I didn't ignore the body of your message. You said that the rich were going to stop donating to charity because they would have to pay 10% of that money to taxes. If 10% going to taxes (which will further benefit the poor under Obama's plan) cuts down on the rich's donating to charity, then that just goes to show that they are not very charitable as you always try to say that they are. I mean WWJD? It's funny how you get p*ssed if someone ignores what you say when when everytime calls you on the bs you're spouting, you go on to say that person's comments were useless.

Jesus would place a high premium on giving to the poor as a civil act, and not a governmental one. Jesus never once stated that it was anyone else's responsibility to help the poor other than your own.
Also:
I would if I was making over $250,000.00 a year. As it is, I stand to benefit from Obama's social programs. When I was working at a fast food restaurant and paying for company health insurance that wouldn't come anywhere near paying for blood work, a catscan, and a colonoscopy, I really could have used some subsidized government healthcare. Mccain's plan was going to provide for a $2,000.00 tax credit for health insurance, but would that really have covered anything serious? And, it is difficult to pay $4.00 a gallon for gas, drive eighty miles to work each day, for just eight dollars a day, then buy healthcare, videogames, take a hot chick to a movie. If the government wants to help me out with all that I'm fine with it. Bush sure didn't seem like he was very interested in doing so.
First off, your making a very stupid decision to drive 80 miles to work, and especially at $4.00 a gallon. Move closer to work, or find another job. Furthermore, taking a hot chick to a movie and buying video games are entirely luxury purchases, and are not needed to maintain life. Complain however you want, but we can't help it if you make poor decisions on work, and how you spend your discretionary income.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
