There are two statements that Obama keeps repeating that really irritate me (well actually many more than two). First, he says that McCain wants to give tax cuts to the oil companies. Next, he says McCain wants to give tax cuts to companies that do business overseas.
Here is the truth. McCain wants to give tax cuts to ALL businesses. The reason is that we currently have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. McCain's corporate tax cuts will give companies an incentive to do business here at home.
Obama is clearly playing wealth-envy/ class-envy politics. Sadly, too many Americans will vote for Obama because they believe it is important to punish the rich, to punish the businesses that make our economy thrive.
Think about. Really think about it! That philosophy is contrary to what America stands for. Punish the achievers and reward the non-achievers.
Our country has transformed from 13 colonies to the sole Super-Power in the world in less than 300 years because we have given every citizen the opportunity to acheive their goals and dreams. Now, we have a man who has actually convinced many Americans that the very people who have worked hard and made the most of their freedoms are the problem. Unbelievable.
