Time to Slam Obama's Tax Plan

Whatever is left of the economy after the current round of crisis interventions by the Fed could go down the drain if Obama is elected and carries out his plans for sharp increases in taxation.

Even if Obama does not understand the linkage, most Americans do and will turn sharply against Obama's tax plans if McCain hammers away at the risk they pose for us all.

The below piece is also from the same article.

During the Great Depression, Congress raised taxes sharply in the Revenue Act of 1932. The top rate went from 25 percent to 63 percent. As a result, the real GDP dropped by 13.3 percent, and unemployment rose from 15.9 percent to 23.6 percent.

He will destroy what is left. Let's add a national health care system to our debt. Along with giving the United Nations hundreds of billions of dollars.

Does anyone see a contradiction here? We can't afford national health care, but we must continue to spend billions and billions of dollars fighting a thankless war in Iraq. Talk about a drain on the economy!

Obama has already stated that due to this unprecendented bailout- he will have to scale-in some of his wish list once the GOP disaster has settled.

It's funny you people talk about how Obama will destroy the economy but elude to the fact that McCain HAS ALREADY HAD A HAND IT PUTTING US WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
