I don't get it. I understand the significance of having the first black president, and the advancement of colored people, and how the race barrier is now officially broken, but, by no means, do I believe that Obama is the man that should have been president. His taxing policy is piss poor because 1) Is it $250K, $200K, $150K, or $100K that he's taxing? Sounds like an auction to me. 2)VERY dishonest campaign. Any media group that questioned him hard, the Obama campaign avoided. Also, he went against his word with using JUST public money. 3)Media died in 08. Enough said. 4)We'll leave Iraq, to find out we need to go right back in. Doesn't make sense to me. Even bin Laden admitted Iraq is the center of the terrorist movement. 5)I'm in PA, and when the president says that the coal industry will go bankrupt, that scares the hell outta me. 6)EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE! The man doesn't know the first thing about foreign policy. 7)I was hopeful that he would surround himself with intelligent people. GREAT start by picking an EXTREMELY leftist chief of staff in Rahm Emanuel. Would write more, but have to go back to class. PEACE! Good luck to Obama, though.
^^ To answer #1, it's net earnings of $250K+ who would have an increase in tax. Apparently that's 5% of the working population.
