Be informed.  This CHANGE could affect us all.
                       FYI
The following data, taken from the public record, reveals each Presidential Candidate's proposed TAX Plan, if elected. Each taxpayer should become more informed before the November-08 General Election......or be willing to pay the tariff of ignorance, once taxes are enacted.                                                              
                                                                           
                                                                           
       DATA ON TAXES                                                       
       Proposed changes in taxes after the 2008 General election:          
CAPITAL GAINS TAX                                                   
       MCCAIN:    0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.                       
       OBAMA:     28% on profit from ALL home sales.  How does this affect you?  If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.                           
DIVIDEND TAX                                                         
      MCCAIN     15% (no change)                                          
       OBAMA      39.6%   How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in the stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.'    
INCOME TAX                                                          
     MCCAIN    (no changes)                                              
                Single making 30K - tax $4,500

                Single making 75K - tax $18,750                                     
                Married making 60K- tax $9,000                                      
                Married making 75K - tax $18,750                                     
                Married making 125K - tax $31,250                                   
       OBAMA    (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)                           
                 Single making 30K - tax $8,400                                       
                Single making 50K - tax $14,000                                     
                Single making 75K - tax $23,250                                     
                Married making 60K - tax $16,800                                   
                Married making 75K - tax $21,000                                    
                Married making 125K - tax $38,750                                   
                (Your taxes could almost double!)
INHERITANCE TAX                                                      
       MCCAIN    0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)                    
       OBAMA     Restore the inheritance tax.  Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose  them to these taxes.                                                 
      
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA                                          
 1.)  New government taxes proposed on homes more than 2400 sq. ft.                                                  
 2.) New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)                       
 3.)  New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)                                                        
4.)  New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....                 
5.)  New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
