    Its politics. They all lie.

    Including Obama, McCain, Palin, Hilary and -- egads -- Oprah.

    Surely you knew that.

    Obama does want to raise every single taxes that Palin outlined in her speech. So please be more specific about the lie you are accusing her of.

    SOURCE: Obama's plan in his own words. http://www.barackobama.com/issues

    Cutting taxes for the wealthiest 2% is a bad thing huh?

    Have you ever been employed by a poor person?

    If the wealthiest 2% of the population pays almost 60% of the federal taxes. And the bottom 50% of the nation pays little to no federal taxes at all, who should he cut taxes for?

    You can't cut taxes for those who don't pay taxes in the first place.

    Please do not vote for someone (Obama) who wants to raise taxes on my employer, It will end up hurting me.

    if you get a refund as it is, how is Obama going to cut your taxes? Give you a bigger "refund?" I put that in quotes because it's not a refund if you didn't pay it out in the first place, it's a welfare check. The top 5% of income earners pay 50% of the income taxes. The bottom 50% pay next to nothing.

    Really?

    You nuts or something?

    How are you going to get Universal Health care, raise taxes on companies so they move overseas.

    And not think taxes will have to be raised significantly?

    The more companies that move, the more money they will need for the ever increasing health care needs.

    She didn't lie. She gave you an outline of all the taxes she was talking about. You had to actually listen to her.
