Stats can always be manipulated. Sorry Truble but can't believe stats from a left wing source.

Here's a fox news link that refers to the study as independent. Hmnn, who to believe Mr. Bozell or Mr. Murdoch.

McCain, Obama Trade Fire on Tax Plans - America’s Election HQ

yes, the Fox report refers to the Tax Policy Center report. SOOOOOOO??????????? You have just proved that Fox News is fair and balanced-offering different views!!!!!

[quote=kathytheshopper;3028294]

Fox refers to the Tax Policy Center's study as an "independent study".



No, I think I just proved that even Fox knows that the Tax Policy Center is independent.

Sorry, shopper, I didn't give you stats from a left wing source. I know, the truth about McCain must be very painful for you, but the fact is that he's a womanizing liar with a serious problem keeping his facts straight. Oh, and he's creepy looking, but I think that's overshadowed by his ridiculous lies.

He's creepy looking??? OH - MY - GOSH. Let's make sure we cast our votes on who looks the best. Wait, that would mean Edwards should be the President but he's a womanizing liar!!! Yes, that was a left wing leaning source. I looked it up.

My first post

Here are some comments from factcheck.org (neither left nor right wing) regarding McCain’s tax ads.

More Tax Deceptions
August 8, 2008 - McCain misrepresents Obama's tax proposals again. And again, and again.
FactCheck.org: More Tax Deceptions

Obama's Celebrity Cred
July 30, 2008 - A new McCain ad calls Obama a celebrity (true) who says he'll raise taxes on electricity (false).
FactCheck.org: Obama's Celebrity Cred

McCain's Small-Business Bunk
July 14, 2008 - He claims 23 million small-business owners would pay higher tax rates under Obama. He's wrong. The vast majority would see no change, and many would get a cut.
FactCheck.org: McCain's Small-Business Bunk

The $32,000 Question
July 8, 2008 - Updated: July 11, 2008
The McCain campaign falsely claims that Obama voted to raise income taxes on individuals earning "as little as $32,000 per year."

Errors en Español
July 8, 2008 - Updated: July 9, 2008
A Spanish-language McCain radio ad gets nearly all its facts wrong.

Tax Tally Trickery
July 3, 2008 - Republicans claim Obama "voted 94 times for higher taxes." But their count is inflated and misleading
FactCheck.org: Tax Tally Trickery

Not a McCain ad but more of the same
Q: Could Obama tax my profits if I sell my home? Would he tax my IRA? Would he tax my water?
I was just sent this and it had 100s of names attached and forwarded over and over – is it real? FactCheck.org: Would Obama tax my profits if I sell my home? Would he tax my IRA? Would he tax my water?

I did expect better of McCain. I thought he was a man of honor. Now he’s running for president on lies, false statements and personal (not policy) attacks. How disappointing.

We are screwed either way.

McCain and Obama tax plans are criticized - Los Angeles Times

"The competing tax plans laid out by Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain would both add trillions of dollars to the national debt and could add to the tax system's complexity, a nonpartisan tax research group concluded Wednesday in a newly released report.

Both campaigns assert that their plans to continue many Bush-era tax cuts and offer new reductions would aid the economy without massive new spending. But the Washington-based Tax Policy Center warned that under either candidate, "the debt would likely continue to rise as it has over the past eight years.""

Under this user name anyway, huh???

You wouldn't live in Hampton Roads, would ya??

Edwards turns you on!

Hey, thanks for digging this old thread up -- has some good, pertinent information seeing as how Senator McCain will likely mention his tax policies in his speech in a few hours.

You caught me I did have another user name about 5 or maybe 6 or 7 years ago... back when the boards had a green shamrock theme. But haven't posted in years and couldn't remeber my user ID or pass so created a new one.

Nope never heard of Hampton Roads.

I should make is clear that was my first post on the Election board. Years ago I posted on the LWIF board a couple times.

By the time they have a dependent deduction or two and then take the standard deduction, exactly how much is someone who makes $37,595 paying in taxes? Just curious.

You forgot some


FactChecking Obama

He stuck to the facts, except when he stretched them.

That's a good question and sorry I don't have an answer for you.

Seems like both positions on taxes are flawed, and then again these are also just proposals of what the say they'd like to do. Here's a pretty good site that compares the canidates and more importantly shows how they have voted in the past:

Tax Reform: 2008 contenders' views

No, I didn’t forget one. My post was written on Aug 9th, 20 days before this came out and it was about “McCain Tax Lies”. I was saving this one for a different debate

Ahhh. . .ok. Just trying to bring a little balance. I think both plans are pretty unrealistic, and just pointing out that the misrepresentation comes from both camps.
