Video: Obama, McCain, and Your Taxes

misleading - agreed

I too feel the representation of Ms. Katie's story is false. We must look at the rewards of hard word and tenacity. Niether candidate have a system that I like.

I earn approx $70K, sole supporter of my household and a conservative female. I have a disabled husband who receives NO bennies and no income. We live in one of the most expensive counties in Maryland. I have worked in my career for 25 years. The thought of paying more taxes in order for others to receive more, bothers me.

Life isn't fair. But don't punish those that have put in sweat and backbone into their lives, to reward those that do not make good decisions.

My opinion....income taxes should be rolled back to an even

10% for all income earners - across the board. And govt. (at all levels) not be permitted to tax any other resources.

I am in favor of a flat tax system. However those who use and receive tax credits, subs., and alike don't like this set up.

Using the flat system will eliminate loop holes and tax cheats. It will make the playing field even. Additionally, the govt. will have a less complicated system to work with in many areas, (ie: collection, budgeting and expenditures).
