Debunking More McCranky Lies Anout Barack Obama's Tax Proposals

Meet Brian Deese, the Deputy Director of Economic Policy for Barack Obama's campaign. He seems like a nice young man, smart one too. Here's a video of him analyzing all the distortions and lies in McCain's new Smear and Fear attack ad. I like how he ends it: "In summary, this ad is a lie."

The bottom line about McCain's lies is this: Obama's tax plan gives 95% of American families a $1,000 tax cut, eliminates income taxes for seniors making less than $50,000, cuts capital gains taxes for small businesses to zero percent-- and ensures that no one making less than $250,000 pays a dime more in taxes.

Multimillionaires-- and the oil companies and other corporations they control-- and who have financed, and continue to finance, John McCain's political career are among the 5% who will be asked to pay their fair share. They're furious and... well there's a reason the Oil & Gas industry has poured over a million dollars into the McCain campaign and there's a reason why they've given him more money than anyone else in Congress. Did you see what we were talking about earlier in terms of the unsafe deterioration of the air travel system? You want to guess who gets the biggest contributions from the Air Transport Industry? Over a wide array of industries and corporations McCain is the One. The Telecoms paid him enough to sell out the Constitution on warrantless wiretaps and retroactive immunity for their law-breaking executives. In fact AT&T is his fifth biggest donor this year ($179,930), far beating out crooked, bankrupt home mortgage manipulators Bear Stearns ($94,200). Favorable tax policies have made him the #1 recipient of any politician in the country from the alcoholic beverages industry. John McCain always has been and still is-- is more than ever-- for sale. He has a long, long record of taking money from special interests and then voting for their agenda, regardless of what effect it has on his constituents. You think the gas crisis is bad now. It would be even worse under McCain! For all his years and years in Congress, he has no record of accomplishment to run on and he stands for nothing (other than war, war and more war)-- not even what he said the day before. All he can do is attack Obama with lies and lies and more lies.
