It is unlawful to take a deduction on a tax return for any illegal payments. By definition it is illegal to make a payment to an illegal immigrant. Therefore any deduction relative to payments for illegal immigrants on a tax return are unlawful. If the IRS would just disallow any tax return taking expenses relative to illegal immigrants the farm owner/factories could not afford to make those payments and the need to ICE etc would go away. How much would be raised against the Tax Gap? But that wouldn’t be politically correct with the democrats would it?

Now the democrats are going to want to make the 12-20 million illegal immigrants Citizens. Just think then the returns won’t be against the law and the Nationwide Republican Party will be totally destroyed. And the democrats and their agenda for total socialism won’t be stopable.

The last person that campaigned in the Western Hempisphere for “A Change” was Fidel Castro in 1959. It was a democrat President when elected in 1960 that promised to the Cuban Freedom fighters that the US would provide air support for their mission in April, 1961 and then lied and didn’t do it and thousands of Cubans lost their lives and the World has had the ilk of Cuban Communism ever since. I believe the democrats really want nothing short of total socialism in the US.

The democrats believe that the liberal democrat agenda knows whats best for the populace and already teach in many school districts throughout the US that if the parents teach the children moral values the parents are wrong the school is correct and that the parents are just “old fashioned”

The democrats believe that there is nothing wrong with devising welfare systems that deliberately destroy the family to further their cause. Anyone knows the structures can not deny.

It is in Nancy Pelosi’s own Congressional district that they allow open homosexual sex acts right on the public streets during Folsom Street or Dore Alley festivals.

The democrat leadership is already trying to figure how the 401k’s can be dismantled and increased social security. The democrat leadership is already trying to close down any dissent by it’s “fairness doctrine” to remove the opposition from the airways.

Doesn’t sound like the beginnings of Cuba to you?

I am proud of this country because we were able to pull our selves together long enough to see a better future and brave enough to grab it. Instead of turning to the choice of fear and anger we chose to embrace diversity and hope. Instead of the same rich white man and his religious right we chose freedom to change…for all !!! Not just some. The majority spoke; loud and clear.

Good luck, Barack, there’s an awful lot depending on you.

First of all – as she has stated – in the very first paragraph and throughout the comments – Taxgirl did not choose her candidate based on emotion – but how wonderful for her that she is inspired by someone – and his message.

I believe that the one commenter has not taken the time to research and review – as she suggests – or she would know that Senator Obama has, as much as anyone aspiring to achieve the top level of the US Executive Branch can, laid out his plans for his administration. It’s all out there – his plans for the economy and home owners – the budget and deficit – health care – energy – taxes – the war in Iraq and the war on terror – for national service and responsibility — He has specific and viable plans – will they all be implemented? and if so when? We don’t know – and as he said last night he can’t do it alone – we all must work together to heal and support our country.

I also think that the commenter is a little confused as to what, where and who comprises the “me” generation – there is no “me” or “I” in Barack Obama’s plans – it’s all about the “us” and “we” – John McCain made a multitude of commercials criticizing the “we” mentality of Obama’s policy plans.

And yes, our forefathers did sit around thinking about themselves – Federalists and States Rights ideologists were bitterly opposed – but they were able to compromise for the greater good of their new nation – this is why we have an electoral college – a bicameral legislature – the Bill of Rights – and an elastic Constitution. Sure some remained rivals to the end – and there were procedural/social/moral elements that needed to evolve – but our basic structure of government assures that blog commenters, and blog writers can state their views freely – and that men and women from all backgrounds are able to vote and hold office. And it assures that no citizen is compelled to display his or her adoration and respect for our nation in a prescribed manner.

That is what our armed forces have fought to protect and defend – as do civilians – every day.
