I’ve been looking at IBD/TIPP results and it looks like the under 75K categories are going to the Obama side. 75K+ are firmly with McCain. The 250K tax level is ringing in everyone’s ears so they feel safe voting for Obama. Too bad they aren’t hearing the tax number drop. There could be a whole bunch of buyer’s remorse later on.

Mr_Magoo on October 31, 2008 at 4:25 PM

Maybe not…

From Drudge:

ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error… The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all…

This is reminiscent of Bill Clinton (1992):

1. Slamming Bush (Read My Lips) for raising taxes
2. Promising to cut taxes
3. Raising taxes: oops, I’m sorry, but I am going to have to RAISE taxes on everyone, including taxing social security benefits for the first time.

Democrats never change. They have to lie and fool as many Americans as possible in order to get elected.

jerseyman on October 31, 2008 at 3:32 PM

Bingo. As I recall, in 1992 Clinton promised a middle class tax cut, and a tax hike only if you made some huge number — may have been 200K. In one of their debates, Bush 41 said we should grab hold of our wallets, because the actual salary range to expect a tax hike was around $30K. Clinton of course made light of the claim.

When the tax hike finally came, it started pretty close to that $30K number. And the middle class tax cut? Never happened.

I bet if you took that $30K figure in 1992 dollars and adjusted for inflation, you would have just about the exact salary that would start seeing a tax hike under Obama. I’m guessing somewhere around $42K.

Let’s just elect McCain and never have to find out…

When the USSR first collapsed and droves of Russians started emigrating here, many of the Russians used to like to take pictures of themselves by the meat counter at the supermarket and send them back home. Change.

Are people stupid? Bill Clinton’s millionaire’s tax, after he was elected was lowered to $250,000. When Al Gore was questioned on it, he calmly explained that 250K times the 4-year term they were elected to was 1 million. Why do so many people not mind having their intelligence insulted by these leftists?

[...] See a pattern? And with even the Uhhh-bama shills at CBS noting that there’s no way to pay for The One’s $1 trillion in new spending, even with a tax hike on those making over $250k, this lowering of the “rich” ceiling would certainly explain how they plan on covering the shortfall: they’re going to raise middle class taxes, too.
