If he's a smart guy, then why can't he fucking understand the economy.

Kudos to King for catching him out in his lie.

Somehow Obama's plan to CUT TAXES AND PROVIDE REBATES WORTH $2000 isn't getting through the clutter.

Obama should totally own the title of tax cutter. Part of the reason he doesn't is because he doesn't SAY over and over he will cut your taxes one large and give a rebate one large. Here we have King repeating what Obama says over and over about the 95% which is a wussy, defensive, vague and unclear "message."

The first time I heard Obama say the figure $1000 was in his long, boring, 2 minute ad on the current crisis which brought in everything from negative campaigning to a new spirit of unity and shared responsibility blah blah blah....he's a master at "burying the lead."

Two thousand smackeroos. Ya think people know about that? That they believe it?

They don't.

His endorsement of McCain comes as a complete shock to me. Truly.

The operative promise is tax cuts for 80% of the people, and 95% of "working families" ... which is generally unfavorable for singles, childless couples, empty-nesters, students, retirees, and a few others.

Note also that Obama's promise is infeasible with respect to restoring active government and deficit reduction, and with respect to top-share incomes ability to avoid taxation. The next POTUS - Obama or McCain or McKinney - is going to raise most people's taxes, or we're going deeper down the fiscal vortex.

On the whole, however, flamingbanjo @ 4 nails it. Trump means "my taxes".

I believe the answer to your question would be, "rich white guys like myself".

I hate when FILTHY rich people repeat that meme. Is Obama going to make the sky fall, too?

if ONLY obama could tax Trump into oblivion. non-existence is where i prefer Trump & everything he's touched.

And because they actually CAN'T make money unless they pay people to make the things or perform the services the companies make money FROM.

As for corporate tax cuts heres my take on it; the problem isn't at the federal level rather it's at the state level. Every state is competing with one another to attract large companies to set up shop in their state. What they wind up doing is subsidizing businesses through either tax cuts or straight cash to the businesses and under the political guise of "creating jobs". That money to provide these incentives has to come from somewhere and it isn't coming from the untaxed company in state borders or from employees income taxes.
