The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes ... raise payroll taxes ... raise investment income taxes ... raise the death tax ... raise business taxes ... and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that's now opened for business - like millions of others who run small businesses. ...How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy? I had a surprising conversation with two couples at a birthday party the other day. They both have small businesses and they both support (or at least lean) McCain. It was surprising because I live in CT, one of the bluest states. But they, like many small businesses, simply can't afford any more taxes or mandates (i.e. health insurance or sick days). They offer what they can to stay competitive but they are definitely worried about the financial impact of an Obama administration.
