What Has Become Of Comrade McCain

It's beyond ridiculous to hear the progressive taxation system that has served this country for close to 100 years derided as "socialism," but it wasn't so long ago that Chairman McCain was on board:



Considering that the only issue McCain is talking about anymore, outside of Obama being a scary Black radical Muslim, is taxes, the fact that he's flip-flopped on the very issue, in an extremely high-profile way, is really telling. Here's Obama bringing it up:

The irony is that when George Bush proposed the original tax cuts that lowered the rates for the wealthiest Americans, who objected? John McCain. Who said these were irresponsible, and said that they would prevent middle class tax relief, that they weren't properly targeted. Now, was John McCain a socialist back in 2000 when he opposed the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? Because all I'm trying to do is reverse those so we can give relief to those that really need help? It's not a very plausible argument that he's making right now, and I think it's an indication that they have run out of ideas.

Oh yeah? Well, spurt, blurb, bluster.... JOE THE PLUMBER!!!elevenone!1!

Keep in mind that ultimately, we're talking about restoring the 39% tax rate for the top bracket from 36%. Historically it's been as high as NINETY percent.
