WASHINGTON D.C 10/22/08 - Republican John McCain pleaded with New Hampshire supporters on Wednesday to fuel a come-from-behind victory, delivering stinging criticism of the tax and spending plans of Barack Obama in a state that is leaning toward the Democrat.
McCain has seized upon Obama's plan as a socialist redistribution of wealth, a message he pushed in New Hampshire, which has no income tax and a traditional aversion to government spending.
The Illinois senator has proposed a reversal of President George W. Bush's tax cuts that mainly benefited high the wealthy. The additional revenue, Obama contends, would offset tax breaks he wants to give to the 95 percent of Americans who make less than $250,000 annually.
