I would really like a show of hands of how many of us making $75,000 and under really care if the rich have higher taxes. Do I hear crickets? McCain and Bush keep promoting this falsehood that lower taxes for the rich helps the rest of us. I realize that they are very wealthy and so do not realize what it is really like for the rest of us...but it very rarley trickles down.
Take minimum wage for example. Until recently, minimum wage had been the same $5.15 since 1997. That's about the price of a McDonald's Extra Value Meal. Allocating for inflation, minimum wage actually shrank 20% during that time. The small businesses that Bush and McCain were supposedly looking out for have increased the prices of their goods and services substantially, but have not paid their workers more. Trust us McCain...it doesn't trickle down. It actually trickles up. The CEO's are getting 7-8 diget bonuses while the workers are getting laid off.
That was just FYI for you wealthy Republicans. I'm tired of typing now.
