That the British version of Vanity Fair is going to do an article that Obama may not like.

Maybe you didn't catch the Saddleback Church civil forum, but Obama stated that someone who makes $150,000 a year is "wealthy" and
I could have sworn he said $250k, or am I mistaken?

Obama and McCain Tax Proposals
According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 - a difference of nearly $1 million.
As do McCain's, the projected deficit from his plan is higher than Obama's. I will vote for the plan that will put more in the hands of the people who need and will spend it, including the small businessmen.
"There is NO way to do all that he proposes and not increase taxes on more people than he promised."
So where does it make sense that McCain can say he will cut taxes FOR ALL??

Do you really think people in the lower or middle class shouldn't pay less taxes than the wealthy? Does it not bother you that the US is the only industrialized country without a health care system in place? My husband works 50 hrs a week to
