What If President Bush?

"Nearly half of all American households participate in the stock market."

true, but they probably own so little it doesn't even matter. The top 5-10% own probably more than half the wealth in terms of stock.

I would not vote for him, even if I could. He should have been voted out of office in 04.

Things could get worse under the policies of Obama and I believe they will. 50% of Americans own stock, Obama wants to double the capital dividends tax. Taking MORE money out of the pockets of 152,000,000 Americans doesn't sounds very economically sensible to me. Also all of his big spending during an incoming recession doesn't sound too great either. I also am not a fan of his decision to cut funding to our Missile Shield.

Same goes for McCain. I have plenty of problems with him especially when it comes to immigration as well as his decision to stay in Iraq. I could care less who wins this election. I am looking forward to '12 hoping someone else emerges as a better candidate.

But as I said I would vote for Bush over these two clowns, but not for him if there was a candidate I really liked.

Ending the Iraq war would surely put a huge number back into the budget, and lets not forget, like all left wingers, he's only taking money from the rich, those that got a stupid tax cut from Bush, forcing the middle class to pay more than they can. But of course, IOKIYAR.

both the left and the right have a pretty even track record when it comes to taxes. The middle class pay for everyone.

Because the middle class pays shit in taxes compared to the rich and upper class.

And they will pay even more under Obama to support the middle class.

I agree with the redneck.

considering the poor wording and incorrectness of his statement, this surprises me.

1st: the combined middle class contribute far more than the upper class

2nd: middle class pay far more of a percentage of income in taxes than the upper class.

now if he meant that an individual upperclass pays more dollar-for-dollar, then that would be correct....but what a stupid point to make.

So overall which class is paying more money to the US government..the middle class or the rich?

I am not talking about the individual..I mean as a whole.

No I wouldn't, and I voted for him 2x grr, all those promises he made in 2000 about bringing RESPECT BACK to the White House and this is his legacy? Lying 10x worst then Clinton, knowing about 9/11 and not doing anything about it, didn't even want the government to investigate 9/11, when in front of a judge and asked questions about it he was NOT on camera and didn't allow it to be written down what was asked and said. Oh I don't know anything about $4 gas when it's just right around the corner... Pshh yeah what a joke!!! I think a poll should be taken of "Would you still vote for GWB in 2000 if you knew the outcome?'' Shoulda voted for Gore..

Anyways, inimalist said " The middle class pay for everyone." and that is obviously incorrect as the rich pay very well for themselves and then some (much) more.

As for your other statements, got some stats on that? I'd be delighted to read.

I did a Google search, some stories/sources state that the top earners pay most of the taxes, while other stories/sources state that the middle class is the one that takes it in the ass tax-wise.
