I'm making this promise to all Republicans I meet.
If you can show me how McCain's tax plan DOES NOT redistribute wealth, I will cheerfully change my vote from Obama to McCain.



What? What's that? I'm not hearing anything.

1. Oh, but it redistributes wealth UPWARD. That doesn't count, because
upward is the natural direction of the money flow, and all McNutso is doing is to hasten it along a little.

2. Excellent!!! Excellent!! ALWAYS the best strategy, turn their own words against them.
:applause:

That confuses them and, therefore, makes them less effective AND any un-decideds listening get a different perspective on the issues AND if you actually do get an answer that is also an opportunity to do some Educating.

5. I'd like to see this sound clip on Fox News:
McCain replied that “wealthy people can afford more” and that “the very wealthy, because they can afford tax lawyers and all kinds of loopholes, really don’t pay nearly as much as you think they do.”

McCain answering a voter during the 2000 election.

where he defends the progressive tax system and advocates for targeting tax cuts to the middle class over the rich. Though, this was back in a 2000 town-hall meeting when he (apparently) was less inclined to say anything to get elected.
