Joy – I’ll answer your question about what would happen if Obama had an unmarried pregnant daughter: Nothing. Nothing at all. It would Be “off-limits”! That’s why McCain is not pushing the Rev. Wright issue. It’s about race. Obama would get a free pass on a Pregnant duaghter… as anyone should.
AZ Attorney – The limit on SS is 102K, going to 106K next year. However, this is where Obama’s plan hurts the small biz. He’s talking about lifting the cap. Also, self-employed people pay both the employee (themselves) and the employer share. Together, that’s 15.2%(?) on whatever his take-home pay is. Add that to 39.6% federal income tax, and whatever PA’s income tax is. He’s looking at a tax burden of close to 60%. That’s why he’s dubious about his ability to go into business for himself.
Even if it were “just the 4.6% increase” (not 3%, 39.6- 35= 4.6), we’re still talking of well over a grand, in addition to everything else.
For the dummies who think that looking Presidential means anything, and are worried about McCain’s ability to deal with foreign leaders, remember that he has already met a great many of them, and they already like him. He’s EXPERIENCED, remember?
