Poll question: Who will not support Kerry because they want to keep their Bush tax cut...

...for those making over $200 thousand dollars a year? Lets be honest now...

1. You forgot -

"I don't care how much I make - we need to fix this country"!

[fob]

2. bush*s tax "cut" has cost me over $15,000 so far!

I can't take another bush* tax cut.

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. well, i think one aspect of the Bush tax cut affects me

I think it's the rate that got dropped from 15% to 10% - or something like that.

I'd prefer paying 10% - but I'd also prefer Kerry in the White House.

4. Lots of folks doing 1040s are finding out they have to pay for that check

they got last summer. We tried to tell them it was an advance on any monies they might get back on their 03 return, but they wouldn't listen.

My daughter says everyone she talks to about it says they have to pay this year. Come November, the pain of writing those checks out will be fresher in their memories that the fun they had paying bills with those paltry checks last summer.

They better up the pay for the guards at those gated communities cuz things are gonna get sticky soon.

7. Yep! I asked this question in GD:

Is it just my imagination that, last year, the zero taxes due went a lot further up the income scale than $5? I just did my daughter and son-in-law's 1040EZ. Last year, the got all their money back. This year, they will get back $205 out of almost $600 paid in.

On edit: In the tax tables, tax due starts at $5.

5. What tax cut!

Check your state taxes yet?

6. No offense, but...

Who "Never expects to make 200,000 per year"???

Personally, I expect to make a bazillion a year at some point in my career.

It's called a "Goal".

[w4rma]

8. You really "expect" to make a bazillion/year? (n/t)

[Indiana Democrat]

12. I'm working towards it.

[NNN0LHI]

9. I don't. I am retired on a fixed income

Now if I hit the lottery for a few mil, I will be glad to give up half of it or whatever I have to pay to keep the rest. But no. I am not planning on ever making 200 grand a year. There you go.

10. No. I don't make anywhere near 200 grand a year. Never expect to, but

even if I did, I hope I'd be willing to do the right thing and pay my fair share.

11. I made $1600 less this year and had to pay More tax

than I did last year. I make less than $25000 and am single so I guess enough tax was not withheld so I had to pay taxes. I have consistently had to pay taxes since 2000. The "tax cut" did not help me.

15. Silly,

you aren't RICH. You don't deserve one!!

(Takes off GOP "thinking" cap)

13. I hope I never vote my pocketbook over my conscience

Maybe I am an optimist but, I make a very good wage and my job probably can't be outsourced but, I care more about the thousands who don't have those advantages than hoping for a few more dollars come tax time.

I think that might be the difference between Dems who do well and Repubs who do well: I will never see my good fortune as an entitlement but, rather look at those without such fortune as "there but for the grace of God go I."

14. WHAT Bush tax cut??

My paycheck has been cut (in practical terms) time and time again over the last three years, but what I get back from the IRS is the same pitiful amount it always was.

BTW, didn't Kerry vote for some of those tax "cuts"?? And if so, why do you think he will get rid of them?

[Deaner1971]

16. I don't know

maybe the fact that it has been something that he has stated in every debate and in every speech that I have seen?

17. Kick this for the evening shift
