I won't discuss any other issues until you drop the idea and admit that Obama has not changed his tax plan. Until then, you're nothing more than a liar.

I don't know about the conversation you had with the poster you mentioned but Obama's tax plan has changed numerous times especially the cutoff point regarding where the supposed tax cuts will end.
Obama's ticket & Obama advisors have gone from 250,000 to 200,000 to 150,000 and then 120,000. Sounds like a change to me. Also, let's not forget that Obama voted 1 or 2 years ago for a resolution to raise taxes for people making 42,000.
Bottom line is that IF you believe Obama will cut your taxes then you are deluding yourself and I am talking about everyone regardless of your income. There is no way Obama can provide the funding for his dramatic increase in government and spending without raising everyone's taxes.
Unfortunately it's not just income taxes. He will raise all sorts of other taxes which also affects everyone like social security taxes, fica and capital gains taxes.
Also, don't forget that Obama will let the Bush tax cuts expire. Once this expires, your taxes will go up even more. The Bush tax cuts affected all citizens so everyone will have yet another tax increase.

Can you source that? Last time I checked, the $120,000 quote wasn't from Obama. It was a slip by someone who isn't even part of the Obama camp.
The $200,000 mark is the cut off for TAX BREAKS. The $250,000 mark is the cut off for TAX HIKES.
No change there...
(I haven't heard anything about the $150,000 one)

ELECTION 2008
Obama's tax-cut threshold shrinking?
Confusion abounds as voters hear $250,000, $200,000, now $150,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new video advertisement released by the Obama campaign says the candidate's promised tax cuts are for citizens making less than $200,000 a year, not the widely reported figure of $250,000.
Adding to the confusion, Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, said in an interview yesterday the cuts are for even fewer people, limited to incomes of $150,000 or less.
Depending on the source of information, just who will have their taxes raised and who will have them cut under Obama's plan varies.
The campaign's homepage, for example, accessed today, reads, "Obama said he wanted to give a tax break to all families making under $250,000 per year, which he said was 95 percent of American workers."
Yet in the "Defining Moment" ad released on YouTube last week and viewable below, Obama says the tax cut "for 95 percent of working Americans" is only for those who make less than $200,000 per year.
According to the 2006 IRS statistics published by the National Taxpayers Union, "95 percent of working Americans" only includes those making less than $153,542 per year
The state's Department of Health director on Friday released a statement verifying the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama birth certificate.
The state has received multiple requests for a copy of Obama's birth certificate. State law does not allow officials to release the birth certificate of a person to someone outside of the family.
"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said.
Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama's U.S. citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.
