That’s what I’ve been wondering - not a peep about the tax cuts to expire in 2010...
Probably, McCain fears the word “Bush”.
He needn’t say “Bush Tax Cuts” - just that the tax rates are scheduled to go up in 2010 unless action is taken. McCain will take that action, 0bama won’t. Your taxes will go WAY up, and then 0bama will “give” you a measly 500 bucks.
I’m really disappointed by the campaign’s blunderbuss approach this week. There they were given Joe the Plumber and they’ve let it fade into people being if anything more comfortable ‘knowing’ that if they make less than $250K they’re going to be recipients of Obama’s largesse, rather than targets for his taxing.
They should do a full tally of all of Obama’s announced tax increases (including cap gains, dividends, estate, too), and then come out with computed average effects for an individual, a couple, and a family of four various income levels.
Letting Obama get away with the 95% and $250K numbers is political malpractice in my book.
