So now I will be paying -892 instead of -113? With 2 kids that should equal quite a bit of tax breaks :)
Edit: I don't really understand how that graph works, because if everything on the left side is "negative money", that means no one at all is paying any taxes right now? Which doesn't make sense ...

Your taxes are $X less
-100 would mean you save 100 on your next tax bill

I can't tell you how painful it is to see how happy all these people from other countries are about our election.
I can't tell you how painful it was for a so-called superpower to have elected not once, but twice (and GWB was right, can't fool me again!), the most bumbling incompetent warmongering idiot in recent history whose actions impacted the entire world.
It makes me happy not to see that America anymore.

Does anyone think this will make any difference at all? Really?
A large part of why this has happened is a combination of the new Vietnam(s) of Afghanistan and Iraq and the global financial crisis.
He is perfectly placed with his promise of "change" and although I'm happy about the result and hope that this will signal a new direction for the US I'll believe it when I see it.
Remember when Blair got in and we all thought that Labour would save us from a the Thatcherite-Major ear of utter dullness? Labour have only proceeded to be too socially minded, so much so that it's to the detriment of common sense and any sort of meritocracy the type of which is sorely lacking in this country.
Obama the idea is great. The reality might be something very different. And the fawning that many will supply, let's face it just because he is black (and is he? I thought he was half white. What is up with that?), will be really irritating. Lets see if Mandela gets an audience, one he would never have requested or wanted from McCain. And not just because the food at Obama's house will undoubtably be better.

Now's an appropriate time to inform you that I and several others pronounce your name "cock-eeh" and not like "great kid, don't get cocky".
I always thought it was like "co-kee" :confused:
Just call me T-Bone ;)

Sorry man, but that tax chart is bullshit.
Actually, no it's not, it's based on (

In any case all those crusty rich white folks you hate so much, when they lose money due to taxes, will compensate by handing YOU guys the pink slip. Bring a book with you to the unemployment lines.

Meanwhile, after the United States defaults under its massive accumulating debt, those same employers will be handing out flowers and puppy dogs?

What blows my mind is this:
So the current system is broken. I understand that, and I think we should try something else.
So why are we going to try a system that we already know is broken?
Socialism just doesn't work, folks. As long as humans are human, it'll never work.
We haven't tried capitalism yet. We should give it a shot.
