    see its easier to speak to an audience that doesn't understand the tax system if you (the candidate) don't understand it either. its the best way to connect with them.

    They still pay f.i.c.a. taxes...everyone pays taxes theres no getting around it. Here is a decent article on how obama can cut taxes on 95% of workers and their families...

    lol

    I like trying to start up arguments in OT.

    I just like how people who don't pay INCOME TAX are being offered a tax credit under Mr. Obama's plan. How nice of him, he's a swell guy.

    Obv you underestimate the messiah. If he can heal the world with his charm and charisma then cutting zero should be no problemo (boning up on my mexicanglish obv). Remember - a spending "freeze" would be using the hatchet, not the scalpel.

    Don't worry. After Obama is done walking on water, he'll magically cut taxes for those that don't even pay any. Afterall, America REALLY wants Socialism, right?
