1. this early in the race, this result means nothing
2. as al gore could tell you, the candidate that garners the most votes in the election may not be necessarily be the winner (it's the electoral college that matters)

i was watching a report on how polls are skewed against young people, like you and me, who only have cell phones. Also, i'm pretty sure that it is illegal to cold call cell phones, which isn't the case for landlines. if the poll was an internet research poll obama would be destroying mccain.

I think under Obama, the rich will pay what they are meant to pay. The middle class actually pays a higher percentage of their income in taxes than do the upper class.
What do you mean "what they are meant to pay?" wtf is that? Who gets to decide something like that? Is there an arbitrary "meant-to-pay-o-meter" that I don't know about? I believe we are all meant to pay as little as possible since our money belongs to us, it is not distributed to us from some almighty government.

I was being funny but my point is valid. I don't think pollsters are allowed to cold call cell phones which leaves them with only calling people who have a phone at their house.

The 35% tax bracket really is a farce because it does not mention the fact that the wealthiest 1% of country makes the majority of their income from unrealized capital gains. They also have numerous tax breaks they take advantage of, of which the middle class can't take advantage of, because the majority of their income is derived from simple salary/wage work..
How do you explain this...?
Warren Buffet is certainly entitled to his opinion that he feels he doesn't pay enough. That's easy to say when you wipe your ass with Benjamins. I don't understand peoples' notions that because people are rich, they should always be forced to pay higher percentages. What does that do for the poor and middle class people, other than make them feel good to see the rich getting taken? Dice it up all you want man... the fact is the top 1% of earners pay 40% of the taxes, and the top 10% pay 71% of them. The richest top percentage has increasingly been paying a bigger and bigger share. They are about 15% of the nations total income, and have gone from paying 25% of the taxes to 71% in 18 years. Having tax breaks for them are necessary because without it, the rich will not invest their money which will stagnate the economy and stunt job creation.
