In the past eight years the surplus the American economy once had, has slumped into what could be a recession. This has pushed the issue of economy to the forefront of the platform for the 2008 election. McCain has been highly criticized for his inexperience in the area of economics. Yet, he has come up with a "surefire" plan to solve the problems we are having due to the poor economy. What is at the forefront of this plan, you ask? Promises of outrageous and probably ineffective TAX CUTS! What a surprise.
He said, and I quote, "Americans do not resent paying their rightful share of taxes -- what they do resent is being subjected to thousands of pages of needless and often irrational rules and demands" (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/15/mccain.economy/index.html?iref=werecommend) What the hell? Ask any American if they are "indifferent" about paying their taxes, I'm pretty sure not one person would agree. Obviously, taxes are something that hits home to any American (of tax paying age, of course). Without taxes many beneficial federal programs would suffer and they are a necessary "evil" to keeping the country running smoothly. Now, lets just see some rich people paying their rightful share of taxes and we'll be good. :)
McCain proposes various "tax cuts" and a "summer gas tax holiday" which would eliminate the tax on gas from memorial day to labor day. Does he think before he publicizes these grand plans? It sounds too good to be true. Well, guess what? It is.
