do you own a business, do you care about the future for your children? Well I do. I don't care what color his skin is or where he was born. What I care about is the money that I have worked hard and long to make. If people like you want to let one man and his advisors fuck the world as we in America know it over, then so be it. But mark my words, you will regret the decision to make him president. Things are going to get tougher than what they were when gas and diesel skyrocketed. All your* whining then won't amount to much compared to the whining you will be doing in the next few years....

Very well said!! I too don't think people know what they're in for. Obama is a two face S.O.B. He says one thing and then turns around the next minute to contradict himself. It's proven time and time again. You can watch it on video. I feel sorry for my family(other peoples too), our military, and our country(the security of our nation)Pray that we make it through the next four long years with out a Jihad upon us.

Tax Base and Rates
Corporate "income" tax is not a tax on corporate income. It would be more accurate to call it a corporate "profit" tax. Corporate "taxable income" is that which remains after most business expenses have been deducted.
For regular income tax purposes, a system of graduated marginal tax rates is applied to "taxable income." For 2008, the marginal tax rates on a corporation's taxable income are as follows:
Taxable Income ($) Tax Rate[8]
0 to 50,000 15%
50,000 to 75,000 25%
75,000 to 100,000 34%
100,000 to 335,000 39%
335,000 to 10,000,000 34%
10,000,000 to 15,000,000 35%
15,000,000 to 18,333,333 38%
18,333,333 and up 35%

Fuck you.
I am not ashamed of my country. I love my country.
What I am ashamed of is the people who bought into our newly elected leaders blatantly obvious lies. I'm ashamed that celebrity status in this country means more to people than the country itself. There is no doubt about it (and I'll refer to this post, for anybody who has any questions as to what I meant by it http://www.dfwstangs.net/forums/showpost.php?p=5404666&postcount=12 ) that Barack Obama was a celebrity, endorsed by Hollywood (not you, Stephen), and the liberal media. It is a goddamned crying shame that people vote this way.
Is the American voting system fair? No.
My stance:
- Raise the minimum voting age to 21 or 25 since most people below those ages, and many above, have no idea why they are voting.
- Popular vote wins. Fuck the electoral college. Yes, I know that this would have spelled doom for the Bush lovers. While, I'm not a Bush lover, I have found out in the past two years that I am a (fairly) conservative Republican. I'm 27, so I guess you can see where I come from with my first point.
I had more to type up but couldn't quite get my point across since I'm a bit inebriated at the moment. My two cents...

I respect you for respecting my vote, but I voted for the stable man that has roots deep within this country and helping it in anyway possible.

They're not going to start taxing gross revenues. You might as well shut down every business if that were to happen.
You're taxed on net income....and that's controllable.
Fuck you.
I am not ashamed of my country. I love my country.
What I am ashamed of is the people who bought into our newly elected leaders blatantly obvious lies. I'm ashamed that celebrity status in this country means more to people than the country itself.
I don't believe for one minute that they bought into Obama's lies. I fully believe they voted against the dreaded REPUBLICAN.

And this is why you are wrong. If I sell $5million worth of product, and have a cost of $4.5million, that leaves me with $500k in 'profit.' Now if I pay his 39% on $5M, that is $1.95M in taxes, which only leaves me in the hole -$1.45M
He has never stated anything about net.

Good Job obama supporters. You have doomed us all:
1. Elect a president with NO military background at all in the middle of a war.
2. Elect a president who will shit on our beliefs as a nation under God not allah ( I will continue to lower case his name and obama's for they both make me want to puke) and swear in on the Koran.
3. Elect a president who will tax the hard working American to give it to the sit on there azz crew and still find some way to buy 26" rims for there 93 Caprice and Crown Vic donks.
4. Who continually stated that he was not using the race card but the entire acceptance speech and media hype has been nothing but african American based.
5. MOST IMPORTANT oBAMA LOVERS: DID YOU LOOK AT HIS RUNNING MATE? HE IS A COMPLETE CLUELESS IDIOT AND HE WILL BE PRESIDENT, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT oBAMA WILL MAKE IT 4 YEARS? For the record I am not making any threats or implying anything. History will tell the tale.

