    Companies work with profit margins. so if costs go up, the shift their prices to maintain their margins whenever possible.
    Yes, giving tons of money to rich people and corporations helps poor people. And there'll be pie in the sky when you die.

        You know, actually Obama is the only candidate who can say that he actually has helped poor Americans.

        And it'd be pretty tough to convince me that someone who wants to cut taxes for the richest people actually gives a shit.

          From the Tax Policy Center

          The impact of the tax code on economic activity under each candidate’s policies would differ in several important ways. Under Senator McCain’s proposed policies, the top marginal rates (35 percent on individual income and 25 percent on corporate income) would be significantly lower than under Senator Obama’s plan (39.6 and 35 percent, respectively). McCain’s reduced individual and corporate rates could improve economic efficiency and increase domestic investment, but the larger future deficits would reduce and might completely negate any positive effect. In contrast, Senator Obama’s proposed new tax credits could encourage desirable behavior, particularly if the childless EITC and payroll tax rebate encourage additional labor supply among childless low-income individuals. However, he would also direct new subsidies at an already favored group—seniors —and an already favored activity—homeownership—which could probably be better directed elsewhere.

              At least the rich people got bailed out by big government.

                        • You said that Barrack will lower taxes and yet under Obama:

                          Income tax rate- increase 4.6%
                          Income/payroll- increase 14.8%
                          Capital gains- increase 13%
                          Dividends- increase 21.6%
                          Estate tax- increase 55%

                          The Democrats have slashed the child care tax credit in half and brought back the marriage tax penalty that Republicans once successfully eliminated.

                          Among those who will experience a tax increase if Obama’s plan ever becomes law:

                          26 million small business owners, by an average of $3,960.
                          48 million married couples, by an average of $2,899. (Marriage Tax)
                          42 million families with children, by an average of $2,181.
                          12 million single women with children, by an average of $1,082.
                          17 million senior citizens, by an average of $2,270.

                            Obama has experience serving on the Senate foreign relations committee. But obviously McCain doesn't really care about experience or he wouldn't have picked such an abysmal running mate as a political ploy. It also shows that he was flat-out lying when he said that he would not do something bad for the country simply to try to win an election.

                            And by the way, McCain doesn't have "executive" experience either.

                              I'd swear from what the liberals keep saying the Obama is running against Palin.

                              I guess they have already conceded that he will lose when compared with McCain so it's best not to talk about that.
                              I've been talking about Obama vs. McCain for about ten pages... Palin is a talking point because it shows McCain's terrible judgement.
