I can't you wait till the government takes 1/2 of my nest egg ?

Question

that I've worked all my life to save, because social security won't be there when I need it. Will I have to eat dog food and live in a cardboard box while Mr.Obama makes 4-5 mil a year in guest appearances?

Answer 1

We'll all be jingling "change"......

Answer 2

hay fool Obama is not in charge yet so he has not raised taxes or approved any law changes.

You are chanting the right wing agenda but your arguments carry no weight.

Answer 3

Lovin' the avatar and the user name! And they say we're supposed to be uneducated!  

Answer 4

I know how you feel.  But listen to the Marxist, he says you have no need of a nest egg, you should share what you've worked so hard to earn with people who sat on the porch waiting on a government check.

Don't be so selfish, it will make the liberal socialists dislike you.

Answer 5

Obama wants to keep Social Secrutiy.  McCain wants to eventually dissolve it.

Propaganda!!  

Answer 6

What else would you expect from a socialist?

Answer 7

Great, good for you, and yes, you can eat dog food if you choose.

"These ads continue what's become a pattern of misrepresentation by the McCain campaign about his opponent's tax proposals."

"The TV ad claims in a graphic that Obama would "raise taxes on middle class." In fact, Obama's plan promises cuts for middle-income taxpayers and would increase rates only for persons with family incomes above $250,000 or with individual incomes above $200,000."

"The radio ad claims Obama would increase taxes "on the sale of your home." In fact, home-sale profits of up to $500,000 per couple would continue to be exempt from capital gains taxes. Very few sales would see an increase under Obama's proposal to raise the capital gains rate. "

"A second radio ad, in English, says, "Obama has a history of raising taxes" on middle-class Americans. But that's false. It refers to a vote that did not actually result in a tax increase and could not have done so."

Answer 8

Either Republicans just choose to be ignorant on Obama's tax proposals, or they are just lying about it.  Either way, get a clue.

If Obama is raising your capital gains taxes, you must be making over $250,000 a year.  So save a buck or two and quit whining.  And if your retirement nest egg is in a 401k or an IRA, you won't pay cap gains taxes on that anyway.  That money is taxed as ordinary income when you withdraw it in retirement.  So better vote for the candidate who will cut taxes on ordinary income: Obama.

Answer 9

Hmm, unless you make over $250,000 a year, your taxes will be LOWERED by Obama.

McCain will not protect you.

The tax increases apply to only about 5% of the wealthiest population. I doubt many people on YA qualify.
