[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama (D–Ill.) has unveiled his economic plan of raising taxes on the successful. His plan would boost the top marginal rate to well over 55 percent—before the inclusion of state and local taxes—resulting in many individuals seeing their marginal tax rate double. The consequences of this policy would be a return to the bad old days of tax avoidance, with taxpayers disguising personal income as business income or capital gains and the migration of capital from the United States to abroad[/QUOTE]Firstly, that's an incredibly right-leaning article, secondly consider this: The Bush administration has eliminated 75% of the IRS' staff that prosecute and recover unpaid taxes from the most wealthy 1% of companies and indivuals. They were re-assigned to presue middle and lower-class people behind in their taxes. Over half of all owed taxes come from the most wealthy 10% and from large corporations- the same people most likely to donate to a political campaign. Not only is this horribly (in fact criminally) wrong, it clearly shows how the "trickle-down" economics does not, and never has worked. This policy of self-policing corporations supposedly taking their huge profits and re-investing in the American infrastructure by creating new and better paying jobs is a bad joke when job outsourcing is at an all-time high- as the decade-high unemployment rate clearly shows. As to McCain: He refers to his time a a P.O.W. as much as Bush does 9/11. It's a dodge on real issues that the repblicans cant debate on due to their poor record in, well, [i]everything[/i]. As much as I respect McCain's military service, he's not talking about the issues- or even anything that's happened IN MY FUCKING LIFETIME! Seriously- being tortured does [i] NOT[/i] make a person presidential material- particulraly when he's flipped on the issue of waterboarding to side with Bush and his cronies. If he wanted to be a "maverick" he should have stuck to his guns on the immorality of torture- even if it cost him the nomination. [/QB][/QUOTE]
