Why did John McCain never once expose 0bama’s “tax plan” for what it is during any of the debates?

How can Obama cut taxes for 95% of Americans when 40% pay no income tax?

[I_Like_Spam]

How is Obama’s claim that he will reduce taxes for 95% consistent with his idea of calling for “sacrifice” from Americans?

[Red Steel]

Obama plans for over 1 trillion in new spending. Does anyone expect Obama to veto any tax increases? Plans to let tax cuts to expire in 2010. Voted 94 times to increase taxes.

Yeah, sure he is. Obama is selling the public nonsense.

I’m still waiting on that middle-class tax cut Bubba promised me in 2000. How anybody could trust a Democrat to cut taxes is beyond me.

Later in the article:

He [Plouffe] insisted that under Obama's plan, income taxes would be lower, as well as capital gains taxes on start up businesses and small entrepreneurs (though the capital gains tax would otherwise increase).

Start-ups? Small businesses usually don't have capital gains until they sell the business. Usually it takes a small business quite a while to grow to a point that it is worth selling and thus generating capital gains. By that time, I doubt the business would still be categorized as a "start-up". What a joke.

It's amazing how he has managed to pitch a wealth redistribution scheme as a “tax cut” and get away with it. McCain is only just now calling a spade a spade, i.e. Obama’s tax cut socialism, but it may be too little too late. He should have done this in the debates when the nation was watching. This group called “StickObama” has a bumper sticker that says “Obama: Bringing Europe to America (and saving you the trip)” which I think sums it up quite well. I just can't believe how accepting the public has been of this Europeanization of America and its values. Our Founders broke away from Europe to get away from tyranny and infringements upon our natural rights, and we are foolhardily welcoming these injustices right back in.

Hussein himself has slipped and called it "Income Tax rebates" a couple of times.

When pressed, he redefined the "rebates" as FICA and "other" taxes that are being "refunded", without explaining that the only source of making up the robbery is through income taxes paid by --- you guessed it ---- the real middle class, those making $80k or less...

Not if you raise corporate taxes you’re not! You’ll then be raising taxes (indirectly) on everyone!

Penetrating Insights into the Obvious

[dervish]

At long last McCain finally called him on this.

Only Obama responded - the 40% do pay taxes, payroll taxes. Then he accused McCain of saying that hardworking Americans would be getting welfare.

How would you counter?
