Does this look like a tax increase?



Don't belive McCain's scaremongering about Obama. McCain's Tax plan offers a much LOWER tax cut for 79 percent of Americans than Obama's according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. Read about it in the LA Times.

Which begs the question - we are in the midst of the most expensive war in world history, financed entirely on our children's credit cards. Despite Republican orthodoxy, what possible justification for a tax CUT can be made under these conditions? *

Why is is that the only thing the "cut tax and spend" Republican party has asked us to do to support this illegal war is to go shopping?

Hmmm...

* Yes, I know that tax cuts do spur the economy, but so does a balanced budget, just look at Bill Clinton's presidency, which created the largest peacetime expansion of the economy in US history.
