Brother #2 makes $141,00.00 a year...he has a 4 year degree in Business Management. He pays $23,000.00 income tax/year, $6,000.00 in SS and $2,000.00 in Medicare. His wife is a stay at home Mom and does not qualify for Medicare...she will have to purchase Medicare when the time comes. He was not able to itemize on his tax refund, because he did not have enough deductions. Hell ya that is fair...my ass it is fair.

I am not overly thrilled with McCain or Obama. I am TRYING to do the right thing by voting what is best for the country.
The time has come where I must vote what will benefit *me* the most. I have never thought this way before..

Abortion does not affect me.
Gun control does not apply to me
School education no longer applies.
Immigration has lukewarm concerns..both candidates are on the same page anyway.
Both are on the same page with Stem cell research.
Both oppose the constitutional amendment that bans gay marraige.
They both sponsored earlier legislation that would set mandatory caps on greenhouse emissions and supports tougher fuel effiency standards.
Both want to ease restrictions on Cuba..does not apply to me.
Campaign finance...whatever.
Both want want healthcare more affordable.
Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, N.Korea, Russia, Timbuck-fucking two, and Four Corners, Anywhere in the world...an always on going, forever, hot bed of militants at any given time for the rest of my life, next 20-30 years, whichever comes first we will ALWAYS have to watch our backs..a strong military is a must for me.
Leadership ability...hmmm..

What concerns this 53 year old ...cutting taxes..or at least having them stay the same. That is what it will all boil down to for me...and I do not want Susie Q, who never finished high school and is teetering on her 4th bankruptcy..demanding someone else help her...dammit...we all know who that someone else is.
If someone wants to help the poor..DO IT..tithe ten percent of your income to the poor and their healthcare.....leave me out of it...I am swimming up stream as it is trying to stay afloat myself...and I do not expect a soul to help me..I would rather die first than rely on someone else anyway.

Go ahead...rip me a new one.
