You all know that I am not an Obama surrogate, but I will give credit where credit is due.
With a HEAVY DOSE of skepticism, I present the Obama Tax Calculator.
This calculator really makes a voter think. And, when you see how much money you might get back from an Obama administration, you really might feel compelled to vote for him. It’s a great marketing technique.
Based on mine and my wife’s income, filing jointly, a President Obama will ensure that I get $1000 more back on my taxes than the $100 he says I’ll get from a President McCain.
Believe it or not, I don’t really feel good about that. Not because I don’t want the money, but because I know where it comes from: those companies and investors that are providing jobs and employment for the rest of us.
Why should I be a recipient of their wealth? Of their hard work?
What did I do to deserve it?
Besides, if I take their money, doesn’t that mean they have less to continue investing, saving, researching, and developing?
It just kinda seems like, well, stealing.
