anyone who knows anything or even checked on it would have discovered that most states do not require a contractor license. When you want to buy a plumbing business you only need a QP which means a qualifying party. You mearly hire someone with a license. Some states do not require licensing as long as one jobs invoice does not go over a certain amount say 750.00 in my state. The media is a joke and no one does the research. The want to smear this man because they can. Joe you just keep keepen on and buy your business MCcain will lower the taxes.

To any of you who think NObama will not raise your taxes - just think of how far you can live on 250,000 in NY or CA and if you make anything over that, you will be hit hard. Why 250,000? It is just a figure, NObama picked out of the air and that moron, Biden, loves it. NObama wants more taxes and all of you had better believe it. Democrats have never, never been known to lower taxes and they are not going to start now. We need to keep the tax cuts already in place. The only reason NObama wants to raise taxes is to "spread the wealth around" as he admitted and that, my friends, is socialism!!!!! It will stifle anyone wanting to start a new business or anyone wanted to expand a business. It is a killer for our economy.

anyone can assign their name as Joe the Plumber. So if you are Joe say something about plumbing and I will tell you if this is really Joe making this statement. I know a little something about plumbing so you better do your homework or your clock will be cleaned by a girl. Go ahead I am waiting.

Some of us had an Idea this was going to happen.Last year I sold my Co. that employed 850 employees, with all the insurance I had to pay,retirement. the full boat..
Imade a bundle of money moved it off shore and did not pay a lick of taxes. Bought a Beautiful home in Casa de Sol Spain.I know others that are in the same shape that are leaving until things get better. After all I am 51 years old and want to enjoy life. Go ahead and elect OBAMA I HOPE YOU DO. Some of you wanted to be COMMIES any way.

I love when Republicans accuse Obama of being a socialist, when in fact, the definition of socialism is when banks are bailed out by the government.

For the people complaining about there only being one side, the arfticle says straight out that "McCain does not have a tax calculator that I know of."

But this is all talk. Bill Clinton promised a middle tax cut in 1992, but then said "oh, never mind" when he got into office. Things were "worse than he thought," although the country was already three quarters into a full recovery. Very odd that he didn't know that BEFORE being elected, since all data is public information.

So what we really want to know whether either of them can get their plan through Congress and with what degree of resolve will they do so.

I find it truly fascinating that anyone with half a brain would vote for a democrat.
The democratic party has been taken over at the decision level by radical self serving socialist who want to remove our freedoms.
They were very smart about this takeover as they worked hard to get access to our schools and colleges with forced liberal teaching.
They worked hard getting incompetent people in positions of authority who will follow the party line without question.
They worked hard allowing our borders to spew over with illegal aliens
They worked hard getting the union control.
We conservatives who hold true the values of the American Constitution and the word of God are under serious attack and we better pay attention to the fact that our freedom is under attack

wake up folks !
remember what clinton done after running on tax cuts,after the election he backed out of the cuts by saying things were worse than he knew.
the president can not promise anything---the senate is the only ones that can do anything .so unless you are ready to give the president a new title ( king ) or DICTATOR,look at what the presidents job is before you vote.all those promises on both sides are just lip service to buy the votes of the folks who want a gift for their vote..

I'd like to talk about "drill baby drill", a slogan of the McCain Campaign.
I work for the power industry and have recently helped to expand the Meeker Substation in northwestern Colorado to provide power to electric heaters so that oil companies there can remove the oil from the shale with new technology. Oil Shale Exploration Corp. said they are already producing 4,000 barrels a day from the experimental plots lease to them by the government. And with the current price of oil this is most certainly... worth the effort.

It is reported that there is more oil in the Colorado-Utah-Wyoming area alone, then all of Saudi-Arabia. So that 3% tid bit from Obama at the debate was absolute malarkey.

There is also oil off the coast of Virginia, off the coast of Florida, in Alaska, and an estimated 10.3 billion barrels of oil off the coast of California, which is hurting badly for revenue at the moment.
So what is "drill baby drill" going to do for the American people?

*REMOVE US FROM OUR DEPENDANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST* Is there a better benefit then this?

*CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS* literally... millions. We will need people to provide power to the rigs, drill,transport the oil and people to refine the oil; literally millions of jobs.

*CREATE THOUSANDS OF NEW TAX PAYERS WHO ARE AT THE MOMENT DRAWING UNEMPLOYMENT*

*PAY OFF MILLIONS OF HOME LOANS* this is soooo important, I'm going to say it one more time. *PAY OFF MILLIONS OF HOME LOANS*
and
*LOWER THE PRICE OF FUEL*

If you think this is a bad idea then vote for Obama, he has repeatedly voted against off shore drilling.

People… please… adjusting taxes will not fix our economy, but instead, raising taxes on those that provide jobs is only going to make matters worse for us. We need jobs right now. We need John McCain.

Here's an academic question perhaps somebody can answer: If we were to adopt a "flat" or "fair" tax policy (as most other advanced industrial societies have), would there be any need for all the disruptive partisan wrangling over who is (or isn't) going to raise (or lower) taxes, when, and on whom? I sometimes wonder if we're so staunchly committed to our anachronistic and corrupt tax polities (excuse me, IRS people, nothing personal) because there's a minority of powerful and influential people out there who have a vested interest in keeping the system broken.

So the socialist are trying to buy the American Dream from our citizens for a $1000.00 handout, so called "tax break". What ever happen to the work hard to get ahead spirit that made this country great. We have now come to the point that a majority of our people are welfare bums. We are doomed.

The Germans in 1941-1943 had a Process where they took COAL and made it into Avation Fuel so they could fly all their Aircraft on it because they did not have OIL, They produced 124,000 Barrel per-day. They flew the ME209 Twin Jet Fighter on this SYNTHEIC FUEL, it is also cleaner then JP4 which we use today, The United States has 28% of all COAL in the world ,enough to last for over 300 hundred years Why dont we use this process? We have Flown a Jet Bomber In Aug of this year the MEDIA will not tell you, Why?? The congress canot get their hands on EAR MARKS to line their own POCKETS thats why it will not come to the floor of the House. Dodd and Barney want some or this just like they got from Fredie and Fannit...
