One of Barack Obama's most potent campaign claims is that he'll cut taxes for no less than 95% of "working families." He's even promising to cut taxes enough that the government's tax share of GDP will be no more than 18.2% -- which is lower than it is today.
It's a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that he's also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%. But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans already pay no income taxes at all? There are several sleights of hand, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of "tax cut."

For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase "tax credit." Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand no fewer than seven such credits for individuals:

You continue to use words that are propaganistic.  That neither lends to nor helps understand the discussion.

What do you call it when someone takes money with force or under the threat of force in order to benefit personally, which in Obama's case involves giving that money to those who he's trying to get to vote for him.

What would you call it...

Paint it any color you like, it's still robbery.

It might help you feel better to know that if Obama manages to pass his energy plan, and your worst fear does come true and we STOP giving $700 Billion dollars to foreigners who don't like us and are using our money to make war against us and buy up our assets, Americans will benefit in the following ways.

1. We will be forced to use more American coal, American Natural gas, American Wind power, American Solar power and American Hydro power. 

2. The oil companies will be forced to start new businesses to find, build and put up new natural gas lines and natural gas stations.

3. Up to 500,000 jobs will be created since Americans will be the ones building the infrastructure and when done will be the ones hired to run them. ie: to take care of the pipelines, windmills or solar farms, and natural gas stations. 

4. We will break Alqueda's network since it is well known that they bank their attacks with OIL MONEY.

How much money will he make when we instead use FREE Sun energy, FREE wind power, FREE geo thermal energy and use Natural Gas (which comes from American and Canadian Feilds) instead of gasoline in our municipal vehicles (buses, trains, taxis)and even some cabs and private cars?

Is it wrong to stop banking the enemy or would you rather keep hearing about the yellow and orange alerts?  Or even worst actually pay off the nuclear weapon they want to use against the US.

I find this a no brainer and truel cannot understand why others don't also.

the actual meeting of Obama and Joe, didnt start with him going up and knocking on Joes door .... yes I know its semantics and Joe is a "nobody" according to your post,but hereis the full conversation not by Breitbart or Drudge..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRPbCSSXyp0
Fox news radio jumped on it first making soundbites of  obama saying "spreading the wealth around"( I was listening to fox as the news broke) and essentially thought that it was a point to roast obama on. They were the ones that ran with it, making him out to be a poor hard done by business man, and how shocking it was . Then Mcain brings him up in the debate, as the poster boy for poor working republicans. Now that hes been discredited and the facts are in... everyone is blaming the "left"media for exposing this chap.
One thing I have to ask is that while I agree the media is left wing , there are plenty of right wing journalists and bloggers who have tried over and over to bring  down obama, from his race, his birth, his beliefs yet nothing has stuck to be so horrible, are they just imcompetant, secretly wanting him to win? or ?

I seriously, seriously doubt that an Obama / Reid / Pelosi power triangle will open up any new offshore drilling, explore for natural gas or any other fuel source lying in any area that even resembles a wild place, build significant coal plants or any nuclear plants at all.

Looking at the record it's clear that the extreme greens will have these three actors in their pockets and that extremist environmental protectionism will be the law of the land under them, regardless of their pre-campaign rhetoric and posturing. farmers will have to pay exhorbitant fuel costs by the end of Obam,a's first term, trucking and shipping will be crippled, and affordable heat and air conditioning will be nothing but a fond memory for millions of Americans who desperately need it.

Rising gas prices? (thats gas-gas, not the stuff you put in your car)

We're always told over here that the price of gas is determined by the price of oil, to which its linked in the commodity markets.

The oil price has dropped dramatically - so the price of gas should drop too.

(unless, heaven forfend, our government was not being entirely truthful. Again)
