The problem is, it is not true. it doesn't work. The last 8 years of "help companies grow the economy and provide jobs" in addition to other obvious bad decisions has not worked.

Under Obama, over $250k you'll pay about $5k more than what you're paying now. Weight that vs. voting in the party that over the past 8 years has ass fucked the constitution, and driven the economy and our reputation around the world into the ground.

It's not to say that Obama is absolutely going to magically save everything but at least he will come with a plan, something different, an attempt to fix it. I'm more willing to put $5k on a plan to "fix shit" in hopes that that will bring more money to more people who might spend it on my services, than I am to save $5k to continue as we're going.

McCain (repubs '08) is like the "instant gratification" vote. "I want my $5k and Obama can't have it, fuck the middle class, fuck the economy, fuck national security, fuck diplomacy, fuck science, fuck the dollar, fuck the constitution, fuck a viable VP, fuck trying to fix things, fuck the truth, I want my $5k and that's it."
