John McCain on Tax Day…

Today, April 15th, marks the deadline when all Americans must file their income taxes. While many of us are aggravated and displeased when we see exactly how much of our hard-earned money goes to the federal government - if one of my Democratic opponents is elected in November, you can be certain your tax rate will increase across the board.
When we elect our next president in November, we will make a clear statement about the direction we want to take our economy and our tax system. As I have said before, this election will present Americans with a clear choice between my vision for our country and that of my Democratic opponents.
I believe today, as I have always believed, in small government, fiscal discipline and low taxes. I believe that tax cuts work best when accompanied by lower spending. And I make the promise to you that if elected president, I plan to make the present tax cuts permanent, lower corporate rates from 35% to 25% and end the Alternative Minimum Tax, which will affect millions of middle class families.
…
There is a lot at stake in this election. If either of my Democratic opponents, Senators Clinton or Obama is elected, they have made it perfectly clear they plan to raise your taxes.
Senators Clinton and Obama have called for higher income taxes, higher social security taxes, higher investment taxes and higher corporate taxes. They have both already laid out plans to pass record-setting tax increases.

Mr McCain has conveniently forgot the fact that HE oppsed Bush’s tax cuts and as far as I know, will STILL repeal them. Hard to tell since he is acting like his friend and possible future running mate, john flipper kerry.
Rohmney knew where McCain stood on taxes
“McCain was one of two Republican senators to vote against a $1.35 trillion tax cut that Bush proposed in 2001. McCain also voted against similar plans in 2003, as well as a proposed repeal of the federal estate tax. McCain said they disproportionately benefited the wealthy.”
Here’s a good example of how Mr. McCain and his elitist friends are “disproportionately benefited.”

WE can only hope that we was genuine in his stance against the Tax Cuts because there were not spending cuts to go along with them. If that is the truth, then I can’t fault him for that. I guess time will tell the tale. We do, on the other hand, know that B. Hussein and ‘The Billary’ will drastically raise taxes should they be elected.
This is why it’s so important that we remember the down ballot guys, and not sit out this election because we’re not happy with our choices. Me, I damned mad about it. It sickens me that I have had to fight away the bile, and support McCain. But truth be told, if we can make sure the Dems don’t gain seats in the House or Senate, or even better, we take some back, at least we’ll have a fighting chance at defeating or stalemating any Tax increases, or nonsense amnesty bills.
