Predictions? Post who you're voting for and why. I figured I would make this a tad early for all the predictions.

The election is decided (by projections). No need to show your support for a candidate and try to convince people they are wrong. If he is bummed about his dad paying alot of taxes that is something thats reasonable to be bummed about.

Umm theres a lot more black people than Mormons in the US.... And if you look, Utah is like 65% R to 35% O and the population of Utah is over 85% Mormon...

The Mormon church also takes no political stance (not saying that the black race does but it clearly shows that they favor Obama over Romney)

You guys don't get that taxes go to great things like social programs and stimulus, things that actually help the economy in the long run. Look at every other country! Canada had crazy high tax rates and we are pretty well off these days.

except in america most of the taxes go to the military, whereas in canada and other countries our taxes go back to us. so i can understand not wanting to fund the military, and therefore, pay half as much in taxes, but it's not like they are paying very much in taxes anyways so i don't know why they complain about it.

I'm fairly certain Bush isn't Romney, but I can tell logic isn't your strong point. As well, the world being for Obama is a far cry from reality. Continue bantering.

BTW, only ~3% of US households make more than $250k a year. So before you start your bitching, count your blessings.

97% of us have it harder than you.

exactly. welcome to the rest of the world. i'll go out and buy a round of coffees for all my co-workers as well. that shit comes around. it's like all these GOD FORSAKEN social programs. people pay into them, maybe you use them, maybe you don't, but just feel good in knowing that you and your family have things a) available to use should you need it and b) are providing a little of what you make to help someone else out. isn't that how the world should work? sure there are going to be a few lazy assholes exploit the system, but most people don't.

any way, bla blaa, good for obama. he inherited the shithole of a economy the republicans created prior to his first term and i hope he can help dig you guys out of the hole, even if it costs your precious, oh so hardworking parents a fancy car or caribbean vacation.

You're on to something. I'll toss up my $150,000 as long as you do the same along with your mom, dad and your siblings. You might as well start paying as well.

Try telling that to small business owners who incorporate and are taxed twice on their profits. They're lucky to take home half of what they EARN.

so making over 250k a year is easy? i make shit for money and i wouldnt call my situation "harder" than most the rich. i know all rich people were born that way and they just sit in hot tubs and sip champagne all day. but really they dont, its fucking hard ass work, not just to get to that point but to maintain it. having money doesnt mean life is easy.

If they don't like paying corporate taxes they shouldn't incorporate, they should form a partnership. The corporate tax isn't actually a tax, it's a fee you pay for the benefits of incorporation. If you think it's too expensive, don't pay it.
