It’s just is common sense to not take the money out at all when the government isn’t going to keep it anyway.
The other tax reform that’s needed is with small business owners. They create a lot of jobs for these poor people but trying to deal with government regulations designed to keep big businesses in check can drive them into poverty as well. Getting some real tax and regulatory relief for the small business person would be a big help. However, neither McCain or Obama seem to be on board with that idea.
