Two times, on March 14, 2008 and June 4, 2008, in the Democratic budget resolution, he voted to raise taxes on people making just $42,000 per year. He even said at the time that this vote for higher taxes on the middle class was 'getting our nation's priorities back on track,'" the Republican said.

That's not in his current plan, so it's irrelevant.

That's not in his current plan, so it's irrelevant.

It also would've raised taxes on a single person payer (making $42,000) a whopping $15 a year.

McMeFirst always puts the country first, never plays lying politics during a national crisis.

McCain is pulling out all the stops.

i bet the house Repugs conspired with McMeFirst to vote it down as McSenile could try to trash HUSSEIN as the cause of the depression.

Old Sick Tired Wooden McAssHole is a despicable jackass with no principles.

His own deregulation obssession is a causative as anybody else, plus Gramm killing Glass Steagal an dmaking swaps outside of regulations.

Good thing McCain stopped campaigning and went to DC to get the bailout done...

Well the problem is he has no "current" plan. It changes constantly. Shit, he was for a 28% capital gains tax and fucking O'Reilly talked him down to 20% in about 30 seconds.

You're a fucking idiot. Go have some more kool aide.

Taxes are the wrong argument for McCain right now, because Obama is promising a tax cut to the vast majority of tax-paying citizens.

The way he needs to attack it is the total spending package. He should ask Obama point-blank how he logically reconciles $800B worth of new spending to coincide with a tax cut for the middle class AND inheriting potentially another $700B worth of national debt.

I see no mathematical way he can carry out his social agenda, give the majority of tax payers a tax cut and not leave this country with an even bigger national debt for the next generation to take care of.

Contrast that with John McCain who wants to cut spending and laid out his priority plain and simple if required to slash his economic plan...defense and veteran affairs.

Raising Taxes is the same as raising interest rates. Yes it will cause a slow down economy but the alternative to do nothing is worse. Pay me now or pay me later.

[ChumpDumper]

You're a fucking idiot. Go have some more kool aide.You mad?

Yes.

The tax increase ducks mentioned has nothing to do with what is happening now, and no amount of whining from you will change that.

I bet McCain said the same thing in 1992 trying to dissuade people from voting for Clinton.
Then we had 8 years in a row of shrinking yearly deficits, a yearly surplus for the first time in decades, and the DJIA quadrupling. Compare that with the last 8 years.
