Why does John McCain and Sarah Palin keep saying that Obama will raise your taxes?
I’m a canadian citzen and i pay very close attention to the US Elections and i find it kind of funny hearing John McCain and Sarah Palin keep saying that Obama will raise taxes? I just don’t get it. Its Proven that obama will cut taxes for people making under $250,000 a year and thats alot of americans but are they just saying this because Obama plans will their raise taxes? or are people just that oblivious.
Because Obama has promised everyone everything to get elected. He will have to raise taxes but has lied about it. Being Canadian you should know about taxes.
You must not see all of the news clips there in the frigid north. Mr.Obama and Mr.Biden can’t really decide on a number, it is down quite a bit from $250k. Mr.Obama has always voted for tax increases not decreases. Mr.Obama has enough penalties to totally negate any cut he may make.
Its because regardless of anything, Republicans will ALWAYS say that Dems will raise taxes.
He will let the Bush tax cuts expire for one.
95% OF WORKERS DON’T PAY TAXES.
Simple. Obama has proposed over a trillion dollars in new social programs that have to be paid for somehow. Despite saying he would cut taxes for the Middle Class, Bill Clinton, when elected, RAISED income taxes on the Middle Class. It’s easy to promise tax cuts and if people are naive enough to believe the candidate, it can get them elected. However, the reality is, social programs cost a lot of money and to fund them Obama will raise taxes just like the last Democratic president did. In fact, John F. Kennedy was the last Democratic president to actually cut income taxes. It is not something Democrats tend to do.
Because a lot of people don’t do research and will trust whatever their favorite candidate says.
McCain says he will lower taxes for everyone yet he increases spending – that does not work. That’s why he can still get the American people by having all the bailouts.
He approves of the $700 billion bailout with the banking crisis.. He wants a $300 billion bailout for homeowners who can’t pay their mortgages because they bought what they could not have afforded. He also wants a $25 billion bailout for the auto industry.
The Democrats in congress voted to raise the bar on the ATM (Alternative minimum tax) so that upper-middle class people wouldn’t get hit by it. When Republicans talk about taxes they are talking about huge chunks of taxes that hit the rich. They want you to think yours are going up also, so they overgeneralize.
