Taxes in the Morning
My friend, Jo, was invited on The Early Show to do a segment about "average Joe's" and what their actual tax breaks would be under each candidate's plan. Take a look - in addition to having Pretty Lady Jo, it also is kind of interesting.
Seriously, though, who out there bases their vote on which candidate will personally benefit them the most, financially? I think tax policies are a critical part of a candidate's platform, but not because it will either help or hurt me - because it either helps or hurts the entire country. Am I naive?

I don't disagree with you, and I think naive is not quite the right word for it (believing in the good of human nature, perhaps), but yeah, I think a lot of tax-break republicans do exactly that. I know one extreme conservative (and extreme wealthy person) for whom this is the number one issue. He also wants to abolish all taxes, though. Yeesh.
abolish all taxes? What, exactly, is his plan for funding the federal government? Not to mention, you know, schools and roads and stuff?
Don't ask me to defend a crazy, yo. I'm just telling you that these people are out there. I'm sure he just thinks that's all for Someone Else to handle.
