Obama/Biden: Last week on the Today Show, Joe Biden stated anyone making over $250,000 a year needs to step up and be patriotic by paying more taxes. Interestingly, that includes all the businesses making more that $250,000 who employs 85% of the American work force. You don’t think that will affect the workers?

Non-biased source:

Much of the top is false. Some is speculation, not fact. See http://www.ontheissues.org/ for each candidates’ positions. Use your brains, people.

While you describe the top half as being Moral issues, (and I’d like to applaud you for recognizing that there is indeed moral and immoral behavior), one must recognize those too are historical facts about each candidates’ history, record and experience.

Finally, I find it quite entertaining that any news source that drifts away from the extreme left is considered ‘FAUX’ by Obamaphiles.

So, to avoid Obamageden, one must certainly for McCain.

Obama and McCain Tax Proposals

According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama’s plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 – a difference of nearly $1 million.
