Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain Wants to Raise Your Taxes.
Senator John McCain has repeatedly said, that in order to raise money to pay for his flawed health insurance plan, he will raise taxes on all health insurance benefits received by American workers. Senator McCain will raise taxes on over a hundred million working families. With many companies providing significant medical and dental insurance coverage for their members, hard working American families trying desperately to make ends meet, might have to pay more than $5000 a year more in taxes in John McCain's administration. In hard economic times, this will cripple many families, send more and more Americans into debt; this will cause more hardship, more foreclosures, more personal bankruptcies. And those workers who are in the highest risk categories; the elderly, pregnant mothers, and those with chronic diseases and disabilities will be the one's sharing the greatest burdens.
American companies will suffer greatly, as employees will be forced to need greater wages just to break even. This will cost hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions of American jobs to vanish, and go overseas. John McCain's plan is just another special interests' ploy- helping targeted industries while crippling families and small businesses. Many will have to work second jobs, or work more hours, which will reduce worker productivity and seriously degrade our world-leading productivity at a time when we need it the most.
People who work for local municipalities; teachers, public servants, social workers, municipal hospital staff, sanitation workers, police and firemen will all have to chose. Will they continue to work to help educate, build, care for our loved ones and protect America, or will they have to go out and get other jobs? Is this the America we want?
John McCain wants to raise your taxes. But we have a better solution: Vote for Barack Obama this November fourth, and send John McCain a message. We don't want to pay for his mistakes.
