God's Candidate? Wow. I thought he was Muslim.

Now if you're educated in our wonderful government schools you may find this challenging. Stick with it. In spite of what the government has done to you, you can generate some new brain cells that will help you deal with this stuff. It would also help if you got your campaign news from somewhere other than Saturday Night Live.

Those wonderful schools have been run by the Republican Government for 8 years - I should hope they are wonderful.

"I'm going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans."
This Obama promise has already been pretty much debunked in the media. The problem is that it hasn't been debunked on the Black Entertainment Television network or on Inside Edition or Entertainment Tonight. Until these television outlets bring forth the facts most of Obama's supporters won't know the truth.

Oh. If you're assuming a majority vote for Obama, then the majority of Americans are facile, shallow and stupid. Goodness. Well, you said it, I suppose you would know.

And what is the truth? The truth is that almost one-half of working Americans eligible to vote don't pay federal income taxes in the first place. This brings forth the interesting question of how do you cut taxes for people who don't pay taxes. What Obama has done here is change the definition of "tax cut."

Hang on - one half of Americans don't pay federal income tax. At present. Under the current Government. So I guess that's okay, right? But how can working people benefit in that case? Because of course it's about the workers and not about those who have not earned it.

So .. for those who don't pay taxes, here are some of the "tax cut" checks you'll be getting from The Chosen One:
A $500 "make work pay" payment.
A $4,000 payment for college tuition.
A payment equal to 10% of your mortgage interest
A payment equal to 50% of the amount of money you put into a savings account up to $1000.
A payment equal to 50% of the amount of money you pay for child care up to $6000.
A payment of up to $7,000 if you purchase a "clean car." By that Obama means an environmentally correct car.
Plus ... an expansion of the earned income tax credit .. increased payments on top of your earnings if the government doesn't feel you are earning enough.

Sooooooo, all those seem to be about people in work, getting rewarded for making choices that are good for America and good for the world.

There you go ... Obama's "tax cuts." Sounds pretty good, doesn't it. Well, I guess it is, if you're not too successful it IS pretty good. Remember, the harder you work the lower these payments get. Barack Obama's tax plans are all about punishing success and rewarding failure.

Eh? It seems skewed to benefit families, those in work, those paying mortgages, those in education, those making ecological choices... Can't see no benefits fo crack hos there bro.[quote]

"95% of small businesses won't pay any more taxes."

Once people started hearing that the very people that Obama wanted to raise taxes on are the people we depend on for jobs, The BO campaign had to come up with a line to neuter the "small business" argument. Barack Obama knows he's in trouble if the voters find out that 70% of all extant jobs are in the small business sector and that 80% of all new jobs are coming from small businesses. So, Obama comes up with this line about 95% of small businesses not paying any more taxes under his plan.

Hmmmm. How many people here work for a small business. Raise your hands? New jobs, yes. Because established companies don't create new jobs, they just expand. New businesses are small businesses and they create jobs out of nothing.

Here's the trick. Let me illustrate reality with a simple comparison...

What? "Let's say" that this isn't the case at all and play with the figures that way. Let's say does not present any accurate facts, it's supposition.

The point here is that it's not the percentage of small businesses your tax increases hit, it's the percentage of small business employees. Unfortunately that nuance is lost on the majority of voters educated by the government, and the MoveOn Media sure isn't going to take the time to explain it to you. Obama's tax increases are going to hit the small business owners who employ the most people. They are the ones that make the most money. These business owners are going to respond to the tax increases one of two ways. They'll increase prices -- which hit all of us -- or they'll cut expenses. Their number one expense? Personnel. Vote for Obama, say TTFN to your job. Makes perfect sense to me, but then I was government educated too.

So the taxes are higher for the most successful businesses. I'm shocked. Bear in mind they are taxed on profits, and salaries are accounted for before profits are calculated. Still, we'll see shall we. If all the small businesses go to the wall if Obama is elected we'll know you were right.

"John McCain voted with George Bush 90% of the time."

First of all, George Bush doesn't cast votes in the U.S. Senate, though McCain and Obama do. The best way to judge how they vote is to see how often they vote with their respective parties. You might want to get those nuisance resolutions proclaiming the need for a colonoscopy every once in a while out of the way. That would leave some key votes for you to consider. The Congressional Research Service did the work. They looked at votes for Obama and McCain on KEY issues. The results? Barack Obama voted with Democrats 97% of the time. John McCain voted with the Republicans 79% of the time.

Hang on, we're back to all Americans are stupid again, aren't we?

"John McCain wants to tax your health insurance benefits."

He's right, but here's the rest of the story. Let's say that you and your brother work for different companies...

And now we're back to Let's Say. Ooh I like this game!

Now that wasn't too hard, was it?

No it wasn't, but then I wasn't educated in America, which apparently makes you a moron.

Now .. just in case you've read something here, heard something on my show or gathered some information from some other source that might cause you to switch your vote from Obama to McCain ... just remember. You're a racist. There is only one reason NOT to vote for Barack Obama, and that's if you're a robe-wearing, cross-burning Klansman. Just so you know. You're going to have that on your conscience.

Oh right. Blimey, and I thought you were serious about all the above. Now I realise it was just a joke and that was all a pile of shit. Phew! Thanks!
