Gonna give the guy a fair shake, and read to see how he wants to fund the proposals he outlined last night.

Universal healthcare will save us another $200 billion dollars a year. Combine that with raising taxes on those making over $250,000 a year and windfall taxes on the oil companies, and you have a nice chunk of change. |

Oh by the way, his plan is to comb the Government for programs he can cut. Ya like Congress will ever cut a program.

AARP's Perspective: Quote: |
The Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, gives a preliminary estimate that over the next decade, McCain's tax proposals would reduce federal revenues $3.7 trillion while Obama's cuts would amount to $2.7 trillion.
| McCain, Obama Offer Different Visions on Taxes
From the Chicago Sun Times: Quote: |
The rich would pay more under Barack Obama's tax plan, and the poor and middle-class would pay less, a nonpartisan analysis finds.

I was looking to see if the Obama campaign had released a detailed paper on his tax policy, or if I should just go by what's on the website.
I'm not interested in others' analyses. I can read past headlines and think for myself, thank you.
