   McCain supports socialist policies as well. He just doesn't call them that. Socialism in the context of the current election is employed as a scare tactic, like "communist" or "terrorist" or "arab" or "muslim" or...well...anything except "black", which is conveniently repackaged as "ACORN".

   Niether side actually helps the poor or the working class they all lie and hope you guys buy it.

   Complicated tax codes benefit the rich...who else can afford someone to figure out how to save them money on taxes but the rich?

   Tariffs, sales, and payroll taxes all benefit the rich. The rich will get theres, so the cost of government doesnt matter.

   Regulations often impose huge burdens on small companies, Big companies have legions of lawyers to sort through the mess, what do they care?

   Corporate taxes? Who cares, so long as we make 6% profit, raise prices and cut wages!

   40% of the workers, don't pay income taxes on their labor .... how can you say they're just getting their money back. They never paid taxes.

   Obama will add 101 million to the welfare rolls in a scheme he refers to as Tax Cuts for the middle class. They aren't paying federal income taxes now, but will get refunds.... sounds like welfare to me

   "Atlas Shrugged": The Home Game!

   "neiman": IBD polling data has one of the best track records around.

   I can't wait until the liberal-overweighted LLMM polling tightens up right before 11/4. The "pollsters" of the left will need cover.
