If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes.

you are in denial that the sources listed show Obama really did read this stuff off the telepromter? wow 1st step–admit you have an addiction 2nd st..
Tax cut to 95% of the people changed to 95% of the working people and now it has CHANGED to those that do community service, military or work, at the speed you countered the truth you didnt check the sources that Obama read from the telepromter–Obama cant beleive what he has been reading,
the truth is before your eyes and you deny it, you people are sad, I hope Obama does win so you can see what por is, I worked for a living so I can watch you grovel like beggers and fight for a crumb of bread–I havent been turned in yet for the truth,,,, the Obamaidiots must be in shock and awe from what Obama read from the telepromter
the reason you dont see reference to middle class is because middle class is a Socialist term–actually is middle/peasant class when it was originally defined by Karl Marx

there was a greater number of trained professional before the Clinton era but they got wiped out by taxes
