FLU, you know it’s all just fun and game. This $250k issue actually affects me in a good way, since I make much less than $250k. Even if I make $250k+, I rather have some financial sacrifice than social sacrifice. There’s always a great option of going back to single income household if I do get near this cap. Too bad the Republican can’t come up with someone that’s a little left of center (or at least center) on social issues. Also, we all know it doesn’t matter how I vote, since Democrats have such a strong hold of CA. Now, if I was in those swing states…

June 9, 2008 at 9:07 PM #220635larrylujackParticipantQuite frankly, I don’t mind paying taxes per se, as long as it is for something worthwhile, i.e, infrastructure, education, alternative energy. The Iraq war and the billions spent are not worthwhile by any stretch of the imagination, and that is when I have a problem paying taxes, especially when we are peddling America’s future by the sale of bonds to a dwindling number of buyers to finance the Iraq fiasco, and in turn weaken the dollar further, produce hyperinflation all resulting in the inevitable decline in the standard of living for the vast majority of Americans; or cut our losses from the Bush Iraq mess and instead invest tax dollars into something far more likely to produce a meaningful return on investment. The choice to me is obvious and I would hope that these are values Americans believe are worth paying for, such as the education of future generations and development of alternative energy sources, far more important than a low cap gains tax rate for the wealthy. I for one, am willing to take the hit.
