Dear Mr. Obama,

Now that America is celebrating the arrival of change, I was wondering if you could please make haunted house tickets tax-deductible, or perhaps provide some sort of government subsidy that allows haunted houses to make all of their tickets cost $1. If it's not too much trouble, please do this before October 1, 2009. Thank you.

Best regards,
Shade

We also need subsidies for people purchasing Halloween props or materials to build haunts/props. I spent so damn much this year, I could use a little relief.

Unfortunately Rob, I don&#39;t see any tax breaks on too much in the immediate future. I&#39;ve been wrong before, but probably not this time.

You&#39;re right, we have trillions in debt to start paying off after January 20th.

Tye,

The October Lounge is not a place to gloat :)

Don&#39;t worry we&#39;ll have high enough taxes now to pay that bad boy down, we just won&#39;t have economic growth to worry about, growth is hard to handle you know.

I wouldn&#39;t worry about taxes unless you make over $200,000 individually or $250,000 family. And if you&#39;re making that much, you shouldn&#39;t be worrying about money at all.

Amen to that! If I was making that kind of money I&#39;d be far more dangerous than I am now!

Allright, allright, before this conversation gets too political, I think everyone is just making snide comments, let&#39;s keep it that way, and avoid any blowouts!

So here&#39;s another, IF it&#39;s only those individuals making over 200,000, what&#39;s the reasoning? Why is that justified? Shouldn&#39;t just be proportionate, across the board?

So bringing this back on topic of haunt related discussions, next year we&#39;re changing our pricing structure, the more you make the more you pay! We had several professional athelete&#39;s come through this year, I&#39;d love to see the ticket booth say, based on your yearly income, your admission tonight is $5,798 aren&#39;t you glad you&#39;re so successful?

Just kidding on all of the above.

Guess it&#39;s no real secret which way I was voting this year, but in the end, as with many americans, I&#39;m anticipating the change that&#39;s coming, whether I agree with it or not, something needs to be done, so let&#39;s get on with it and see how everything shakes out. There&#39;s excitement in the air, kinda like in September :)

I like that Chris....Based on your income, your admission is.......just charge a percentage of their annual income. That means if I went through right now, I&#39;d go for free!!! YIPPEE!!!

That&#39;s pretty funny. My wife and I had a good laugh about this on the way into town this morning. She said, "Bring your check stubs, people. Bring your check stubs."

I can just see this unfolding at the ticket booth. "Did you bring an income verification letter from your employer? No? Well, you&#39;ve indicated you have an annual income of only $2,000, but I saw that limo that you and your friends just arrived in. Do you have other income you&#39;re not reporting? No? Well, something doesn&#39;t add up here. I&#39;m afraid we&#39;re going to need to see your last three years of federal income taxes so we can figure out how much your haunted house ticket should cost. Next?"
