It's official. Barack Hussein Obama is the nominee (as if this is a suprise) and probably the next prez. Below is a list of what will prolly be among the first 5 or so items on his agenda. We're FUCKED!!!


1. Socialize healthcare (pay for it by rolling back Bush's tax cuts).

1. Roll back the Bush tax cuts, but only for the wealthiest Americans (those making over $60K a year).

2. Raise the highest tax bracket to 55%, again, only for the wealthiest Americans.

3. Immediately withdraw all US troops from Iraq.

4. Suck off Ahmedinejad.

5. Work with the Iranians to help build a strong democratic govt in Iraq, with Iran of course playing the lead role.

6. Apologize to the world for being such a rich and powerful nation and not redistributing our wealth around the globe while simultaneously promising that CHANGE is coming.

I almost hope he becomes president, just to piss you off.

Fucking Obama.


The highest tax bracket right now is 35%.

So for those that make the most money, they give 35% of their money to the government? 90% of it will be wasted on worthless programs.

Well yes and no. 35% is the top federal tax rate.

Rich people however know how to pay the least amount of tax. I doubt when all is said and done their effective federal tax rate is 35% on their returns.

WTF? Mandatory community service?

"Integrate Service into Learning
Expand Service-Learning in Our Nation's Schools: Obama will set a goal that all middle and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year. He will develop national guidelines for service- learning and will give schools better tools both to develop programs and to document student experience. Green Job Corps: Obama will create an energy-focused youth jobs program to provide disadvantaged youth with service opportunities weatherizing buildings and getting practical experience in fast-growing career fields."

<br>Will109090.....<br><br>I am not going to get into a pissing match with you but hear me out.<br><br>I am a Police Officer. You say that people spend money on trivial shit rather than healthcare. True some people do. But if you have seen what I have, on a daily basis, that there are so many single mothers have to make the choice between feeding thier children or paying for healthcare, then they feed thier kids. Not all people who are unfortunate are in the situation becuase of thier own choices. Some are raised with it thier whole lives and are never given a chance(financially). Which is why Obama's &quot;Community Service&quot; idea is a good one.<br><br>Note: Some of the unfortunate people screwed themselves.......I don't advocate thier decisions.<br><br>

Word, I agree, many people definitely are in bad positions in this country, and they do deserve a start from the government. But the problem arises when they get "comfortable" with receiving lots of handouts from the government, to the point where they may begin to think, "Hey, what's the point of bettering myself if I'm getting tons of handouts from the government!" I know many don't think like that, but many do. Just go take a stroll through subsidized housing and check out the cars in the parking lot.

I do think social programs have their place in our society, but the abuse of these programs is rampant. The funny thing is, the government throws a decent amount of cash at the people receiving the handouts, but they can barely pay the people who do checkups and enforce the rules?

As for police officers and teachers, I do think they are underpaid and deserve more money, but unfortunately when you're a civil servant, the government screws you in more ways than one.

I just think there is tons of wasteful spending in Washington due to government inefficiency. I've worked for the government before, and I saw some really lazy ass people working there. Granted, these people were GS-5-8 and not the higher grades, and not all of them were lazy, but some definitely were. That shit wouldn't fly in the private sector. The laziness of some of them would have their asses tossed on the first day.

He's got some pretty agressive plans. But, don't they all prior to going into office? Makes you wonder what the highest tax bracket will rise to and he will define as a wealthy american in order to pay for all this.

I don't think these kids will be paid for this retarded community service. They'll just be eligible for that $4000 college credit once they complete this slave assignment.

There are already 100 programs to assist with college costs. My college tuition was paid about 80% by scholarships and government grants and I came from a average to slightly above average family. Walked out of college with $4k in student loans (granted FL education is cheaper bc its subsidized by the state, but still)

People using the $$ card as an excuse to not goto college is a crock of sh**t... i worked 40-60/week hours through my 4 years of school, paid all of my expenses, and had a kick ass resume when I got out from my job experience.

These days there are a ton of night classes and internet classes so that working people have the same advantages as the typical student.

We dont need to hand out $$ in exchange for community service. my high school had to ditch a program to require community service for all students bc THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE IN THE COUNTY FOR ALL OF THE KIDS.
They had voluntary programs for the kids who wanted to participate.

We dont need to tax the top bracket 55% to pay for kids to screw around doing community service

I'm still waiting for that "top tax bracket" to finally realize that not only is it cheaper to send our jobs overseas due to government regulations, but soon it will be cheaper to live overseas and relocate the whole damn business to India or some other place. Then poof there goes a huge fraction of the federal budget. Whether we like it or not, the rich are people too, not some giant piggy bank to fund social programs.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets his energy policies implemented by 2030. The socialistic indentured community service programs are interesting as well. I imagine Fidel Castro has similar programs in Cuba. Hail Comrade Obama!
