Will Obama help or hurt Fractionals

[skiandsurf]

How about this: all the Republicans' money goes to pay for the war your boy got us into, and all the Democrats' money goes to the entitlements that they got us into.

Your $4200 can go exclusively to repay the cost of one half of one second of the war.

Feel better now?

Since the Republicans all make money, this will get paid off evenly.

Since the Democrats are mostly "the poor", this will be paid off by the few on the top, while the majority of the pond scum get by for free.

...............
Now back to business taxes.

Did you know that American Airlines was once HQ'd in New York until the high taxes chased them away.

And did you know that Continental Airlines was based in CA before the high taxes chased them away.

Is there any wonder why TX is home to 3 major airlines. Hint....lower taxes.

I'm definitely in favor of my tax money paying for defense and the war then to pay some scum sucking leech to sit on their butt, not do anything and collect a handout! Sounds like a good plan to me!

How about this. No tax cuts for people who don't pay taxes. And I keep my money.

Would this be about half of the 95% of "taxpayers" that Obama says will get a tax cut if he's elected?

I'm no expert, but this smells like a vast expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit that sends refund checks already to a whole bunch of folks who pay no taxes to begin with. Given the income redistribution mentality of the Left, some of these folks are going to end up subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax and get an even bigger check.

Wow. I'm speechless. I know the post I quoted this from is seven days old, but if you believed this then (and especially now after this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nokTjEdaUGg), you should have your ATP stripped and be subject to psychological evaluation by the FAA.

Show me any other candidate that has any executive experience at all. Obama and Biden have never run anything. She even has more executive experience than McCain, who only ran a Navy squadron.

I'm not going to base my vote on a 90 second soundbite. I'll take substance over style. I'll grant you that Obama is the best speaker running, but he won't have a teleprompter in the oval office.

At any rate, I'd rather have a more experienced president and a capable veep than a novice president and a more experience (but still mostly wrong) veep.

Actually, an analysis of districts in the USA Today after the last election, showed that most wealthy tend to vote Democrat. So do most of the lower incomes. The Middle Class is solidly GOP.

For those who don't know, Obama received more campaign money in four years than all except one member of Congress received in twenty years. The lone exception? Chris Dodd, Democrat and chairman of the senate banking committee. (John Kerry came in third.)

What a joke, this is not Tina Fey doing a SNL skit, it is the real thing. How sad.

I felt sorry for her after watching it.
I will feel sorry for the country if they are elected.

All talking points and no substance. Tell us av8tor, what exactly will he change? Is $3 trillion in new spending "change?" Is infationary taxation "change?" Is bowing down to terrorist "change?" Is it "change" to give illegal aliens free health care?

Give me a break. The only change that Obama brings is skin color. Absolutely everything else is the same old tax and spend crap. We don't need more spending, we need cuts and in a big way.

amen amen!

I'm not a big fan of Bush, but I think Obama takes the cake when it comes to sounding like an idiot in this town hall.

Neither one is anything close to an idiot.

Obama is even more impressively intelligent than he seems ince you investigate his life story.

I believe his exceptional abilities were noticed by the right persons at an early age and he was hand-picked and groomed for certain purposes. Much like Joe Kennedy groomed his sons, except Obama did not come from quite the same position of advantage.

When he left home for college ... there were people who were waiting for him. To mentor him.

He is no idiot. He is exceptional. Identified as such like 14 year old pitching prospects are identified by pro scouts. Like children of the same age with exceptional mathematical ability are identified as prospects for top academic careers at elite schools.

 

[blueridge71]

I agree with gunfyter. He is no dummy, but he is a dupe. He apparently has never been exposed to anything other than a leftist viewpoint growing up. That would explain his belief that he is centrist.

George Soros may have stayed behind the scenes this year, but there is little doubt that he'll be calling many of the shots.

As far as speaking ability, here is Obama when he doesn't have a teleprompter:

And, oh yeah, he said that were 58 states, not including Alaska and Hawaii. If McCain had said that, the media would have jumped all over it.

