The issue which you completely ignore is that of McCain's hypocrisy in that he attacks Obama as being an elitist and out of touch w/ the common folk and their problems in life. It turns out that John Sydney and Cindy McCain live a far more lavish lifestyle and are truly incapable of comprehending the difficulties of life for us in the lower classes. He accuses his opponent of the very thing that he is guilty of himself.
You obviously also do not know anything about the tax proposals of either candidate. From everything I have read from economic analysts in national publications and on-line, Obama will raise taxes on everyone making above $250,000 a year and decrease taxes on the middle and lower classes. He will also raise taxes on corporations. Do you realize that following current tax codes, over half of US corporations and 68% of foreign owned corporations in the USA do not pay ANY TAXES. Zero, zilch, nada, not a penny!!! The combined gross value of these corporations total in the trillions.
McCain, however, wants to make permanent the "temporary" tax cuts that the rich have received from Bush and increase tax breaks for corporations. Obama would let these tax benefits to the rich die and revert back to the pre-Bush status. McCain calls this a tax increase when it is simply a return to the previous status quo.
Besides, if your income is below $250000, you would benefit from Obama and should be voting for him. You should be voting for McCain only if your income is above $250000.
Oh, and one more detail, McCain says he can cut taxes, continue the Iraq War, and balance the budget. That is impossible and not logical at all.
