Understanding McCain's Tax Rhetoric
This is my first blog post on TPM! I am hoping for some help on understanding McCain's position on Democratic tax hikes. It's my understanding of either Obama or Clintons proposed tax hikes that they are going to be on basically 10% of all American's those of us making more than enough money to live a good life. Is it me or is McCain just distorting the Democrats plan to fairly tax the very rich. Here is the quote from the McCain website that I found and wonder about.
"John McCain will make the Bush income and investment tax
cuts permanent, keeping income tax rates at their current level and
fighting the Democrats' plans for a crippling tax increase in 2011.
Left to their devices, Democrats will impose a massive $100 billion tax
hike, almost $700 per taxpayer every year." from http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/0b8e4db8-5b0c-459f-97ea-d7b542a78235.htm
