About that tax plan offered by Senator Obama:

bama’s been lowering the bar on his tax plan. Where he once claimed that only Americans making over $250,000 would see tax increases, he’s now down as far as $200,000 and maybe even $150,000 if his running mate Senator Foot-In-His-Mouth is to be believed.

But one aspect of Obama’s tax plans have been ignored. See, Obama and his comrades are also promising to let the Bush tax cuts expire. If that happens, we’d see massive tax increases for Americans making as little as $50,000/year.

Pretty soon the only people receiving any tax break at all will be those who pay none to begin with!

Hope for McCain supporters (even if it’s just a little bit) from DJ Drummond:

I have been saying all along, that McCain was closer to Obama in the election campaign than the polls were indicating. However, I have been doing so by focusing on party affiliation, the demographic most fiddled with by the polls. Those critiquing my analysis have sometimes pointed to internal demographics which show problems for McCain. With just a week until the end of the season, let’s see where the thresholds for election are, with regard to demographics. That is, what is the minimum performance in each area which was enough to get the win?…..

Over at Musing Minds I found the one line post of the week to date.

Check it out..it has something to do with that wealth distribution we’ve heard about lately. It seems the concept really does run in the democratic family.

Who knew that the Speaker of the House is such a comedienne? Made me laugh!

Live From the Ministry of Truth. A new video from Ed Driscoll..good stuff!

The major media has used every tool at their disposal to inform us that the “Bush economy” has not been profitable to “regular” Americans.

In my mind, if you have strong employment and very low unemployment, it seems to benefit all citizens. Flip at Suitably Flip details the record now held by this Administration in the area of job creation.

I lamented last month that the 47-month streak of consecutive job creation had apparently finally snapped. According to the Labor Department’s preliminary August reading, the economy lost 4,000 jobs that month, the first decline since August 2003. This meant the duration of the economic boom (as measured by job creation) that followed Bush’s 2003 investment income tax cuts had fallen just shy of the record-setting 48-month streak that followed Reagan’s 1986 tax cuts.

Today, however, not only does the Labor Department show a September payroll increase of 110,000, but it revised the August estimate from a decrease of 4,000 to an increase of 89,000. At 49 months (assuming future revisions don’t reverse September’s gains), the Bush streak now stands alone as the longest unbroken period of job creation since we started tracking it in 1939.

Be sure to check out the update to this post and see how Senator Clinton pounced on that negative 4,000 number..I wonder if she has or will correct herself anytime soon now that the numbers have been revised upwards.
