'Unethical?'

Here is what McCain said in 2000: (source: New Yorker)


wealthy people can afford more, and the very wealthy, because they can afford tax lawyers and all kinds of loopholes, really do not pay nearly as much as you think they do.

The exchange continued:

Young woman: Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism and stuff?. . .

McCain: Here is what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there is nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.



Here is what Sarah Palin said a few weeks before her VP selection: (source: New Yorker)

Referring to Alaska revenue:

So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. Perhaps there is some meaningful distinction between spreading the wealth and sharing it (collectively, no less), but finding it would require the analytic skills of Karl the Marxist.


What this shows is that their argument about spreading wealth is hogwash just to get elected.

The connection between Obama and Ayers is through
the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that received money from the Annenburg
Foundation, but the Chicago Annenburg Challenge Challenge and the
Annenburg Foundation are not directly connected philosophically. The
earmark Senator Obama requested was for the Annenburg Foundation, which
funded the Chicago Annenburg Challenge and also funds FactCheck.org.
Obama is tied to both groups one via earmark, the other via direct
participation, however, Ayers is not directly connected to
FactCheck.org

This is getting tiresome. These lies are really making me very sick of McCain. He had promised months ago a straight good campaign, but in the last month, it was nothing but irrespectful lies, attacks, etc. I just do not see how could anyone say these lies are truth and ethical.

Fact:

When people have more money to buy goods and services, business (and corporations) profit goes up.

They also need more workers to produce.

DEMAND SIDE ECONOMICS

Brydges, you're giving me too much to make fun of you again...go scrub toilets at your real important job. You certainly do suck at life.

OK after reading this story i find it leaves out one major fact. The obama campaign has spent more than anyone else in the history presidential campaigns on negative adds. Of which the vast majority are misleading or just plain untrue. Come on news week, lets report the hole story not just a part that happens to meet your political ideals.

EVERYONE WATCH ZEIGEIST .............You will see all the real truths about this war and the wars in the past..........McCain will only make things worse......WE NEED TO BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!!!

Does this piece surprise anyone?

McCain's campaign strategy has always been to falsify or outright lie about any of his opponents to distract voters from his own weaknesses and lack of credentials for the job of President.

Where did you learn your economics? Libertyfirst ever heard of a thing called the balanced budget theorem. Where did you learn to distort the truth like McCain? If fact tax cuts for the rich disrupt the balanced budget theorem because tax cuts for the rich constitute only discretionary income as a proportion of their total income. They will more likely to be spent on savings possibly in off shore in tax havens , purchasing fewer luxury type goods many of which may be imported, overseas holidays etc. In fact the rich typically engage in the types of expenditure which do very little to lift consumption and circulate money in the domestic economy and will have a disproportionately adverse affect on the balance of payments. Trickle down is exactly what it says you poor buckets of money in at the top for the rich and a small trickle comes out at the bottom for the poor e.g. donations to charity. If you want to stimulate the economy create jobs and even wealth for the rich which is what is needed right about now is in fact to give tax cuts to the middle and lower incomes they will spend more on purchasing the goods and services that will generate income and jobs in the domestic economy. The rich and the cooperates in America have already had their tax cuts thanks to George Bush no one was calling that re-distribution of wealth socialism suddenly when its cuts for the middle and lower income brackets it???s a re-distribution of wealth and socialism. This is exactly the type of rubbish and one eyed twisted logic that results from the untruths masquerading as knowledge that Libertyfirst is spouting. If you purport to be an intellectual or an expert on economics libertyfirst then you damn well should be not just be another mouthpiece for McCain???s lies.

interesting that NONE of the misleading, wrong and misinformed ads and claims by the Obama camp NEVER make it to front page msn. Typical libral, biased, hypocritical left media.
