Quote:
John McCain takes great pride in saying he is a fiscal conservative, he’s already signaled that he will try to define me with the same old ‘tax and spend’ label that his side has been throwing around for decades at Democrats.
But lets look at the facts, John McCain once said that he couldn’t vote for the Bush tax cuts in good conscious because they were too skewered towards the wealthiest Americans. Later he said it was irresponsible to cut taxes during a time of war, because we simply couldn’t afford them. Well nothing has changed about the war, but something certainly has changed about John McCain. Because these same Bush tax cuts are his central economic policy, not only that – he is now calling for a new round of tax giveaways that are twice as expensive as the original Bush plan, and nearly twice as regressive.
His policy will spend more than two trillion dollars on tax breaks for corporations, including 1.2 billion dollars for Exxon alone, a company that just recorded the highest profits in history. Think about that, in a time when millions of Americans cant afford their medical bills or their tuition fees, when we are paying more than four dollars a gallon for gas. The man who rails against government spending, wants to spend 1.2 billion dollars on a tax break for Exxon Mobil, that isn’t just irresponsible, it’s outrageous.

I have to say, I thoroughly agree with Obama on this point, and it's why I most definitely will be voting for him. McCain is going to spend 2 trillion+ on tax breaks which only benefit the very top of society, while ordinary Americans fighting record gas prices and un-affordable health care costs McCain thinks that the people who need help are those who need help least.
I would encourage all those who want a just, free and more equitable America to vote Obama, and to end the shameful elitist legacy of Bush and his cronies.
While public schools rot and people can't afford to see a doctor, the rich elite of America are living it up with our tax money. WE MUST END THIS!
