Obama vs McCain
John McCain is out-of-touch with economic realities:
- John McCain defines rich as making $5 million or more. By McCain’s logic, you’re middle class if you’re making $3 million per year. Do you think that’s middle class?
- John McCain thinks “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.” For who? With the mortgage crisis taking people’s houses and gas prices rising, just who is McCain talking about?
- John McCain is more of the same. McCain is offering more of the same economic policies we’ve gotten from President Bush for the last eight years. McCain thinks multimillionaires are members of the middle class, homeowners are to blame for the housing crisis, and Big Oil needs more tax breaks but middle class families don’t.
- Barack Obama is the clear choice for American families. Barack will put the middle class first. He’ll pass a middle class tax cut that gives 95% of working Americans a tax cut of up to $1,000—and he’ll give families an emergency energy rebate to help folks cope with rising gas prices. He’ll offer students a $4,000 tax break to pay for tuition in exchange for doing 100 hours of community service. And he’ll raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation. That’s change we can believe in.
