Bushs tax cuts did benefit me, but only a little bit. The fact of the matter is that the richest people in the country will have had a total tax break of about 5-6% of their income by the time the tax breaks expire in 2010. The upper middle class (where I am) on down to the poorest will have received a 1-2% cut. I understand that my cut will not be the same dollar figure as Warren Buffet because he makes more. His dollar level should be significantly higher, but why is his percentage also higher?

A lot of you guys are complaining about 'redistribution of wealth'. It is a poor choice of words because Obamas plan re-allocates the tax burden. I will not be getting any of your wealth, I will just be keeping more of mine.

Lets talk about redistribution of wealth that really does fit the definition. My state (MA) only gets back about $.82 of every Federal tax dollar paid. My money gets redistrubuted to those poor states like GA ($1.01), AZ ($1.19), MO ($1.32), and LA ($1.78). I'm tired of paying for states that can't seem to educate their kids as well as those in my state, even though I am helping them to do so. CdC, I'm counting you as AZ because I've heard that you used to live there, and because I don't like you. Maybe you guys who live in those states and always whine about taxes should think about getting your states able to stand on their own instead of taking welfare from me. Maybe then your tax rate can be reduced.

And many of you who are whining about Obamas tax plan were also in favour of going into Iraq. Time for you to start putting up the cash for it, cause I do not want to be responsible for your support of ignorance and bad planning.
