Karl Rove himself admits McCain has gone too far

2.) Wrong. McCain primarily supports tax cuts for the wealthy. If you make > $250,000 then yes McCain will save you more money, but for the vast majority of Americans we save more money with Obama. AND McCain wants to tax your health care benefits, which Obama is not going to do. As far as taxes go, Obama saves me more money than McCain in the tax bracket I am in.

McCain supports reducing the corporate tax, not individual tax. Has has stated that he will keep the current top income tax rate, and the 15% capital gains tax rate, but does want to "phase-out" the broken Alternative Minimum Tax system that does covers a few income methods not covered by normal tax, but also ends up double taxing and generally screwing over the people forced to pay it, which should be 20-25% of taxpayers by 2010 according to the CBO.

He wants to lower the tax rates on everyone except that top bracket.

McCain apparently wants to tax the employer share of benefits, but also grant a $5k credit to cover those (which just seems weird to me).

A lot of people will indeed be better off tax-wise with Obama's plan than McCain's (confirmed by numerous fact checking organizations), but you should at least be accurate with McCain's proposal and realize that many people see a better economic impact from McCain's proposals that would offset the slight savings they'd get from Obama's plan.

Rove is doing the framing here, framing HUSSEIN as bad a liar as McWorse.
