I'm at anywhere between 87k & 96k (depending on how my company does for the year)

By the time I pay federal, state, local, residence, and work-city taxes, I lose around 40%.

I lose about 17k-20k from federal alone.

So thats not that bad. You'd pay about 40% on about 60,000$ income in the UK.

What polls are YOU watching?

Because this is what my polls are telling me:

Osceola, 89% in, Obama overwhelmingly.
Orange, 92% in, Obama overwhelmingly.
Miami-Dade, 70% in, leaning Obama.
Palm Beach, 99% in, Obama overwhelmingly.
Broward, 89% in, Obama overwhelmingly.

At this point there are only 3 counties with less than 75% and no counties with less than 50%.

You just made a good case for Romney.

And how will you pay those health care taxes?

Ohio is less than 100,000 votes. Obama's going to win it by a razor thin margin.

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

Florida back to 16,000 vote plus for Obama with 92% reporting. Folks, that is a recount number.

 

[whatbogsends]

Yep, I can believe it...

I can see the day when people like Obama look at me as a single guy with a 3 bedroom condo and say "you've got 2 empty rooms, you have to let these 2 homeless people live with you"

Paranoia, paranoia everyone's coming to get me...

 

[Staccato]

The Panhandle votes from Florida aren't in yet, and they lean toward the GOP. I don't think Romney can win without Florida

There's no need for equivocation Mach, if Romney doesn't get Florida, he's lost. He's not going to pick up the Pacific northwest to compensate.

 

[JBJoe]

And how will you pay those health care taxes?

We'll just cut income taxes. If Romney has taught us anything, it is that this is the best way to increase federal government revenues.

Internet rich guy, rather than internet tough guy?

You could make triple what you do now, and you'd still be wrong. Sorry.

What does "Internet rich guy" mean?

I understand where you're coming from...I used to be liberal when I was your age too. When you're not actually on the paying end of the socialist plan, it doesn't sound as bad. As soon as you start getting the bill for it, it changes your tune pretty quick.

On this matter, I like the Thomas Sowell quote

I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money

I also like the quote "If you're not liberal at 20, you have no heart...If you're not conservative by 40, you have no brain"

Ohio - Obama up by 79,000 votes with 65% reporting.

 

[MachZer0]

If that gave the election to Romney I would laugh oh-so-hard.

If so, those states will immediately start repealing the laws

 

[Redac]

VA is gonna be decided by a really thin margin.

 

[Thunder Peel]

Fox just called Minnesota for Obama. No surprise there.

 

[MachZer0]

Ohio - Obama up by 79,000 votes with 65% reporting.

Rove is calling it for Romney in Ohio based on the counties not reporting yet

 

[ThatRobGuy]

And how will you pay those health care taxes?

If Obama has his way? It'll be by paying 45% instead of the 40%

 

[FaithLikeARock]

You just made a good case for Romney.

Nope, because of the three counties that are underreported, only one is leaning Romney, and has the lowest population. Miami-Dade and St. Lucie represent larger populations and are overwhelmingly favoring Obama. St. Lucie is currently the lowest, and is leaning towards Obama. Romney took a sudden jump because most of Santa Rosa reported in one fell swoop, but since the majority of counties with lower reporting rates lean Obama, Obama has an edge.

 

[Wolseley]

Paranoia, paranoia everyone's coming to get me...

They can come to get me if they like.

But I'll take a bunch of them with me when I go.

The Panhandle votes from Florida aren't in yet, and they lean toward the GOP. I don't think Romney can win without Florida

So far, of the swing states, the spreads for Florida look the closest to the poll spreads.

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

Romney leads by 34,000 votes in Wisconsin with 32% reporting (51.3% to 47.6%).

 

[drjean]

well....they've each 100 to go (or so)
