I was unaware that people in Y! Answers made so much money!

Are they aware that, even for someone making, say 300k, the extra taxes would only be less than 2k?

Why are people making such a big deal about 2 thousand dollars tax on people making over 5 times the average salary in America?



And yes, I am a Republican, but I just can't stand when people use straw-man arguments. If you want to argue against Obama, argue against him on a REAL issue, like abortion or the war in Iraq (even though I agree with him on that)

Please stop using false arguments. It really makes us look bad. Like "Obama is going to tax the middle class at 60%". This is nothing short of a lie, and makes people ignore any valid arguments you may have. Same with "Obama is a Muslim" (He hasn't had any connection to the Muslim faith since he was a toddler) and "we haven't seen his birth cirtificate" (the media has, and I have seen photos of it), etc.
