Democrats and TAX'S

This is pretty straight forward and undisputable.....you read and you decide.Whether Democrat or Republican one might want to know just what the candidates have in mind for our personal money. That's what taxes are.....OUR $.
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:CAPITAL GAINS TAXMCCAIN 15% (no change)OBAMA 28% CLINTON 24% How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.DIVIDEND TAXMCCAIN 15% (no change)OBAMA 39.6% CLINTON 39.6% How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton become president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit."INCOME TAXMCCAIN (no changes)Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750CLINTON (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.INHERITANCE TAXMCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)OBAMA keep the inheritance taxCLINTON keep the inheritance taxHow does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)* New taxes on retirement accountsand last but not least....* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
