I haven't heard him say that. If he has, it's not nearly as pronounced as Obama - and taxes are taxes are taxes are taxes. You can't cry against socialism one day and sign a $800 Billion bail-out the next, which said bailout is socialism at it's best. Which is another good point - you can't cry against earmarks and then not say a single word when your party (Repubs in this case) add $100 Billion of "sweeteners" to the original $700 Billion bill in order for it to pass. My point is the hypocrisy of calling socialism "evil" when both parties have basically embraced socialist policies. Nate – I haven’t heard that McCain wants to reduce taxes on the middle class.

I often hear Obama being called a Socialist because he wants to tax those making over $250k a year. McCain does not receive much criticism because he wants to stay with party lines and lower taxes. That's fine. I'm all for lower taxes. In fact I like it better that way. The problem is we're a trillion dollars over budget and it's not getting better. So McCain has no solution to pay for this other than cutting earmarks (apprx. $1B if he's able to pull it off) and putting a spending freeze on government. I don't know what that means. I can't find it on his website. He doesn't want to talk about how to pay for everything he wants including 'not losing' in Iraq and increasing forces in Afganistan and other hot spots in the world. I would love to come home and tell my wife that I'll buy her everything she wants, and I'll work less hours to do it, but it's not going to pay the bills in the end.
