I find it remarkable that you give obama an easy pass on this issue... just two weeks ago obama said he was going to DOUBLE the capital gains tax, now he's claims he's going to lower it? Who's he kidding? Does he think people don't pay attention? And so what if mccain also flips, I never said he's a Saint, did I? mccain is certainly not my personal choice for dog catcher... but why redirect and attempt to change the subject, unless you're actually trying to justify obama's sudden reversal on taxes by suggesting that two wrongs make a right... obama plans on taxing everything and everyone, even the dead...<g> GZ

George Will: "McCain's populism, if such there must be, should be distilled into one proposal that would be popular and, unlike most populism, not economically injurious. The proposal, for which he has expressed sympathy, is: No officer of any corporation receiving a federal subsidy, broadly defined, can be paid more than the highest-paid federal civil servant ($124,010 for a GS-15). This would abruptly halt the galloping expansion of private economic entities -- is GM next? -- eager to become, in effect, joint ventures with Washington." A Race McCain Could Win By George F.
