"Gotta Love the Super-Libs" doesn't really make any sense relative to the topic at hand. How does a democratic candidate's charitable donations relate to super liberals?

Oh that's right, if you aren't a Republican, you're a crazy, neo-nazi, New Wolrd Order loving, nonconforming liberal that wants to change the current course of the country. As opposed to staying on the same lucrative path the country is on right now. *note extreme sarcasm*

I'd rather have someone in the White House that doesn't give much to charity, than someone in the white house that wants to give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

What percentage of your income have *you* given to charity?

Could you tell me what tax breaks the wealthy have recieved from Bush. I'm ready to be convinced. From my research the top 5% now pay a bigger share then they did back under Clinton. Why do you people hate the people that have made it in this country so much. Why don't you hate the lazy, freeloaders instead. The wealthy employ millions, spend millions on products and services. Do you remember what Clinton's luxury tax did to the boat building industry? How much should a person making 250k with 4 kids pay in taxes? Lets here a figure.....

I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about Bush. He did provide tax cuts that on the surface appeared to benefit everyone in the country, especially middle class. However, his tax cuts contributed to the current state of the economy. Now, I'm not saying that it is the sole cause, just that it's a good part of the reason why we're facing a $500 billion deficit going into 2009. But all that is a different conversation.

I fully agree with you on the lazy freeloaders of America. Personally, I'm sick and tired of paying to raise other people's kids. There's nothing like the person in line in front of me at the supermarket that had 4 young kids and has the taxpayers pay their grocery bill. Or when i worked as an EMT in Hartford and then Boston and people being on MassHealth because they're too lazy to get a job. I think welfare should be limited, no free ride for a life time or paying $200/month for an apartment where I pay $1200 in the same complex for the same apartment. I love my neighbor that has assisted rent, yet somehow drives a 2006 Lincoln. *Sorry, I'm ranting*

I was talking about is this, which is relative to the current Bush tax cuts (From the NYTimes 2 days ago):
