How much did you make last year?

so are you saying you'd rather vote for someone who would be happy to see foreign owned airlines flying domestic routes, take away our right to self-help (strike) and implement baseball style arbitration under the RLA? Well at least you wont have to worry about taxes because you wont be making any money.

I don't fly for the airlines, for one, and I don't agree with everything that Bush has done, but Barack Hussien Obama is not my candidate. I'm sorry your unions are not helping you like they should, thats a whole different problem, and sadly not one I am concerned with. I'm not too excited about any of the people running for president, but I can tell you who I am not voting for.

Well I really mainly wanted to lurk in this thread.. however I am pretty sure its not his political view, but more the Obama's name, and religion that has him talking down about Obama. ( notice the misuse of the name, and than the calling out of his middle name) I HOPE thats not really the reason.. would be very sad if it were... but this is just my opinion and observation.
 
I hate to ruin this thread but I wanted to echo what others have already said. As a pilot you need to educate yourself on which side of the issue candidates stand on.

The whole mentality that the Republican party lowers taxes and lets you keep what you earn just simply isn't true anymore. As a pilot, most likely (or hopefully) working under a union the choice should be fairly simple if your vote is based on what will be financially beneficial.

I spent the past four years studying economics. If I were a small business owner making 200-500k a year then I would probably vote differently.

The whole idea of giving money back to the business so they can reinvest and grow the economy is a crock of ########. How many CEOs make over a million a year? Are they giving money back to their workers or growing the economy? NO! They went and bought 2nd and 3rd homes inflating the housing market, making it beyond the reach of many. I am beginning to rant and getting red in the face, sorry.
Vote your profession!

Obama and Osama comparisons only prove extreme ignorance. A sad fact attesting to the education level of some in our country.
 
Ok I am headed down to the lavatory to start a thread on "politickn". I understand what you are saying, just want to keep this thread as much on what people made for edcuational purposes.

By the way, my CEO would just retire if it were not for the fact that he would no longer have free use of the company jet for whatever he wants (Usually to fly over the house in florida his wife lives at to get to his house in the bahamas where all his hoochies are).

I think it was Winston Churchill who said something about the best argument against democracy being a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.

It's only an increase on the top marginal rate back to what it was during the Clinton years. The rate never should have been reduced in the first place.

I'm a big fan of the flat tax rate. 15% for everything above a standard deduction, with a maximum amount.
