White working class voters

Is that code for racist/bigot? Hillary and the pundits keep saying that Obama is not winning this demographic and that’ll be a problem come the general election.

I believe in some social circles it's the definition.

If the shoe fits...

However, what Hillary says and what reality is are two different matters. She's acting like the lawyer for Charles Manson now. No defense too stupid to try.

Aren't like 99% of whites "working class"? At what salary are you no longer working class?

I prefer Hillary to Obama (and Edwards to both of them). So I guess I'm a racist?

This is the oldest news in Speakers Corner.
How many times will she obviously pander to racism while her apologists will deny it?

There was a thread earlier on how Bill Clinton reminded voters during the NC election that Obama is BLACK.

Then, there was a thread where they went to Mississippi and reminded voters that Obama is BLACK and you are WHITE voters.

Now, she states that WHITE voters are not voting for the BLACK candidate. She thinks they will vote for the WHITE woman.

Peggy Noonan also believes Clinton played the race card in her USA Today interview. "If John McCain said, ‘I got the white vote, baby!’ his candidacy would be over. And rising in highest indignation against him would be the old Democratic Party. To play the race card as Mrs. Clinton has, to highlight and encourage a sense that we are crudely divided as a nation, to make your argument a brute and cynical ‘the black guy can't win but the white girl can’ is -- well, so vulgar, so cynical, so cold, that once again a Clinton is making us turn off the television in case the children walk by.”

i'm proud to be of my voter classification. i fit the ethnicity, i'm not on welfare and i don't yet make enough that i'm paying 50% in taxes. but my taxes will probably be going up anyways when the socialist take over.

Do you think that taxes can stay below expenditures for ever and that the deficit will grow FOR EVER? Your taxes will go up regardless of who takes over because at some point the creditors will quit lending us their money.

Most W-2 people are in the 19% tax bracket.
...plus the 7.5% soc sec.
...plus the 7.5% that the company matches.

The company has to pay you 7.5% less up front.
But you only believe that you are paying 26.5%.

If you are self employed, you pay the 10% self-employment tax, plus the "company" 7.5%.

So, many self-employed people pay the 1099 rate...

19+7.5+7.5+10 = 44%

I've done both ways.

What 10% tax did you just make up? There's no 19% bracket either.

And it's 7.65% for each share of FICA up to 10x,000.

California throws in a .8% disability insurance, along with the 9.4% marginal rate.

This is not true, since there is no "self employer tax" - you just have to pay those other 7.5% of SS tax. So it should be 7.5 + 7.5 + 19; however since first 7.5 + 7.5 paid reduce your Fed adjusted gross income (unfortunately not state income), you're paying 19% from the rest, not from the total amount.

So in other words, bigots hold the balance of power in this country. Didn't Karl Rove use this fact to get Bush elected?

Usually, when you say "in other words" then the next bit should paraphrase the stuff you replied to.

(Point well taken.)

By extension then, bigots...

Anybody see the opening skit on SNL? Very funny poking of fun at Hillary.

Well, I'm white, working class and I'm voting. For Obama this fall. Because Heil Hillary would NEVER play the race card, she's "not" playing it by appealing to white working class voters. Especially those who would be happy to play the race card for her, because she would NEVER stoop to such a thing.

She apparently believes her darling white boys have also got over the idea of voting for a woman, because she is after all a white woman (though she would NEVER call attention to herself that way).

Probably is in some circles - those populated by cowards who support racial discrimination under the guise of affirmative action, won't admit that they're racists, and then attempt to project that image onto others. They'll be voting in hordes for the Democratic candidate this November. Granted, not all Democrats are racists, but those who use 'white working class voters' and like phrases certainly are and their candidate of choice and/or his/her sycophants will be blasting John McCain et al for being racist leading up to Nov in all likelihood. Hard to give anyone who supports racial discrimination for collegiate admission and attends a debate hosted by Al $harpton any credibility, but some appear to do so - on the left that is.
