It was not a lie or even a misrepresentation. According to your own post. Glad we cleared that up. Update, Aug. 12: The tax falsehoods continued with the release of a McCain Web ad Aug. 11 claiming that the "perks" of joining the Obama "fan club" include "a tax incease for everyone earning more than $42,000 a year."

Obama's proposal removes the cap on FICA taxes. Also, his proposal doubles the capital gains tax. Wonder that will do to the markets if he is elected....?

"Saying it any other way is a lie. A single person making 42K would have their taxes raised if it were up to Obama." No it wouldn't. That was a small part of a bill that didn't pass. He has not said anything about raising taxes on that group at all. "A single person making 42K would have their taxes raised if it were up to Obama. The claim, by McCain, is absolutely true." No it doesn't. Now true, he did vote for a bill once that had that as a provision. However, McCain has never said "a single person making $42k a year". McCain used the ambiguous "people making $42k a year", with a picture of a woman reading to two children and implying families. To further make the point, he has ads which claimed families in particular. That is a lie.
