Went from left to right then to the middle when I've realized everyone on either ends are batshit insane.

When I was in early college and made no money I was liberal, when I entered the working world and brought in a paycheck I quickly changed to Republican.

I've considered this but even after graduating college and getting a salaried job, I am still in one of the income brackets where Obama's proposed tax cuts would be greater than McCain's.

But that only applies to income tax, not other taxes, and besides... those are only the predictions based on what the candidates have been saying. What ends up getting done is likely to be very different depending on what Congress is willing to do, and that's only assuming the eventual President pushes to have his current plan enacted without changing anything (also unlikely).

AFAIK Obama's plan would have you paying less income tax if you're making under about $111k a year.

"When all is said and done, more is said then done."

I dont affiliate myself to a party, but libertarian would be the closest to what im for.

I registered Democrat just to vote in NYS Democratic Primaries. Beyond that, I don't affiliate with any specific ideology as it is not a 'one size fits all' type of problem.

I don't need a political party to define or tell me what to believe in.
