Republican Myth: Obama will raise your taxes. TRUTH: Obama will LOWER your taxes.

Feeling: emotionless

McCain and Palin have frequently said on the campaign trail that Obama will raise taxes for the average American. Despite the fact this is an outright lie, they have repeated it again and again. What's to stop the truth from getting in the way of an effective lie? Here's the TRUTH: click text

Unless you are already in the top 1%, you will see some sort of tax relief. The lowest tax brackets will see the most relief. This would be a godsend to many struggling families in these trying economic times. McCain's tax cuts, however, would be heavily skewed towards the fat cats who have already been raking it in under Bush.

For the past seven years, the wealthy have done pretty damn well for themselves. I think it's high time that the little people had an opportunity to get their share of the pie.

Don't believe the lies of McCain-Palin. What they do not want you to know is that for the average American, Obama's plan is FAR BETTER.

If you think the rich deserve a better tax cut than you and me, by all means, vote for McCain. Me? I'd rather see some of that money come to myself and my family.

wow. i could've just written it that way & saved myself a half-hour of typing. ;)
that's a great way to put it, at any rate.
a tax decrease for the wealthiest groups in this country is completely absurd. & those people might bitch about obama's tax increase, but let's be realistic: they definitely have more than enough money to throw round; losing a few thousand is nothing to cry about when they've got millions to waste every year.
