McCain Targeting Obama's Tax Policy
By Verv
Mon Sep 29, 2008 - McCain is targeting Obama where he should be targeted, and that is on the great mythology surrounding his tax policy. This from CNN:
Sen. John McCain told voters Monday that Sen. Barack Obama isn't being honest about his tax votes and said the Democrat is "always cheering for higher taxes."
...
"Two times, on March 14, 2008 and June 4, 2008, in the Democratic budget resolution, he voted to raise taxes on people making just $42,000 per year. He even said at the time that this vote for higher taxes on the middle class was 'getting our nation's priorities back on track,' " McCain said at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.
"Then something amazing happened: On Friday night, he looked the American people in the eye and said it never happened. My friends, we need a president who will always tell the American people the truth," McCain said.
...
In his speech, McCain was referring to votes on a resolution (Senate Concurrent Resolution 70) meant to outline the Senate's budget priorities through 2013, but the measure had no practical effect.
According to a CNN review of the resolution, it assumes that most of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts pushed by President Bush will expire in that time, which McCain says amounts to a tax increase. Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, voted "yes" on the resolution. McCain did not vote.
There you have it -- the guy lied blatantly to the American people claiming that he did not do that... But in reality, he voted for it.
Was he carelessly voting? Or was he just conveniently forgetting?
Either way the guy is presenting himself disgracefully to the American people.
