Gettin' them poor folk to vote

Falling behind Hill-Dog the Obaminator wants to steal my money to get the poor vote, while showing once again that so far as Democrats are concerned poor people are little children who can't possibly be held responsible for their actions (like buying a house they could never afford) and the American Dreams means never having to say you're sorry.

clipped from online.wsj.com Obama wants to give 150 million working Americans a $500 tax credit, expand relief for homeowners, eliminate income taxes for seniors making less than $50,000 and simplify tax returns so millions of Americans can file in less than five minutes. Obama said more Americans who own their homes should get relief from mortgage payments. The current mortgage interest deduction only goes to those who itemize their taxes, while he would create a universal mortgage credit of 10% of interest payments that the campaign says would benefit an additional 10 million homeowners. Obama's campaign said he would pay for his proposals by closing corporate-tax loopholes, fighting international tax havens and raising the top rate on capital gains and dividends. The Illinois senator told Wall Street investors that they need to reappraise values that focus on their own gains at the expense of struggling Americans.

Al-Qaeda Feels the Subprime Burn

Nobody is safe from subprime contagion, not even terrorists who took out second mortgages on their caves to pay for new goats, chickens and ingredients for IUDs, as Osama bin Laden said he felt his minions' suffering from high rates in a video released September 7th. Never mind that interest is forbidden and there are no late payments under the Shariah law of Islamic banking - George Bush has found a way to tax the Taliban.

Global warming is also a problem for the struggling cells as packs of C4 strapped around the torso aren't exactly breathable and donkeys are known to produce more toxic emissions than any infidel's Hummer.

Despite his condolences the dapper dictator appeared somewhat insincere addressing the problem of poverty with his slick new beardcut and die job that screamed Redken 5th Ave. In fact my intel tells me Osama may not be hiding in Afghani mountains after all, but staying with his new life partner and John Edwards' stylist, Joseph "bin Fabulous" Torrenueva.

Gohel, Director of International Security at the London-based Asia Pacific Foundation, said. ``Bin Laden appeared to have a trimmed and dyed beard, which ran to counter reports that he is gravely ill from kidney disease, or holed up in a cave and cut off from the outside world,'' Gohel said in an e-mailed statement.
