Here is an interesting table of historical progressive income tax rates.  Obama wants to restore top bracket income tax rate back to 39.6% as it was in 2000 when Bush took office.  In view of the history of this rate as shown in the table, is it justified to claim that the big bad Obama is a socialist bent on spearheading a Marxist or socialist overthrow of our government based on his tax plan?

we already have schools and programs to feed our hungry x Truly, I wouldn't bother.......you can spoon feed them nm You want 'em, you can have 'em, nm name 'em x Set 'em up, Joe.... ...and it's about time.  Joe the Plumber has filed a federal lawsuit against the (now former) head of OJFS (Ohio Job and Family Services) and two assistants.  They illegally investigated him after he offended dems and the liberal media by asking Obama a question, then *somehow* the information was leaked to the press.  Gonna love following this one.  Keep 'em coming. I’m going to take a page out of your book again and simply jump over this latest denial/dodge of yours...just like you did with the context post. Blame game bluster scores no points here. The ignorance seems to be unending, but at least you could try to know your own party platform. Think you can handle that? Bottom line. This is so simple, even you can get it. Dems would impose the R-words (regulatiions and restrictions) on the transnationals....back in the day, we called it monopoly busting. Pubs give them the keys to the candy store, the greed of the wealthy being what it is and all. Gotta keep those CEOs perks coming. We can all see how well that has worked for us. One does not have to look too far to see just how inept the party has been over the past 8 years in all things economic. Huge surplus transformed to deepest deficit of all times, virtually overnight, gas/food, bank foreclosures, housing crisis, rising unemployment, wage stagnation, inflation/recession. Bush’s latest brilliant explanation for all this is that “Wall Street got drunk. It has a hangover. Don’t know how long it will take them to sober up.” This would be the extent of his experience? Scarey. Maybe he has been reading McCain's joke book. The candidate tells us that the economy “is not his strong suit.” Disarmingly honest, but none to comforting. Speaks for itself. Touched on this in the economics paragraph in the context post, but you chose to ignore that...or, in your own words, maybe that was the one you were not paying attention to, I forget. In fact, no response from you, Sam, speaks volumes and sheds a whole lot more light on the subject than anything you might actually come out and try to say. Go figure. That's the problem with 'em all - they just CAN'T They're bullies. Both in and out of office. Ya calls 'em the same way I do. Most of 'em believe in heaven and he!!, too. n/msg McCain sure knows how to vet 'em. nm you tell 'em martha x Let 'em marry if they want to then they can have the same privilege straight couples have of paying thousands to divorce lawyers to get rid of what they were so sure was gonna last a lifetime.  Straight or gay, that marriage license changes people.  I seriously doubt that "gay" marriages are going to last any better than straight marriages.  Yeah and they want to adopt kids.  What are the 2 biggest problem areas in straight marriages?  You got it.  Money and kids.  So let 'em have at it.  Make the divorce lawyers richer.  As It happens I don't believe in marriage between 2 people of the same sex and I believe homosexuality is a choice but then I'll leave the sorting out to God.  Same as being an alcoholic is a choice.  One can choose to fight the temptation or they can embrace it.  JMO. New York is welcome to 'em!! n/m x Nothing racist about 'em - I do not find anything racist about your posts; but I do find the aspirin post racist. So where d'ya plan to put 'em all? 10%. No deductions. Wouldn't need 'em if . Tell 'em what they wanna hear. they are transporting children to vote.... not quite old enough to realize fairy tales are just that.... ride 'em cowboy! xx 'outlaw' something that so many of 'em got rich sheesh Yes, there WERE WMD. The intel was correct....SH got rid of 'em... . There are different flavors - Fox "news" is one of 'em. nm They're ALL innocent...ask 'em! x Looks more like Germany wouldn't give 'em up to the US. nm If it bothers you, don't read'em....I have a job AND a life... thank you very much. I also have things that are important to me, and the next President of the US and abortion are two of them. just plain rude - keep 'em coming xx Rush Limbaugh taught 'em how!   Desperate to say something bad, even if they have to fake the film to do it!  Because they know their loyal viewers are such sheep they'll believe anything they see on their show as gospel - even if it is debunked later! Unfortunately the good weather attracts 'em. I'm a pagan - I guess that'll really freak 'em out, huh? Talking with the people you describe is like going back to the Dark Ages. I would think if they bring them here, when they "let them loose", they would send 'em home x
