    FTA:
    In their more candid moments, McCain’s supporters admit that he is doubling down on Bush’s tax policies. In May, House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) said that McCain’s “tax policies” would “be in effect a third Bush term.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told ABC News in June that McCain’s policies would “absolutely” be an “extension” and “enhancement” of Bush’s.

      I was listening to a news report about some study that sliced and diced the two candidates tax plans.

      In Obama's plan, 80% of the nation would pay LESS on taxes.

      In McCain's plan, 20% would pay less taxes ... the Super Wealthy.


      McCain is sticking by this, even though it's simply More of the Same Trickle Down Economic Ideologic Theory that has been debunked EVEN BY THOSE WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! ! ! (Namely Bush Number One.)

      The astonishing thing is .... MILLIONS of Americans will fall for this. The Middle Class .... holding on to the American Dream of living in a comfortable home and sending their kids to college are DESPERATE for relief.

      They look at McCain and they think ... "Well, Johnny Shapeshifter says Obama is going to cost us money ... and Johnny Shapeshifter says that POSSIBLY .... if we pray and always vote Republican .... they promise that a little bit of fairness MIGHT POSSIBLY Trickle Down our way so we can send our kids to college .... as long as none of us gets sick."

      It's so pathetic. ... It's so sad. ... Nothing has EVER Trickled Down. ... It has NEVER HAPPENED ... and it NEVER WILL happen!

      When, oh when are Americans going to understand that the Super Rich have their hands in Washington DC's pockets ... they help write the ding dang finance laws ... ! ! !

      Look, McCain is simply building upon all the talking points of George W. Bush to get elected. It worked for GW .... Johnny Shapeshifter wants it to work for him.

      On the other hand, Obama is building upon a lifetime of helping Middle Class Americans in the city of Chicago and in the State of Illinois .... and once a Senator .... all of us ... and our children fighting in Iraq.

      But be prepared ... my fellow Christian Conservatives will say 'all Obama wants is Transfer of Wealth'.

      Well ... the obvious answer is THERE ALREADY IS A TRANSFER OF WEALTH GOING ON!

      The Bush Administration has been transferring wealth FROM the Middle Class TO the Super Rich for 8 years!

      -----------------------------------------------------------------

      Question:
      What do Republicans / Neo-Cons stand for?

      Answer:
      Welfare for the Wealthy and Subsidies for Corporations.

        You are right. Voodoo economics has not worked. It has been tried and tested for a total of about 20 years. It just does not work. Here are some charts that show this.

            I read somewhere about all the folks west of the Mississippi.
            It seems that every cent of their income tax is going towards paying interest on the dept.
            That was a few years ago.

            Ooops!

            It's all right there in the story that btv was kind enough to submit.

            Thanks!

            I hope Americans begin to understand the differences between these two candidates.

            The tax plan of Barack Obama is very similar to the tax plan of Bill Clinton ... when our nation created 22 MILLION jobs.

            The tax plan of Johnny Shapeshifter is very similar to George W. Bush .... when our nation created 5 Million jobs.

            Trickle Down Economics DOES NOT WORK!


            Hopefully, enough Patriotic Americans will step forward and put an end to the Moral and Economic Travesty known (laughably) as Trickle Down Economics.

            ROTFLMAO
            Obama's plan 80% of the nation would pay less taxes. What a crock. Who is goint to pay for all of those programs that he intends to pass. Either the deficit will go out of site or they will try to tax the top 80% at 100% and watch the tax revenues dry up. This is a very liberal rag and a bunch of liberals are talking about how great it is.

            What a group.

              Now wait a minute Endo .... you never voiced any concern about who is going to pay for GW's MASSIVE DEFICIT SPENDING.

              As a Christian Conservative, I would think you would be UTTERLY DISGUSTED that George W. BLATANTLY LIED to you about being a Fiscal Conservative.

              Look ... all ANY president has to do is spend LITTLE less than the SPENDINGEST ADMINISTRATION OF ALL TIME .... and they can afford Health Care AND Medicare .... WITHOUT having to borrow TRILLIONS from the Communists in China.
