Interesting thing I saw the other night, was McCain saying raising taxes on the middle class was "not off the table."

He shouldn't say that, because he might have to while in office....

SLC actually McCain was referring to Social Security taxes which would affect every working person in order to shore up Social Security.

Obama wont raise taxes on the middle class because with his stupid economic disaster plans he will tax small businesses OUT OF BUSINESS and the middle class wont have job to pay taxes.

Obamas idea is to have all the hidden taxes because most of his followers only see one tunnel, he will tax you to breathe and say it is not a new tax.

Obama will destroy the middle class with his policies. Jobs will go overseas by the day.

The tax rate that Obama would let expire would place tax rates to Reagan levels, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Question: What is middle class to Obama? Where is his definitive starting point and ending point?

I read that Obama intended to raise taxes on those who make over $250,000. Is that where his upper class begins?

If I made $249,999 I wouldn't have my taxes raised according to what Obama said. I guess by Obama's definition I would be at the upper limit of middle class.

Wierd!

Obama had no clue as to what the middle class is?

Since he only made 200,000 range for years before he became a Senator I wonder if he will raise taxes on himself since he made into the millions only after he became a Senator?
