Few points I need to make.

1. The speech that McCain said he knew very little about economics was made back in 05, well before he ever threw his hat in for president. There is also a very large difference between the microeconomics that most of us have a vague idea of, and macroeconomics that the president has to have a basic, and no more, knowlege of.

2. The Bush tax cuts didnt raise taxes on anyone. People that imply that are simply adding information to benefit their bias. We are not in a recession, its just a very slow economy. Several factors add into this but the main ones being the price of oil, natural disasters, and the presidential election. Iraq has much less to do with it than people like to admit. If anything it helps because of the amount of added cash into the economy when the contractors and military come home.

3. Obama has every intention to raise taxes on EVERYONE. Do a quick study on the evolution of the income tax and the 16th amendment. These tax increases for the "filthy rich" will simply trickle down to lower and lower tax brackets. Also, THE TRUELY RICH DONT PAY A SINGLE PENNY IN INCOME TAXES. They pay capital gains taxes and its a very simple legal matter to have a main residence moved to a more lenient country while never leaving the US. The people most affected by raising of income taxes will be the working rich, they are the ones that dump huge amounts of cash into our economy on their expensive toys and homes.

4. Obama isnt much more of a speaker than McCain is. I'm sure everyone remembers his meaningless babbling at a townhall meeting in NC, I believe it was. If you want to talk about McCains lack of intelligence because of his issues with different sects of Islam fine, but I can assure everyone here that you couldnt name half of the differences between the many different sects of christianity either. I will also take experience over book smarts any day of the week.

5. Taxing corporations HURTS the average joe. Added SS, Medicare, and payroll taxes lessen raises and eliminates jobs. Those same taxes also raise the prices of goods that they produce.

I'm sure I will think of more to say, but I need to get to bed, I have school in the morning.
