Finally McCain has an issue he can attack Obama on, and its something every American cares about- Taxes. Recently McCain has been focusing on Obama's past radical connections. While they are very important, the issue wasn't resonating with voters. They were more concerned about the economy and their 401K than the fact that the were about to elect a man who had lengthy ties with former domestic terrorists.
A few days before the last Presidential Debate, Joe the Plumber asked Obama a very important question at a campaign rally in Ohio. "I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes 250, 270, $280,000 a year. You're new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Then Obama responds "95% of small businesses make less than $250,000 so I want to give them a tax cut...Nobody like high taxes...For the 5% that are making more, I just want to make sure they are paying a little more to pay for these cuts...When you spread the wealth around its good for everyone". Spread the Wealth Around- 4 words that have changed everything in this race. Joe the Plumber was a huge gift to McCain! It now allows McCain to use taxes as a blue-collar issue. It shows Obama's plan for American Socialism of taxing the rich and then using government programs to give back the poor. Socialism doesn't work, the failure of the Soviet Union proved this to be true. Income redistribution rewards failure and penalizes hard working individuals.
Now McCain has a few effective ads of everyday Americans telling why Obama's tax plan will hurt their families and their small businesses. If he can keep up the tax fight, his chances are much greater November 4th!!!
