    Exclamation Obama Tax plan explained in detail (VIDEO)

    For all of you debating many of the tax plans between the candidates. I found a somewhat objective (Libertarian) video which explains it in detail. This is not partisan nonsense, it is objective fact.

    Me? You always knew I wasn't too far off I'm sure. I'm not a pure libertarian, but I'm sure not mainstream rep/dem.

    Its funny how so many anti-Obama groups mention the tax hikes for upper income people failing to mention most are so tax sheltered that an increase in their taxes doesn't mean the same thing as it does to a working persons taxes.

    Give it up. The conservatives and Bush have crushed our economy the last 8 years. How someone can remain in their corner is amazing but then again David Blane levitates so anythings possible I guess.

    WRONG... Conservatives have done nothing to crush our economy. NEO-CONSERVATIVES are the culprits. They are not true conservatives in any sense of the word. Do not even put us into the same category as neo-conservatives, thank you. Fiscal conservatism and free market economics WORK, its proven, but fiscal conservatism and free markets is NOT what we have had for the last 8 years by any means. We haven't had a true free market economy in this country in 90-100 years. Yet the neo-conservatives like to masquerade their big government, defecit spending, and sheltering of certain industries through legislation as a "free market." Whats worse, is that the liberals and Dems on the left try to pass this BS off as being a "failure" of free market and limited government, which it most certainly is not.

    Liberals have made the biggest strides for free market. Look at all that Clinton did during his administration for free markets with NAFTA and the China Free Trade Agreement.

    Why would you bring up those horrible agreements? No it isn't strides in the free market because the same rules don't apply depending on the industry.

    If you want to eliminate subsidized farming and minimum wages and a whole bunch of other stuff, then it would be a step towards free market. What it created is subsidized illigal immigration. You need equal lack of govt intervention for trade to be free and equal.

    Some great choices you got there, haha. We had the whole gamut of choices here in NY. And yeah, I knew you leaned towards libertarianism you're just not fully there...yet.

    Um...if look back over the past 100 years you'll see just how wrong you are about that statement. I won't even bring up the complete contradiction of the latter part of your post.

    To hell with Democrats/Liberals/Obama and their tax plans (if you can even call them plans.)

    In the words of one great philosopher...I'm going 'STRAIGHT CASH HOMEY!'
