It is not as simple as rich vote republican poor vote democrat. I grew up in a very rich suburb of NYC and there were many Democrats who make deep 6 figures in personal salaries.

The people with money voting democrat are usually concerned about religious freedoms and a little thing called the constitution.

There are many things I do not like about democrats. I have never taken a hand out and don?t believe in giving them but look at our options. We only really have 2 choices in November and we need to choose the best one for our industry.

Also to say that if you make 1mill a year you need to be republican is ridiculous. Look at what you loose if they win. More and more legislation making this business harder. Is it worth it to save even 10% on your taxes if you have to hire an entire staff to manage the new 2257 regulations. The current ones are easy enough to manage but the proposed changes will only continue to grow. Not to mention the loss of traffic from gallery builders if they can not display hardcore without id's.

how much would it cost to defend a typo or error in your records before a court? Certainly more then your taxes will increase. How much would it cost if the American public gets gun shy of buying porn because they are afraid the gov't will come after them?

They have already raised the fines and jail times associated with 2257 compliance. They have set up a division that has 1 purpose and that is to inspect records. How long before they nock on your door and you have to stop updating your site or running your business to show the gov't your being a good little boy and following the rules? Today it is graphic depictions how long before showing pink is graphic? Were does it stop?

So many big guys say oh well this will just weed out the week and small mom and pops. Is that what people really want? Look at the stats posted by so many affiliates in the last week. After the top 20 or so many affiliates are only earning a few hundred a month. Losing 200 affiliates earning 400 a month is a huge hit to most programs. Everyone wants to say we don?t need the little guy but the top 100 lists prove the exact opposite. This industry was built on the mom and pop. Many of the huge programs started as a side project or small venture back in the mid 90's and have grown to huge corporations.

If your concerned about protecting your finances there should be no question deal with whatever tax increases come in exchange for being allowed to run the types of sites we all do. I much rather spend 10's of thousands in taxes to protect millions in earnings.

I?m voting Kerry because he will let us run our business. If bush wins it will be 4 more years of not sleeping at night worrying about who is going to be the program they decide to make an example of.
