It boils down to this, McCain will continue Bush's 'Welfare for the Rich' policies, and Obama will help the Middle Class, which is in shambles now.
If I'm bankrupt and losing my house, I really don't care what race Obama is, I just want someone who will help, which is why McCain will go down.

Obama is for welfare people and not the middle class. He wants the money from the rish, supposedly at least, and then he will make the middle class pay more in taxes when he finds out that he can't do anything without higher taxes on the middle class. Then we will see what he is all about.

That said, I hope that I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

If you're bankrupt and losing your house it's your own fault. How many 'middle class' provide the investment to create jobs in this country? None. You work for us. Be happy you have a job. We take the risks so of course the tax structure should benefit us.

If you are bankrupt and losing your house why should you get some sort of special help...I've had plenty of financial struggles that I managed to plan and work my way out of, and others that I planned for and avoided....I like to think others are accountable to do the same on their own.

You're not getting a tax cut.

Obama will "help" the dead beats that are to lazy to work.
McCain will help them if they go out and get a JOB.

I'm sick and tired of paying for the dead beat, food stamp, welfare, Section 8, tax dollar parasites that infest our country. Get a job!!

I love the exaggerations on both sides.

Obama certainly favors a progressive tax structure as he thinks under such structures you will end up with a greater distribution of wealth where everyone would be better off.

McCain thinks by reducing taxes to the wealthy you will fuel job growth (as it is the wealthy after all that are supply the capital for new businesses etc) and hence make everyone better off.

The two have similar goal, they merely differ on the best way to achieve it. I really wish people would leave the partisanship at the door and talk about the relative merits of the policy differences
