Bama, if you keep spouting out lies like "Obama has voted to raise taxes 94 times" then we're just going to put you on ignore brah.
I'm more than happy to debate the issues, but let's keep it real and not take our talking point directly from McCain radio commercials or Rush Limbaugh.
There haven't even been 94 votes on taxes since Obama has been in the Senate.
Go to factcheck.org, or politifact.com and check out the truth.
If everything I knew about Obama was stuff I'd heard from McCain, I probably wouldn't like him very much either.
Obama's tax proposals are as follows.
Income taxes on people making over 250K per year go back up to what they were under Bill Clinton.
Everyone else gets a tax cut.
Capital gains and dividend taxes will go back to what they were under Bill Clinton, but they will be indexed so that people who make less than 250K per year don't have to pay them.
The estate tax will remain, but will have between a 2 and 5 million exemption before a dime is paid. This means only a fraction of the top 1% of estates will be subject to the tax.
Maybe you like McCain's tax policies better, and that's fine, but you don't have to lie about what Obama would do or lie about his voting record. It doesn't make anyone here more likely to vote for your guy, it just makes you look silly.
