Again my neighbor won't vote for a Democrat
This time he says it's because he thinks Obama will raise his taxes. He has a Dental practice which he bought from the guy who retired, a pretty large established practice but was mismanaged, he's struggling to make it profitable. I know the Repubs are lying when they say Obama will raise taxes, but they also say over and over he's going to raise taxes on small businesses. Is that only if they make over 250,000? My husband says it's something to do with the payroll tax. I want to correct this guy if he's wrong, but I'm not good with this stuff. Can anyone explain a math idiot like me?
I don't understand why the sugary primitive is wasting time and hopes trying to convince a Republican to vote for Barry "Goldwater" Obama.
The sugary primitive, and all the other Obamaites and Obamaite primitives, have a lot of work to do, to convince the 50.2% of the Democrats who supported the worthier candidate, to vote for the official Democrat candidate, much less work on Republicans.

2. Obama will not raise any taxes on small business, including Payroll Taxes. This has been debunked
Only individuals who earn more than 250,00 will see an increase in income taxes. Everyone else will see a tax cut.
Here is Obama's article referencing FactCheck.org: http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/obamaandtaxes
I doubt your friend will listen anyway. He's already made up his mind and will be screwed by McBush.
Here is yet another FactCheck article debunking tax b.s. from McBush:

3. Tell your neighbor that if he is struggling now just imagine if McCain gets elected, tell him that more Americans with Dental insurance will lose their jobs because they have been outsourced, thus they won't be able to visit their local dentist (him).
Tell him when he shuts the doors to practice that last time, tell him he had a chance to save his business and others but he was toogullable to believe another Republicans lies.

6. I have a brother-n-law and 2 cousins in PA, and they will stamp out your neighbors vote anyway...
BTW.. You should tell him that if he really wanted to help the old man out, he'd do something about those dirty, creepy teeth of his.
McDud is either a closet smoker, closet tobacco chewer, or just has piss-poor dental hygiene. Whatever it is, his teeth are dirty, disgusting and putrid!
I dunno. franksolich has 27 cousins in Pennsylvania, ages 21-44, and they'll easily cancel out the votes of the relatives of the larissa primitive. Being ideologically-rigid conservatives, they're not too happy about John McCain, but considering the alternative, all of them plan to vote for John McCain.
So there.

7. With Universal Health Care your neighbor won't have to worry about providing health insurance to his employees

8. Others have provided links on the tax question - here's another piece of info for your neighbor: McCain does want to eliminate tax breaks for employers who provide insurance for their employees. Therefore, employer provided insurance will all but disappear - and so will your neighbor's business. Without insurance, most people won't go to the dentist unless they absolutely have to (e.g., their face is swollen to the size of an orange). Routine visits and non-emergency procedures will only be for the very rich.
I don't think it's a good idea for the Obamaites and the Obamaite primitives to work on Republicans.
The Obamaites and Obamaite primitives pissed off 50.2% of the Democrat party, and have a lot of fence-mending and reconciliation to do there. They can win without Republicans, but they can't win without Democrats (and all those big city political machines).
