Now tell me how any average working american could possibly think Mccains plan is better.
Most wouldn't until you told them that 40% of tax filers don't pay any Federal Tax but will receive a check from the government. They understand this is welfare.
Most Americans don't want money going into their pockets that comes out of someone else's pocket.
Most Americans are smart enough to know that what the government considers "rich" today can very quickly change by tomorrow.
Most Americans understand if you promise to increase spending by one trillion dollars someone will have to pay for it.
Obama is simply trying to buy votes with his tax proposal. Hopefully enough Americans will understand and reject this.
