Good point.

I didn't mean to imply that Palin was altogether dishonest - just retarded.

I wish to point out that Obama's flowchart is the same. Our choices for president are roughly the same person. Entrenched rich guys with no interest in the common man because we live in an Oligarchy. I am glad I have music, computers, and bicycles. Those I can trust in.

Obama's tax plan reduces taxes on the bottom 95%, and raises them on the top 5%.. especially the top 2%. McCain's is almost the exact inverse. Hardly the same.

Surely you're old enough to know that those tax plans never work out as claimed.

Re: A Better Chart

Apparently not. See, I have a great deal of confidence in an Obama administration's ability to deliver.

Now, one caveat - rolling out the tax increases on the top 2% as well as on the capital gains may be done more slowly than his proposed tax decreases.

Hmm. In my opinion, govt is largely incompetent so everything they do is wrong. Thus a govt with the ability to get things done is a govt that hurts the people.

I prefer a govt unable to do anything, completely stymied by contention. Thus if we get a Democratic president, we should have a Republican congress. Or vice versa. The danger of them agreeing... well, that gave us Iraq, didn't it? And the housing bubble. And the Dot.com crash. And the Vietnam war. And a whole litany of errors. The govt that serves the people is one that's so conflicted it can't untie its shoelaces. That's what I think.