We need a shift in forces and strategy, not a pull out, or a godamn time table that elapses it, thats like handing the playbook out. We also dont need a cut in Military spending, we need to make our military as strong as ever in times like these, especially on the homefront. Why should we not finish the job?

Whos talking about Bush??? Was he running against osama? No, we are talking about McCain, a man who has been through the shit and back.

so you based your entire vote on how the iraq war is handled? McCain shouldn't have been the person running vs obama, if you want to blame the people you can start with those that voted him for the Rep party.

I didnt base my vote on that alone, no. It was a huge part though, yes. NATIONAL SECURITY, something osama knows NOTHING about, or wants to preserve. I also slated on issues such as the Economy, and not wanting to work hard to give my money away. As someday I would like to own my own business, and not be penalized for it. I also dont care for his opinions on energy policy. I could go on....
The thing is, everyone who voted for this clown did so for the wrong reasons. I want a President with leadership ability, and who has been around the block and knows things. I dont want the GQ, MTV popular cool guy as president. Thats exactly what happened, and when push comes to shove, we will get shoved.

no but I do break the 120k, which according to Richardson (and time will only tel the honest truth) is what its coming down to. Obama went from 250 to 200 in his own words. Biden opened his mouth with 150, and Richardson said 120. At this point I am not in his bracket and my wife will earn a permanent vacation. The unfortunate part is she is a nurse, and a great one at that, so people in need will miss out on her care.

I'm in your same predicament as well. I'm not close to the $200k mark (wish I was) but know the increased taxes in our range is a distinct possibility. However, I will tell you this, I'll be damned if I let that change my way of life. My wife and I will continue to work as we always have. We may have to cut back on things if it comes to it, but we've been doing that the last 2 years, and that's with the GOP in the driver seat. The purchasing power of the dollar is where my real concern lies....

Are you showing profits of more than $200+/yr? I bet your not..So you might even see a benefit..I dont get why you are upset? No one is gonna take all your money lol..
I make well over $250K/year....but I WORK for it. Why is it right for someone to tell me what I have to do with it rather than invest it myself and support my own family with it? Why do I have to support yours with it?
It boils down to what is right...and what is wrong. That is WRONG.
America is now an entitlement and welfare country. Americans have chosen to vote themselves gifts from the government and the "rich"...and that is the beginning of the end. :(

Don't get all worked up about it.
They're not going to start taxing gross revenues. You might as well shut down every business if that were to happen.
You're taxed on net income....and that's controllable.
the new texas franchise tax is based on gross revenue, not profit. If you tax on gross you immediately render all tax shelters moot, and bring in more revenue. There have been cases where people on paper lost money but still had to pay the tax anyway. It is blatently unfair, but very attractive to governments. And it will kill businesses.

I was talking Federal taxes, but yes, a lot of states tax the gross or adjusted gross for their franchise/business privilage taxes. The tax is usually around 1% of gross. I agree it's bullshit.

2. Elect a president who will shit on our beliefs as a nation under God not allah ( I will continue to lower case his name and obama's for they both make me want to puke) and swear in on the Koran.
3. Elect a president who will tax the hard working American to give it to the sit on there azz crew and still find some way to buy 26" rims for there 93 Caprice and Crown Vic donks.
4. Who continually stated that he was not using the race card but the entire acceptance speech and media hype has been nothing but african American based.
5. MOST IMPORTANT oBAMA LOVERS: DID YOU LOOK AT HIS RUNNING MATE? HE IS A COMPLETE CLUELESS IDIOT AND HE WILL BE PRESIDENT, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT oBAMA WILL MAKE IT 4 YEARS? For the record I am not making any threats or implying anything. History will tell the tale. Almost every president has had an assassination attempt, now the die hard extremist have a really good motivation.

