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 de
ficit.')


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

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- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)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, and last but not
least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive20the
same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

Laminin

I have been seeing and hearing a lot about Louie Giglio and his sermon on laminin. Don’t run to pull out your bible and go to pull your concordance of the book shelf, because you will not find it in either of those places. Basically, laminin is a protein found in the "extra cellular matrix", the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs also called the "basement membrane". It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane. Laminin literally holds our skin, organs, and everything else in our body, in place. It is described as rebar of the human body it holds us all together.

Now, I know this doesn’t sound like exciting stuff, unless you are a molecular biologist, but there is more. You see, every Artist, designer or creator always leaves their mark on their master piece or creations and we are no different. Every living, breathing organism contains these laminin. Like a signature of sorts from a designer or creator. So, if you look at the SIGNATURE below you can see who our creator is.

Isn’t God Awesome!

God Bless
