JOE BIDEN - PAYING MORE TAXES IS THE PATROTIC THING TO DO

I found this today on Yahoo News:

Biden: Paying higher taxes patriotic for wealthy
By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In a new TV ad that repeats widely debunked claims about the Democratic tax plan, the Republican campaign calls Obama's tax increases "painful."

Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.

Although Republican John McCain claims that Obama would raise taxes, the independent Tax Policy Center and other groups conclude that four out of five U.S. households would receive tax cuts under Obama's proposals.

"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

McCain released a television ad Thursday charging that Obama would increase the size of the federal government amid an economic crisis. Contending that "a big government casts a big shadow on us all," the ad features the image of a shadow slowly covering a sleeping baby as a narrator misstates the reach of the Obama tax proposal.

"Obama and his liberal congressional allies want a massive government, billions in spending increases, wasteful pork," the ad says. "And we would pay — painful income taxes, skyrocketing taxes on life savings, electricity and home heating oil. Can your family afford that?"

The McCain campaign said the ad is set to run nationally.

If you would like a patriotic thing to do how about a donation of every person in every house hold donating a dollar or ten for each person in the family. Set up a tithe have fund raisers or something to that effect. That would be patriotic. This is a disciplinary action for those with drive and motivation.

If you really want to do something for this country support and vote in the Fair Tax. If you have not read it – pick up a copy and do so. Just think that not only would you get your entire paycheck each week, 2 weeks or monthly, each home would get a prebate check to average $480 a month to cover basic necessities. It would eliminate the tax loop holes for everyone and put a wealth of cash back into the failing economy.

Just think it would also be the first time in our history where tourist from all over the world would pay into and support our Social Security. Now that would make an impact.

Neither candidate is in the position to support what would benefit this country. Regardless who wins it will be more of the same because of their own agenda or a congress who benefits from lobbyist to continue the same.

I see tv commercials that have people yelling “it’s my money and I want it now.”
Wrong it’s our money and 70% of us pay nothing at the end of the year. Want to do something patriotic – get a job, fend for yourself, stop waiting for everyone else to save you, give back there are countless places you can make a difference but it is up to you.
