[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 499730, member: 546465"] I'm not voting for the party I belong to and I'm close to leaving the party. My federal income tax is less than previously. My state income tax was high. I had them pull out the maximum amount and I still had to pay in. My only reason in bringing this up was the fact that my state is ran by democrats which seem to love spending too much while making me (pretty poor person) pay for it. I feel welfare was a great idea along with disability pay, but again there is entirely too much abuse happening in the system costing all of us money. It's not easy living well at least that's the case where I'm located. I'll try my best to get a home but it's probably pretty unlikely that I will ever accomplish this in my area. If I'm unable to accomplish this here in CA, I may try a different area that hopefully will allow me enough pay to at least get some kind of shack that I can say is mine rather than renting my whole. My problem with kerry is he will say he's against abortion but say he has no right to place his views on another. The question becomes how far does he take this? It makes me wonder if he will ever impose any of his beliefs on what should be done or if he just plans on leaving everything up to his cabinet and congress or special interest groups and campaign contributors. As I said before I think kerry will win but maybe I'll end up liking him. I doubt it. Personally I think the Republican leadership is filled with idiots that don't know how to campaign. [/QUOTE]
