I believe that when you really look at the tax code today, the very wealthy, because they can afford tax lawyers and all kinds of loopholes, really don't pay nearly as much as you think they do when you just look at the percentages. And I think middle-income Americans, working Americans, when the account and payroll taxes, sales taxes, mortgage pay -- all of the taxes that working Americans pay, I think they -- you would think that they also deserve significant relief, in my view...If you said John McCain you would be CORRECT. That's the John McCain of 2000 - remember him? - answering a citizen's question on Hardball.
I know. I know. Isn't that that pesky "spreading the wealth" that McCain and Palin are up in arms over? Well, sure! But this is an election year, and apparently that means McCain's job is to demonize others for things he actually believes in.
Think that's taken out of context? To hear McCain say specifically that this is NOT socialism, read the full transcript here.
