Barack Obama's Tax Calculator
Posted by: Holly Robichaud | 10/30/2008 8:23 AM
We here at Red County have fixed the ubiquitous Obama Tax Refund Calculator to reflect the Democrats' spread-the-wealth convictions:
Every taxpayer will experience change if he is elected President. Change is what will be left over in people's wallets after Obama enacts his tax policy.
Two years ago in Massachusetts we elected Deval Patrick Governor. He was swept into office on the same message that Barack is now selling nationwide. Deval promised to cut everyone's property taxes. It was a pledge he never intended to keep. Now we are witnessing this same type of deception campaigning by a national candidate. Once Obama is in office, he will say that things are far worse than he expected and that he will have to increase taxes on everyone.
You don't have to believe me. All you need to do is look at his record.
Voters have absolutely no reason to trust Obama when he claims that 95% of Americans are going to get tax relief. It is nothing more than rhetoric.
As a United States Senator, Obama has voted 94 times to against tax cuts. According to Americans for Tax Reform he has a rating of 5%. That means he has voted against the American taxpayer 95% of the time. The National Taxpayer Union says he earns a grade of F. These are not the ratings of a tax cutting crusader.
As a candidate for President, Barack selected the third most liberal Senator as his running mate--Joe Biden. He is not exactly a conservative, but rather the typical tax and spend Democrat.
On the campaign trail Barack promised that people making $250,000 or more would be the only ones paying higher taxes. However, tonight on his infomercial that number has dropped to $200,000. Biden has stated that the threshold is $150,000. By mid next week it will be $100,000 and by January the figure will probably drop to $50,000.

I love the calculator!
hmm - I can't seem to get the calculator to work. is there something wrong with the web site?
Depressingly accurate...
Great points. Now, can we get any liberal media outlets to illuminate them?
150000
This is hysterical.....and true.
Hide your wallets!!
Why don't more people get this? We are about to vote in socialist. EVERYONE READING THIS>>>PLEASE VOTE MCCAIN!!! We need everyone to cast their ballot. Way too much at stake this time. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like Barry Goldwater.
I think this is alot more accurate than the one he has on his site.
I am single, have no kids and pay a lot of tax due to my above average income bracket. I get back $0 dollars of my hard earned money right now. Under Obama's plan I will actually get back money that I haven't seen from IRS for the past years. Under McCain's plan, I will end up paying little more tax than I pay now. I don't give a crap about abortion, gun control, gay rights and religion. I vote based on the packet book issues. As I see it, I am not going to be making one million dollars in the next four years, although I wish. So my vote is for Obama and I live in one of the battle ground states. You can claim all you want about redistribution of wealth. Since I am not in the income bracket where my tax will be used to give tax break to others, you argument falls flat.
Does any have any idea why Palin is still refusing to release her medical records? She promised them to Brian Williams on NBC over a week ago, but so far nothing. The rumors are everywhere as to why she is not releasing them. I keep getting asked if the Nation Enquirer is right that she got an STD from Todd's business partner when she was having her affair (they were right about John Edwards), or that she is hiding something like an abortion, or that the baby is indeed not hers which would subject her to insurance fraud charges (the daughter is due to deliver next month but does not look like it.) The rumors seem to be hurting her image much more than anything that could possibly be in her records. Does anyone think she is purposefully trying to hurt McCain because of something in her own agenda? What's going on?
