Is 0.1% "a lot"?
LOL! How much do you and your wife earn? $179K/yr???? Now, 'quote' us some more realistic numbers. Married joint, our income is more than twice that quote. And since Hilliary's tax rates go up exponentially, my income tax rate is going to increase a LOT more than .1%. That's only Federal income tax.

... and let's not forget all of those other pesky taxes she's proposing - cap gains, net investment income tax of 3.8%, and business tax increases (those are simply passed on to the end user).

Toss in energy taxes - we all know that's coming - and a bunch of other junk tax increases to raise revenue to pay for more socialist programs.

Speaking of tax avoidance scams, Warren Buffett claims his AGI last year was $11 million. The guy's net worth is north of $65 billion. He totally abuses the tax code, yet has the gall to call out Trump (who also abuses the tax code) because Buffett abuses a different loophole in the tax code.

They're all a bunch of crooked hypocrites. Trump, Clinton, Buffett, the whole lot of them. It's idiocy to endorse either of them; Hilliary and Trump are megalomaniac serial liars.

I don't blame the mega rich for not paying taxes... I blame the politicians that sold their souls to allow these loopholes to exist. The fact that Trump, Clinton, Buffer, etc are taking all their legal deductions doesn't make them criminals. Do you take all your tax credits? I do.

Let me make this simple for you.

Buffett calling out Trump for his taxes is like me calling you out for using the capital loss carryforward provision in the tax code to lower your taxes while I'm using the mortgage interest deduction to lower my taxes. Buffett's a hypocrite for doing that - or do you really think his income for 2015 was $11 million?

Kaine: Clinton Wants To Increase The Payroll Tax | The Daily Caller

The payroll tax funds social programs and is where they will get the money from most of us, remember you only see half the deduction (7.6%) taken out of your check, the company "pays" the other half but not really.

Money aside she is the most corrupt immoral person this country has ever seen run for the office. That is reason enough for anyone with a conscious not to vote for her.

You are wrong.

NAFTA was for Bill Clinton what Open Skies and NAI is for Hillary Clinton.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton don't understand or care about the American worker.

NAFTA was a shafta for both US manufacturing and North American shipping of Goods. NAI will be a screw job for Commercial US aviation and our careers.


You are playing checkers my friend.....The ME3 are playing chess.

They're both dirtbags. If UAL's MEC wants to endorse one of them, fine. I'll use my ALPA PAC money for something else. Unless a politician is clearly in the pilots' corner with a proven track record, I don't want my money to go to any politician of either party.

I disagree with you that it's in my best interest to endorse Hilliary. How did her husband work out for American pilots when they went on strike? Why is NAI even an issue with a Democratic President in office for the last 8 years? To say that one political party is better for pilots than the other is not borne out by history.

Cheap fossil fuels are what's good for pilots and that's going to be under attack from Dems with increased taxes and restrictions.

You are incorrect. They are doing this so she can play the victim card.

If they did nothing Trump wins easily. By them putting this stuff out it helps her and her special interests groups claim she is just another female victim. The only other alternative is the Chinese due to their sophistication, but they lack the connections to do this quietly. It could be the North Koreans, but they lack the persistence. NK is quick in and quick out from a cyber security perspective.

The Russians Love Hillary, so they will use backdoor diplomacy to influence her selection. They own her decision making process and her advisors. They know what brand of toilet paper she will buy before she buys it.

Trump is the wild card. In the history of Russian intelligence, they only win (drive results) when they know what their adversary is going to do. With Trump, they don't know. He's too unpredictable. They do know they stand more to gain with Hillary for two reasons: They know Bill and his positions, and they know everything there is to know about Hillary due to her poor security protocols.

If you believe that....you haven't been paying attention during the last 7 years.
