Don't forget that people don't pay the 6.2% Social Security tax on income over $102,000, so they are paying less than those making under $102,000. Never mind tax shelters and loopholes the wealthy have to keep part of their income from being taxed.

Not only that, but in order to pay for the last round of tax cuts, of which the majority of the savings went to the same people paying a lower percentage on Social Security tax, they raided the Social Security fund.

:redface: I caused a scare at my polling place... why? I speak loudly across the gym to my waiting husband: "it's NOT showing my choice!"

My electronic ballot summary said my choice was:
Electoral votes for president: BAR
What? for Barr?

I go back, unselect my choice, reselect my choice, go back to the choice list page:
Electoral votes for president: BAR :uhh:

Oh.. okay. They come console me with a printout that shows BAR is for BARACK OBAMA.
I can hit "cast ballot." :blushing:

But: Why can't the dumb machines print the WHOLE name of your choice? And give me a printout with this? :confused:

Honestly, I prefer the scan-trons. Or even the punch-cards. I knew how to use punch cards and check them! Call me paranoid.

Well: Everybody in hearing range at our polling location probably double-checked their selections before casting their ballots. Not necessarily a bad thing. :smile:

I should have known. When people say that they usually don't mean it. But then why to they say it? Is it to motivate others to "do as I say, not as I do"?
 
  • #131
Obama 50% McCain 49% in Indiana with 1% of the precincts in
McCain 62% Obama 37% in Kentucky with 1% of the precincts in
 
  • #132
Kentucky was always a lost cause.
 
  • #133
McCain looks to be winning Kentucky.
 
  • #134
Indiana is a really tight race right now.
 
  • #135
Florida poll closes in 13 minutes, then should start reporting.

I hope tonight isn't a nail biter.
 
  • #136
Obama winning Indiana will be huge since Indiana hasn't voted blue since Lyndon Johnson.
 
  • #137
How will I get any work done tonight!
 
  • #138
51-48% in Obama's favor in Indiana right now. 3% in.
 
  • #139
Wow Obama gained serious ground in Kentucky. McCain only leads 51-48% right now.
 
  • #140
Kentucky is really close right now - but only 10% of precincts reporting. Still, CNN award Kentucky to McCain.

10% precincts reporting - 7:03 p.m. EST, Nov 4 '08
McCain 94,554 52%
Obama 86,700 47%

Indiana is close at the beginning

McCain 64,418 50%
Obama 63,236 49%
4% of precincts reporting 7:00 p.m. EST, Nov 4 '08
