The Top 4 Candidates vs. Your Paycheck, Who Wins ?

The IRS.

[JoJo Gunn]

What a stupid headline. Who wins? Who has always won, the Gestapo known as the IRS.

[11th_VA]

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain and Mitt Romney Huckabee

hold your wallets no matter who wins

when they scream fairness we should run

But no one has an appealing way to pay for fixing [the AMT].

Appealing to whom? I have an appealing way to fix it, abolish it.

Hey, for the smart investor administrations like Carters are buying opportunities in the making. Real estate values plummet and cash is king.

Look for lower and middle income houses with Huckabee, McCain or Romney signs or stickers on the cars, just to drive home the lesson.

Of course we know who wins. It’s the one they don’t talk about. The most Un American agency in the US known as the IRS

The most ironic thing is that if one of the ‘candidates’ ensures my healthcare availability via universal healthcare, this ‘top 1%’ wage earner will have absolutely no reason to keep working and paying taxes so that other’s don’t have too.

Concerns about who is the least evil spender of the main presidential candidates would probably be greatly alleviated if the people pressed the following issue with each of them.

Regardless of their plans to change federal spending in some way, most of the candidates are unthinkingly carrying on the unconstitutional federal spending practices started by FDR. This post (<-click), in another tax related thread, attempts to explain how FDR's disdain for 10th A. protected state powers created an environment where most presidential candidates have irresponsibly ignored their oaths to defend the Constitution by proposing federal spending programs based on non-existent federal government powers.

In fact, Obama, followed by Clinton, have actually been ranked by some observers as the first and second of the big-time spenders respectively for '08 spending proposals.

Big-shot federal spenders

Regardless that the above referenced page shows John McCain is a "small potatoes" spender when compared with Obama and Clinton, he is undoubtedly disregarding constitutional spending restraints like the others are.

Again, people need to wise up to the very serious problem of a federal government that is not operating within the restraints of the Constitution, particularly where high taxation as a consequence of unauthorized spending is concerned. The people need to get in the faces of spending-happy presidential candidates and make them commit to making the federal government once again operate within constitutional spending restraints. (The Democrats might as well go home.)

[TheBattman]

McCain as president= smaller paycheck
Hillary as president = smaller paycheck
Obama as president = smaller paycheck
Huckabee as presidnet = smaller paycheck

So what is to be a surprise? Each will use a slightly different method to extract more taxes, but I guarantee they would all result in higher taxes (Huckabee would call it “fees”).

Nobody will do shit in the final analysis—just talk.
