NAPA, are you referring to yourself or someone else?  Brainwashed by class warfare (I think we both know)

Good grief we couldn't even get Reagan right and 49 other states did... No kidding. What does that tell you about the great voting minds of this state? I work with a lot of folks that hated Reagan. Don't get it, but there are a lot of them out there.

It makes sense for Obama to win MN. MN is full of middle class people who would typcially be better off with a Dem. in office. Really? Have you driven around Lake Minnetonka lately? How about any other lake or new housing that's going up? I know I can't afford to buy them and I'm not poor and probably just middle class. But most of that is all priced right out of my budet.

For one I am tired of the tax cuts only going to the rich. The republican theory that giving tax cuts to the rich and hoping the spend more money to boost the economy has proven yet again that the logic is flawed. It smells of the rich taking care of their own and watching out for their own good not the good of the country.
When is the last time you saw a middle class republican run for president. It is a prerequiste that they be worth millions. They are so far out of touch with the average american that it is shocking. How many homes does McCain own again? As soon as he can answer that question without having to look it up I might start listening to him again.
For the good of the country I will vote Obama. Another one jealous of the rich. Take responsibility for your own life and earn as much money as you want. This is America after all. Funny thing, got into this with my brother the other day. He chewed me out about taxing the rich more. He said how is it fair that I make 100k a year and another guy makes a million and we both get taxed 30% (which isn't true anyway). He went on to say that he had to pay 30k in taxes and only got to keep 70k last year. But the rich jerk, though he did pay 300k that same year, got too okeep 700k. My brother asked how that was fair to him. After I laughed my tail off for a minute I had to ask him how he was upset this guy paied 100 times in taxes what he did and he was complaining that it was unfair for him!! He was pretty ticked at me and started screaming about Reps this and Reps that. I don't even know what all he said cause I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard.

Sandmann most of that seems to be about punishing people for working hard and being successful. Jealousy and envy is probably the driving force.
You work for a health care facility right? Well you are gonna know how much time and effort Dr.s and other highly paid professional staff put in to make their money. A 40 hour week is just the beginning not to mention continuing education etc to maintain licenses to practice. Seeing these people work from 6:30 am to 6 pm every night not to mention being on call(and getting those emergency calls) and working weekends, I have said on several occasions if that is the price of success, I guess I don't want to pay the price. I can't see any reason to tax someone who has paid such a large price to make their $$ that they should have to keep paying a higher percentage in taxes.

I've seen a lot first hand. People don't take that all into account, they just want a piece of it all the time.
