CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000

Married making 60K - tax $16,800

Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

lol What kind of question is this?
Will appoint judges who interpret the law not make it
Yes
No
That is a opinion not a question.. work harder on your hate..
also just about all of your answers are BS..
Obama supports gun owner ship just not for criminals.. Obama isn't going to pull troops out of Iraq immediately he is for setting a strict time time to get them out so we can wage a "real" war on terror.

Its not an opinion, it is a fact. Obama is absolutely opposed to Constitutional constructionist judges. He thinks he has more Constitutional law experience than Clarence Thomas! :rolleyes: :rofl
Obama has never voted FOR gun ownership by law abiding citizens.
Obama has a timetable for troop withdrawal, it's called immediate. And it doesn't come from being advised by the military in command that is responsible for the progress made since the surge that Obama opposed began, either. Sarah Palin said it best last night. The only time Obama mentions victory when referring to the military is when he's talking about victory for his own political campaign.

Is this directed at me??

Obamessiah supports gun ownership but he couldn't be assed to sign the Amicus Brief for Heller v DC that 55 Senators and 250 House members signed.
He's as anti-gun as they come. Anyone who thinks he isn't has either not studied his record or is lying to themselves.

what happened to "end the war and bring the troops home"?

BS. You know nothing about the candidate you spend so much time fighting for. Just the talking points. Look at his history and his record. Both are limited but both are abundantly clear -- if you bother to look or care.

Restore the inheritance tax
You must file Form 706 to report estate and/or generation-skipping transfer tax within 9 months after the date of the decedent's death unless you receive an extension of time to file. Use Form 4768, Application for Extension of Time To File a Return and/or Pay U.S. Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Taxes, to apply for an automatic 6-month extension of time to file
