    Let me start by saying I heard some people talking and I do not know if this is true or not.

    Basicly what I heard is Obama wants to tax employees for any benefit or encentives that they receive from their job. Like insurance, vaction days, uniforms, company car, ect... Does anyone know more about this. If its true or not?

    Not trying to get anything started. This time of year we all hear alot of things and I'm curious.

    You heard wrong. That's in no proposition Obama has submitted or projected for the future.

    He's lowered taxes for 98% of Americans.

    Sounds like the kind of thing you would hear in a chain email. You are right to fact check it. I call shenanigans.

    Yearly and vacation bonuses already get taxed, probably want to hear specifics but wouldn't be surprised or miffed if other things did as well.

    Sounds like another Republican lie in an attempt to keep Obama from getting elected. There is no truth to it at all.

    I heard Romney wanted to give $50,000 to every one over 50, that the United States had a 5% income tax in 1920 and the highest standard of living in the world, and we didn't have to press 1 for English.

    Is all that stuff not taxed in the US? It certainly is in Germany...

    Is this how we start threads now? Spouting off "what we hear" without any effort on diligence?

    Even basso posts ****ty links that he reads elsewhere. The bar is already low enough.