Maybe he was thinking of Southern California. That would explain one.

Pilots are caught between a rock and a hard spot on this issue. Especially for those in private aviation and to a slightly lessor extent those in the airline industry, our jobs depend on the spending that wealthy people do. If they decide they don't need that corperate jet or that first class ticket, then there will be less jobs. If a company needs to reduce cost because taxes and government regulations have placed a burden on the bottom line, maybe the travel budget gets cut. Without jobs, unions have no reason to exist. There is no doubt that McCain has a record that would be considered anti-union. The question that needs to be asked is whether a uniion actually creates any jobs. I think the relationship that NJ and NJ pilots have is one to be envied. With that relationship, why would you care what McCain's position is on unions?

Let me take your second point first. The Bush Labor Dept. has arguably been the most anti-union is history. It has instituted rules designed to undermine union's abilities to exist, let alone thrive. The Bush administration's appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, as well as the National Mediation Board have been particularly concerning. In one glaring example, Bush appointed Robert Battista, who last December told a joint hearing of the House/Senate that he doesn't believe the primary purpose of the National Labor Relations Act is to promote collective bargaining. Excuse me??

The point is there is every reason to believe a McCain Labor Dept. would be much worse. As cited above, McCain has made numerous anti-union statements over the years. He clearly brings a record of adversarialism towards unions to the table. This is why every Labor organization, AFL/CIO, Teamsters, SEIU and others have not only endorsed Obama, but devoted significant resources to the effort. So that is why I say, a union pilot's vote for McCain, it a vote against his/her own economic self interests.

As for your point about an Obama administration's impact on our wealthy owners. It is true Obama has promised an elimination of taxes for the poor, a tax cut for the middle class and an increase for the wealthy. I don't believe many of our clientele will cancel that trip to Aspen or PBI, because of a tax increase. You can bet they will still be spotted at their exclusive country clubs and on the golf courses. I think the theories associated with trick-le down economics have been thoroughly repudiated. They were an effort paid for and supported in every way by the monied interests in this country to fool you and yours into picking up the tab for their jet-setting life-styles. I'm am not buying it anymore - especially in light of the most recent financial crisis. Look, as pilots, I think it's time we stooped buying into the Republican's efforts to fool/distract us from the real issues. Spend the time to investigate what the candidates are really saying on the issues.

Harsh reality time: You have virtually nothing in common with the people sitting in the back of your airplane, stop voting with them.

So according to you he is a political puppet, always has been and always will be. He may be an intelligent man, but that alone doesn't make him qualified, or the correct choice for the next leader of the free world.

I think you have mostly mischaracterized my statement and its intent except for
the fact that I do not think he is the correct choice.

I think he was "discovered" at an early age by members (Frank Marshall Davis)of the Communist Party USA. He was afterward mentored by a network of radical leftists of several varieties who were contacted by Davis for that purpose.

I think he was recruited and recognized as a great prize. I think there were people planning his career.

Who graduates from Columbia University to take an extremely low paying job as a community organizer for ACORN? The purpose of that was the stepping stone to greater things. He actually became a trainer for ACORN, teaching the Alinsky Method.

Saul Alinsky who wrote the book RULES FOR RADICALS.... said of the Middle Class ... is that they were where the Power in America is. So you have to organize to influence the middle class ... but Alinsky HATED the middle class. Organize them for the purpose of attaining power ... not because you like them.

So I don't think Obama is a dupe or a puppet. I think he knows exactly what he is doing.

I agree with gunfyter.
I also believe he stumbles and adds several uhhs without a teleprompter trying to hide his true beliefs and plans for america. That's why he has to be so thoughtful. He can't respond quickly to answeres with authenticity. I believe he is a mask hiding Rev. Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Alinsky, and the chicago machine with all of their ideas. I would like to hope he can be elected with minimal costs to America's security and economy in the long run, but I'm afraid it's really difficult to scale back big government after it gains too much power.
