Comments on: McCain: Obama Would Harm Middle Class

[thinkharder-]

If Obama wins there will be no middle class. Only poor people, controlled by the government. Freedom will be lost...

How so? You people whoa re all up in arms about the "spread the wealth" idea really mystify me. If you oppose this idea you can only possibly be one of two things...either you are making over a quarter mil. a year, or your delusional. The GOP has had power for 20 of the last 28 years. The trickle down theory they have held fast to all this time has done NOTHING but squeeze the middle class for what little money they are worth. They provide all the tax incentives for the rich and claim that the fruits of their infallible ways will rain down upon us so we can all reap the benefit. Only problem...this has never happened. These guys increased the gap between the classes...empowering themselves and taking over our government with lobbying rights. Now is the time...this stops now. Its about time we get the breaks and they can sit idly by and wait for our fruits to trickle up. We''ve been groveling and begging for their crumbs for too long...now, in the wake of the biggest criminal heist in history occurring on Wall Street we can turn the tides. It''s time for the wealthy to sit back and wait for our spending power to worm its way up to them.

Is It True That Sen. Obama Is NOT A Legal or Naturalized Citizen of the United States of America and Therefore Not Eligible To Be Our President?


I heard there was still one person who believed this---nice to meet ya!

You''re an idiot--

Obama IS a US citizen--the only other affiliation he has was as a child he was given citizenship in Indonesia as a courtesy through his mother--that citizenship ended when Obama was 21--Obama was sent back to the states by his mother when he was 10 to get a better education--and he''s been here since then.

Your and my taxes were just used to spread the wealth,YES! We just gave $700B to wall street, this kind of bailout is also use on socialist countries, BUDDY....

Yes, Obama will hurt everyone.

I am a 58 year old graphic designer who has worked hard all my life to achieve the American dream, mostly in my own business.
Thankfully, I now make 60,000 per year.
My wife struggled for years and now makes about 250,000 per year.
We are not hurting but WE ARE NOT RICH.
Between saving for retirement, medical costs,putting money away for the 5 grandkids college, and a lot of maintenance on our aging home, we don''t have a lot of disposable income.
When taxing us the services we will cut to make ends meet is our gardener, housekeeper, restaraunts etc. All services I can do myself.
I plan on buying a new car next year. I can make do with the one I have for a few more years. Do you have something against GM and their employees?

Some of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants will not survive an Obama presidency. I can cook my own dinners, but what is going to happen to them and their employees? Go on welfare? I would rather pay them to fix my dinner than pay you to send them a welfare check.
What about my vacation? I will survive staying home, but what about all the people who will benefit from that?
You seem to not like small businesses. They are the engine of our economy. Do you want it to slow down to a crawl?
Do you want people to loose their jobs?
Every time you try and create a short cut to the American dream, you end up hurting the people (you say) you are trying to help.

McCain: Obama Would Harm Middle Class



Here we go again with McBush - twisting and misleading the public with his LIES.............

[agidoi]

if you wish for socialism then vote for obama

Sounds like Mr. Exxon(McCain)has finally got the message and has said the words "middle class".

[DCropp]

I compared tax plans.

My wife and I both have worked hard in America for over 20 years.

Obama/Biden plan...My family will receive $1500
McCain/Palin plan...we receive $228

Sorry McCain and Palin, for families across America, you need to stop lying.

[airboatboy1]

Ol''John''s sure isn''t the best at given a speech, is he? And it''s the same thing over and over. And his wife! She stands in the background with that frozen look on her face. She better take John to one of the houses and get that old man some rest.

LOL Are YOU on another PLANET!? ROFLMAO The STANDARD OF LIVING in this NATION has NEVER, NOT ONCE, gone up under TRICKLE DOWN! PLEASE stop embarrassing yourself and take a night course or two. The Economic Plan proposed by Obama is THE SAME as the one BILL CLINTON had and that one sure wasn''t to bad... Good Grief!!

[roberttxdem]

It seems like Sen. McShame has stepped up his "piling on" even more while Sen. Obama is away attending to his gravely ill grandmother. Is that piling on, or kicking a man while he is down. I used to like McCain, but I only have disdain for him and his attack pitbull.

[dzemog1]

Gee, I don''t know. Do you really think the campaign would''ve continued on this long, with Hillary waiting in the wings, if there was ANY doubt of Obama''s US citizenship? Give me a break. Ask it as many times as you want, but it won''t change the answer. Kind of McCain saying Obama will hurt the middle class won''t suddenly become true just because he keeps saying it. Then again, what''s the guy to do? He''s getting killed in early voting and all signs are pointing towards an embarassment of massive proportions on Nov 4th. It doesn''t matter what he says anymore. It''s over.

[standlee5]

McCain has it wrong. There won''t be a middle class. There''ll just be one flat line class of equality. Won''t it be grand. sunshine and rainbows.

OK. Now it''s beginning to happen. Senator McCain is settling into the notion that he likely will not win with his "if I am elected" staement. His attacks have less and less traction! The fact that he is going to Texas (where his lead has slipped to single digits) is further indication that the good Senator from Arizona realizes that he now has a legacy to protect - not an election to win.

[armydog2]

mccain and palin are the real threat to the middle class. get lost John.
