McCain-Bush

Mr.McCain makes light of the suggestion that if he were voted in as president, he would represent an extension of the Bush presidency in that he has attached himself to Bush in hopes of ingratiating himself to the conservative base. Mr. McCain is the wrong person at the wrong time to be be president. This country cannot afford another president like Bush. We cannot afford another hawk in the presidency.

Mr.McCain now rails against increasing taxes, and even extending Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy. Prior to becoming attached to Bush's hip, he was against Bush's tax cuts. Tell me Mr. McCain; how do you plan to pay for the trillion dollar US debt amassed due to the Iraq war. If we stay there any longer, the debt will only escalate.

Most economists say that lowering the tax rate will increase revenues when tax rates are lowered from a relatively high rate. Not the case in the US where the maximum tax rate is only 35%. Albeit this seems high, but how else can we provide police protection for the wealthy families half-dozen mansions in the half-dozen different locations.
