CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN - 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA - 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN - 15% (no change)
OBAMA - 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN - (no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250
OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA - Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet.
New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)
New taxes on retirement accounts
New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

It's speculated that she is against illegal-immigration and wants to close the borders, but has not said anything about her stance because it contradicts McCain's open borders policy. On 09/04/2008, Laura Ingrahm stated that Palin personally told her that she is against open-borders and thinks we need to close the borders, however this information from Laura Ingrahm cannot be verified.

On Sarah Palin's support of AIPAC
I don't think Palin is an evil jew minion for AIPAC, she's just a little bit misguided. She's like every other American who are brainwashed to think it's our job to support Israel, and that they are just a peaceful friendly state trying to coexist in the middle east.
Keep in mind, Sarah Palin has no Washington political experience (like most Americans). She doesn't yet know what things are like down in Washington, she doesn't know how the Jews run the show. I have a feeling when she's finally in Washington, and sees how things really are, her opinions on AIPAC will change.
To quote Ron Paul (as an example of how Washington politics are so different than other places, like Alaska):
"The statement earlier made that we all went to Washington to change Washington, Washington changed us. I don't think that applies to me. Washington did not change me. I would have liked to have changed Washington." ~ Ron Paul
