McCain Hits Obama On Taxes

By: Vaughn Ververs
Topics: Advertising

John McCain's campaign is out with a new ad just as Obama heads off to vacation. The ad, which plays once again off of the "celebrity" theme the campaign has pushed over the past couple of weeks, hits Obama on taxes.

"Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us times are tough," the ad begins. "Obama voted to raise taxes on people making just $42,000. He promises more taxes on small business, seniors, your life savings, your family. Painful taxes, hard choices for your budget. Not ready to lead. That's the real Obama." Watch it:

I''d rather have a "tax and spender" than a borrower and spender (see the Bush administration). At least he would be willing to pay for his proposals instead of holding his hat out to the bankers from China and the Middle East.; Reply to this comment

standlee5;

The Bush, cut taxes, borrow-and-spend, policy (backed by McCain) has assessed the biggest tax INCREASE on Americans since the Reagan administration via the $.5 trillion annual interest. ($406 billion in 2006)

The Bush tax cuts and excessive spending doubled the national debt to $9.6 trillion. Taxpayers paid $2.5 trillion in interest from 2001 through 2007.

From now until the debt is reduced (if ever), the yearly interest will be at least $1/2 trillion and will grow as the debt grows.; Reply to this comment
