you need to be clearer and more on point with your posts. All elections in the United states are important and some would say the odd number year elections ("Off Year")are often more important for your quality of life then the Presidential or Congressional elections as those who will be elected elected this year (your local elected officials) make the laws/zoning/ordinances that effect your day to day life.

Please do not trivialize the United States of America election process no matter how much you support Dorothy Vislosky

When did I "trivialize the United States of America election process"?

But I agree, "Off year" or I suppose you could say Local or municipal elections are more likely to affect you day to day life. However these elections usually have the lowest voter turnouts.


then ............... than?

Forthcoming ‘Erotic’ Novel Features Barack and Michelle Obama

http://www.nationalreview...-sale-now-eliana-johnson#
Surely American literature will reach new heights with the publication of GuestHouse Games, in which the Obamas, “alone in their isolated beachfront guesthouse in the tropical paradise of Kailua, Hawaii,” are “drawn into the ancient Hawaiian spiritual world and into the exploration of their own deepest and most forbidden desires.”

Obama Seeking to End Business Tax Breaks in New Term

As Obama begins a second term and another set of fiscal negotiations with Congress, he’ll work from a list of first-term tax-policy leftovers that target breaks for top earners and corporations. These include the tax benefits for oil and gas companies he often criticizes.

The Payroll Tax and Obama’s Next Fight

If you have a pre-tax income of $50,000 per year, the fiscal-cliff deal means that you will pay about a thousand dollars more in payroll taxes in 2013. If your income is $111,000, you will pay about two thousand two hundred dollars more.

Obama supporters shocked, angry at new tax increases

“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

I like to compare the two countries, to show Canadians that we are way overtaxed, and we should demand less services, less spending and lower taxes from all levels of governments.

Some Canadians feel fine with current "Equalization" formula, the Billion plus tax dollars that we pour into the CBC every year and the benefits handed to refugees that long time taxpaying Canadians don't even receive.

You Know That New 3.8% Medicare Tax? Double It

For nearly three years Republicans have accused Democrats of double counting the new Medicare tax. But it wasn’t the accounting that was doubled so much as the tax obligation. What Democrats did was to effectively force Americans to pay the new Medicare tax twice: The wealthy pay it now and everyone will pay some portion of it later.

Tax Freedom Day is June 11, one day later than last year as Canadians work longer to pay taxes

Release Date: June 11, 2012

VANCOUVER, BC—Monday, June 11 is Tax Freedom Day, the day Canadians have finally earned enough money to pay all the taxes they owe to all levels of government for the year, according to the Fraser Institute’s annual calculations.

Tax Freedom Day arrives one day later than in 2011, when it fell on June 10.

"This underscores a worrying trend across the country of governments increasing taxes," said Charles Lammam, Fraser Institute associate director of tax and budget policy and co-author of Canadians Celebrate Tax Freedom Day on June 11, 2012.

Tax Freedom Day Arrives on April 17th, 2012

Tax Freedom Day® 2012 arrives on April 17 this year, four days later than last year due to higher federal income and corporate tax collections. That means Americans will work 107 days into the year, from January 1 to April 17, to earn enough money to pay this year’s combined 29.2% federal, state, and local tax bill.
