Unfortunately, they also want a lot of benefits - social security, medicare, and a strong national defense. That comes from taxes. If you want these things, you should not complain. If you don't want these things, you should vote for someone willing to cut them. Neither of the two major candidates does, however.
So is Obama worse because he knows we have to raise taxes to pay for them? Or is McCain worse because he is willing to run significantly larger deficits to fund his programs - the same kind of profligate spending that people now point to in the housing crisis?
For my part, I am done with denial of fiscal reality. And I do take a hit under Obama's tax policies. And I accept that, because I want a country that provides social security, medicare, and a strong national defense.
It does not make sense to me to get angry at a candidate who says we can't have it all for free.
you think we will have a strong national defense with Obama?
