Ray, the answer to your question RE: "Obama road" would be YES.
95% of working people in this country will get a bigger tax CUT from Obama than from McCain. If you clear $250,000 per year after all your deductions and write-offs then you're taxes will remain about even, and upward from earning a Quarter Million Dollars a year you will have an increase in taxes. The largest of tax increases under the Obama tax plan goes to the largest income earners, they can afford it, they have benefited the MOST from this great nation.
If you haven't noticed, some of the wealthiest people are involved in one of the largest financial failures in our history, and we could use a few dollars to help the nation recover from that, and pay for the few wars we got going on. Somebody has to monk up for this stuff and the middle class have been nearly bled out of existence, it's time for the wealthiest in this nation to put up, cause we know they aren't gonna shut up...
