Ah yes! Those cute Cork hoors. No flies on them.

Folks,
You can all verify all this on all of the websites at the bottom of this email.
Some of you will get upset, but the facts are there.
These are facts that we can't ignore.

Some of you are pretty well off.
Guess what? You're going to pay a whole lot more taxes if Obama gets elected.
That's not just me saying it. Please go to the sites below.

You like a big home.
If is bigger than 2500 square ft your taxes are going to increase.
I don't know about you, but I have better things to do with my money than give it to the government.

No thanks.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. 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. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)

OBAMA
39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit".)

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2,400 square feet.
New gasoline taxes (as if gas wasn't high enough already).
New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity).
New taxes on retirement accounts.
