There's nothing unique in his plan other than taxes going through the roof.

Why are people voting for this bozo again?

His plan will put me out of business and lay off every employee I have.
Massive layoffs will come. Save your money folks.
But then again, he is going back to Illinois to screw it up some more anyway.

I would like to know what Bush's lowering of the capital gains tax rate has done for the stock market or the economy lately?

If the rate is reduced some, it may make the market drop a little for a short time, but it will recover. People will not stop investing in stocks because of a small tax rate increase.

The tax rate was 28% for many years before Bush cut it and the market climbed overall.

Obama won't be raising the rate on small businesses.

I'm sick of Republicans saying Obama is going to raise taxes. What a distortion of the facts. Taxes will be raised for people with incomes of $250,000 or more - a minute portion of the population. The vast majority of us will see a decrease in our taxes under Obama's plan.

The Republican lies and distortions will backfire on them.

Excellent analysis in the video! Why don't people understand this?

REVENUES WENT OUT THE ROOF UNDER BUSH.

I am sick of liberals being so stupid to think he wont raise taxes on us. He will raise all taxes, called hidden taxes so make up for your lack of knowing about them, everything under the sun will be taxed even more.

And, who cares about taxes when of the country wont have a pay to check to buy anything under his plan.

His 250k plan is a bogus well planned scam and you are falling for it.

Obama has NEVER voted against a single tax hike, ever.

We've lost 600,000 jobs is the last few months. We have folks living in tent cities by the traintracks. We have over 9.4 Million people unemployed. Perhaps you can explain what continuing President Bush's plan which is now Senator McCain's plan will do? If it hasn't worked for 8 years, why will it work now? Doesn't the math show an exponential increase in our current problems? Does the Senator have a single new idea to address the problems he has helped create? Show us an example of his leadership on economic issues that served the common citizen.

Just give us a list of ten things the Senator has done for the Average Citizen.

We have galloped towards a command economy system, like ancient Egypt or, more recently, the Soviet Union.

The Bush adminstration has started it through monetary policy, McCain or Obama will continue with that, and Obama would finish the gallop to the goal line through fiscal policy.

The monster has two heads, but the body is one.

Welcome to the new high-tech ancient Egypt, hail to the new pharaohs.