I completely understand where you're coming from, and I heard Obama say the same thing about gross revenues. However, he and Joe the Plumber simply misspoke about revenues instead of net income. Under current law Congress cannot tax gross revenues. The Internal Revenue Code allows for deductions, and nobody is introducing a new tax law that says differently. I asked my accountant, and he laughed and said he wished he had a dollar for every client that called about this.

I'm not reading every post or quoting several, but you get the idea. For the record, I wanted both to lose -- zero votes for each candidate so we could back up and pick new ones. Oh well.
1) Every DFWStangs member makes $250K or more a year so they will be supporting the poor.
2) All of you believe every mass email you get about Obama being a Muslim. He never was and never will be. He placed his hand on his own Bible when sworn into office as Senator by the GOP's own Dick Cheney. Funny how you guys talk about people drinking the Kool-Aid. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_barack_obama_muslim.htm
3) I know where to go for 100% correct tax advice. Thank you DFWStangs.
4) Apparently you guys missed the $4 plus gallon of gas or enjoyed paying for it. You can thank the election for forcing the GOP petroleum guys to lower prices. Now, let's hope some legislation is put in place to stop them from superficially controlling the supply to inflate prices (much like the steel mfg's are doing now).
5) Most of you say our country sucks and is doomed, yet none of you are packing up to move north or south. Some of you should really try moving east or west and improve the world in general. Love it or leave it. You're an American and support our country regardless of your personal beliefs.
6) McCain is an idiot. He can't even read off a teleprompter or script. What makes anyone think he is fit for making important decisions. I'm not sure he will be able to tie his own shoes in a few years.
7) Palin is an even bigger idiot. Obama didn't defeat the GOP as much as the GOP threw in the towel by sending lambs to the slaughter. A down economy, so much negativity towards the Bush regime, and McCain/Palin is the best the GOP could offer??? Seriously???
8) There are two options when it comes to paying for stuff. You either go into debt as we've done the last several years, or you tax people and business to pay for it. If all of you that are crying about us having too much debt but don't want to pay more taxes have a better idea, write your congressmen. I personally would like to see income tax replaced with a straight sales tax. Then, it doesn't matter if you want to put 22" rims on your Ford Festiva or furnish your brand new 8K sq. feet house in the latest fashions -- you're paying tax based on your decisions to spend your hard earned money.
9) Those of you that feel you should get to keep what you make, see #8 above and also include signing a waiver releasing you from paying or receiving social security.
10) According to everyone here, we're going to all be invaded because Obama has no military experience. What did all the Texas Air National Guard experience do to help current Bush? Could it be he learned so much there while receiving favorable treatment and having irregular attendance? How about some the guys regarded as the greatest Presidents the country has ever known -- Lincoln and FDR? Their combined military experience = NONE!
Bottom line is this. The country needed something different. Obama isn't necessarily the different that I wanted or would choose. I can say the same for McCain. Obama won, he will be my President starting next year, and all I can do is support him as an American citizen who loves this country and hope things work out for the best. For the items that I don't like, I can either be actively involved with my governement officials or leave the country. It's that simple.
Now, flame on!

If the war was over in 1945 then tell me what was different between securing the defeated germany against communist insurgents for the next 50 years and what is happening in Iraq to make the war "not over"?
They both follow a similar pattern. Collapse of the state, institution of a new state, protection of that new state from insurgents and building an ally who eventually becomes powerful enough to aid our enemies. Iraq is still in the rebuilding stage, but I'm sure given another 30 years they will be able to aid someone against our best interests.

russia was making a play to take as much land as possible after the war the US didn't want other countries to fall, so we placed bases and were there to help if russia was to make a move, but the fighting was over the soliders were not dying or being attacked. we didn't send new troops there we sent most of them home, the ones that stayed were the "lifers" and they were there because that was their new home base. But they were not fighting during that time.
the biggest difference is the people of germany wanted the help, the people of iraq don't want our help anymore, they see it as an attack on their religion based on hate. but this war is closer to vietnam than WWII the vietnam people didn't want us there, much like the iraqi people. it is a war we can not win, at least not how we are fighting it right now.

