Obama Airs McCain Smear Ad
I just saw it myself for the first time just now on Fox 59. The Obamassiah stated in the ad during McCain’s tenure in Congress we’ve become more independent on foreign oil, and gas prices have increased exponentially while McCain voted “against alternative energy”. B. Hussein also stated in his ad what could be considered a slight towards Sen. McCain’s age by stating “McCain has been in the Senate for 22 years”. Meanwhile B. Hussein Obama has only served in the Senate for going on 4 years now, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune.
Obama’s plan includes “energy independence” by drastically increasing auto efficency, increasing spending on vaporware “alternative energy” and just to sell it all to John Q. Public, a mere $1000 tax cut for “middle class families”. By the way, I’ve figured it up and I’ve spent well over $1000 more on fuel since the Dems took over Congress than before.
When B. Hussein Obama talks about energy independence, he really doesn’t mean it because he opposes drilling in ANWR and off the coasts. He’s rather let the Chinese come in and get to it horizontally from Cuba [Yes, I know they aren't doing it yet but they'll surely try it soon].
“Drastically increasing auto efficency” means new vehicles will resemble Renault’s Le Car or the Yugo. Remember those rolling junkyards?
Increasing spending on alternative energy means passing the loot among friends such as Algore. Don’t forget to buy your carbon credits from Al while you’re at it.
And it’ll all be better with a $1000 tax cut. Puh-leeze.

By the time Obama raises our taxes, causes vehicles to cost $thousands more, guts our military, and triples social programs, this country will be down the tubes.

Taxpayer, unless you make 112,000 a year you’d pay less taxes under Obama than McCain. If you did, they’d be lower, just not as much.

Just goes to show income tax has nothing to do with revenue generation it’s simply a social engineering system with bonuses and penalties for desired political effect.

I don’t know how anyone can say definitively what taxes would be like under Obama. He has said so many different things on the issue that there is no way to tell. He has proposed so many pandering proposals that he will clearly not leave taxes untouched. He MAY decide that they only way to fund them is to tax the heck out of the “rich”, but we will quickly discover the folly there.
There is no question that Obama wants to raise taxes. NO QUESTION. He repeatedly talks about it. But who pays a “big oil” windfall profit tax? Not the “fat cats”–the consumer. All of them–even those who make less than $112,000 a year.

By the way: closing a “loophole” is just code-speak for raising taxes. If you did something stupid like eliminate the tax deduction for charitable contributions, that could be called “closing a loophole”, but it is really just an effort to “enhance revenues”.
So listen to Obama and mentally translate as he talks about how to fix things. You will discover that almost all of his proposals include increasing taxes.
