Found this today in an editorial, can't find the original source as you have to pay for Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal's Steve Moore has done the math on Obama's tax plan. He says it will add up to a 39.6 percent personal income tax, a 52.2 percent combined income and payroll tax, a 28 percent capital-gains tax, a 39.6 percent dividends tax and a 55 percent estate tax.

Great.... For who? That information is useless without information about tax brackets etc. as well as the assumptions he makes coming to that conclusion. Please come back with some real information.

One who ask questions is not ignorant, but very wise.

I'll get back to you on that, I don't have time at the moment.

For starters, Kucinich wants to withdraw from NAFTA and WTO, wants to repeal the Patriot Act, and wants a balance between workers and corporations.  And he prominently displays these on his homepage along with other issues.  I notice the Obama page you have to click a couple times before you actually find the issues and even then it is more vague.  He does say he wants to amend NAFTA and WTO but he makes no mention of the Patriot Act or corporate responsibility.

Nader was on the Daily Show the other day and gave a big "fuck you" to the two party system.