Right. Bush was actually correct when he claimed, "Mission accomplished." There has been other objectives out here since, though. What people don't understand is that we took on a great responsibility when we dismantled the government out here. We basically said that we'd run government operations until Iraq is once again self-sustaining. It would be very irresponsible of us to just leave after destroying the government. We'd be no better than Saddam or any of those terrorist organizations. All those who originally voted to back the Administration when going in and now oppose us still being there had no business being where they were to vote in the first place. Given the original information presented, anyone who didn't support the initial attack should have their head checked.
the biggest difference is the people of germany wanted the help, the people of iraq don't want our help anymore, they see it as an attack on their religion based on hate. but this war is closer to vietnam than WWII the vietnam people didn't want us there, much like the iraqi people. it is a war we can not win, at least not how we are fighting it right now.
You actually believe this shit? You think no one in Iraq wants us there? You think the South Vietnamese people didn't want us in Vietnam? I'm not sure whether to laugh or vomit.
You should read something besides USA Today for your military history.
We won the war in Iraq by any reasonable measure you want to use except for the ones involving puppy dog kisses and other touchy feely horseshit. Even in comparison to Vietnam the performance of our troops has been spectacular. Right now the biggest threat to the peace in Iraq is the election of an idiot to the highest office in our country. It was a great morale booster for the insurgents.

Ummm...well said. It's about like having that "deadline" set for a pullout. If al qaeda can wait about 9 weeks for Barry, the entire game changes. It's kind of like putting Brad Johnson in for Romo... :cool:

there are people that want us there, but that number falls everyday we destroy what was once their homes. The problem we face is how can they build a form of government that will work for them if we are still running things as we see fit. That would be like having two presidents here one being a Rep the other a Dem and each have 50/50 control, nothing would get done.
Our job now should be to train their military, let the people have their election see it set up and get out. If they fall, they fall, but much like having a kid you can't be there to watch them every step of the way, they have to learn some things on their own. Our troops are being wasted in iraq, when they should be in Afgan and maybe even in pakaistan(sp?).
I didn't vote for obama but now that he has won, i just hope that he will listen to the advisor he has and assume he knows more then them on matters of war.

We're not the ones doing the destroying. Thankfully more and more are realizing that. Al most every base has Iraqi Army and Police training and working in some capacity now. We even have tons of local workers that come in daily to work the operations and maintenance of these bases. The Iraqis are doing more and more and we're moving into more of a supervision role. Self-sustainment is almost there. Too bad you can't see it through the media filter. This mission is a success, but too bad that's a relative term these days.

Success? CNN says not, therefore it is not. :)
Shit, things in Iraq have been better than the media says since day 1 basically. Bunch of anti-American fucks.
Of course, the media does not cover the terrorist attacks. Just "explosions", "bombs", "IEDs" and so forth. Very rarely do I hear that it is what it is, a terrorist attack.
Take care,

wait so if that is true then why are you against removing the troops, they have done their job and now it is up to the iraqi people to do theirs. you mean to tell me that this can't be done in 2 yrs if we are almost there now?

We're on a good track for two years, but not the way Obama wants to vacate. He wants a Battallion a month gone until all is gone. Timelines like that can't be done. You move out however many is deemed fit by CENTCOM, no one else.

Just the logistics behind who covers for who when 300-500 would be difficult and having to do that every month would be insane IMO.
Also, people may not realize but you pull out probably a fairly low percentage (I'd guesstimate around 15-25%) you may as well pull out 100% of the military. Since they'll become ineffective as the terrorists will likely ramp up their efforts while we're redeploying. Specifically when doing so with unrealistic goals that can't be obtained without being extremely careless/sloppy.
