youtube.com — NBC compares the tax plans of Barack Obama and John McCain, and finds that Obama's plan would lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans, while McCain's tax cuts for the wealthy would drastically increase the federal deficit.

The "Trickle Down Policy", is merely a superfluous political economic theory. This "discretionary option" has done no more than to make the rich, richer and the poor see their jobs go over seas. The underclass don't get the deregulatory golden showers. They're running from the acid rain.The Blue Collar American has been whittled down to a mere pauper. Reganomics was given HGH under the Bush administration, which McCain so whole heartedly supports to this day. I am for Business period. I also something a little more people oriented has to balance things out now. Capitalism at it's greediest is no better than a Feudal system when exploited to extreme. The price you pay for exhausting any resource is collapse. There needs to be a balance established in the economy and those whom which the balance is currently in favor of will fight tooth and nail to keep it. Lie and cheat to protect it. Go to war to enrich it. Balance MUST be restored or we ALL lose. The Eagle has been lopsided for too long. The right wing know his but the bird cannot fly unbalanced this long and at this pitch. We will crash just like Wall Street. You cannot keep print money and owing the the Reserve more and more per dollar. You cannot keep raises the Nation's debt without paying for it later. We will pay for it one way or another. It's time to do the things the many need and not the few. Education and Health are the two biggest components we can give ALL Americans/ The short and long term effect would significantly propel our economy out of the dark. Green Technologies and the sciences cannot be pioneered by a country of idiots and the sick. All Americans deserve better. I know rich as well as poor, I get it Republicans, trust me I really do. The problem is you guys don't want to get it. The incredibly wealthy will, more than likely, stay that way for generations to come no matter what happens to the US Reserve Note. It is the average American that needs to know they can and will suffer but not because the American Dream is locked in a vault with 10 inch steel walls owned by the HAVES, but because it is just par of the course to attain it. American jobs are now gone. Health Care is non-existent in the lives of over 45 MILLION AMERICANS!! We OWE foreign countries, so much of our debt. The America Dream is for sale, but the majority of Americans have systematically lost the ability to own a piece of it. Those who haven't don't seem to really care. Thus, the Liberal vs. Conservative spin machine powers up and grinds us all to a pulp every 4 years. This time thought the choices ARE VERY CLEAR. The present Republican path has run it's course and very much like "The Market" it's time for correction. It is said it markets, they can self correct if you let it run it's course a majority of times. The recent $700B corporate bailout is proof whom is running the government and refuses to be the victim of such Yin or the Yang. I say let them fall, it needs to happen. Yet as we see, it is hard to police.......the police. McCain will never break from the Bush policies because it is "The Rich Man's Policy." Even if it that policy kill us all, the other 99% of America. I know the system cannot be "Changed" completely nor should it be. But, there is NO DOUBT it is broken an needs an overhaul beyond anything we have EVER seen before. This is not about distractions and lipstick and more lies, which are distractions. This is about the American people making an unprecedented choice for themselves that could propel them into a brighter future, their countrymen, grandchildren and yes, the rest of the world. Or hopefully for many, 4 more years of the same. I prefer the first of the two.I will conclude this unyieldingly long post with my favorite quote written by Shakespeare in Julius Caesar. "Cassius suggests that the people get the government they deserveā¦" Obama/Biden

I urge every reader to research this post. I make this statement without disdain for the wealthy or the poor. Economists agree that tax cuts affecting the middle class represent the most bang for the buck in growing the national economy.

Is it just me or did they just say McCain's tax cuts have no chance to stick..

How does this change what I just said about Obama? Oh yeah... it doesn't.

Because we're supposed to hate the rich, but at the same time aspire to become rich, so we can pay a higher percentage of income to taxes to support social welfare in order to keep minorities and the poor in their place while allowing the educational system to continue deteriorating, further squashing these same poor and minorities' hope of ever rising above their station in life thereby leading to a sub-culture of victim mentality.

Not true, he just said in the debates that he would. And he also said he would let the Bush tax cuts expire which more than cancels out his tax cuts. He's being sneaky about it.

So it's okay to raise taxes as long as it's not on you? Raise someone else's taxes....yeah....get the other guy. Stupid Obama.
