For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: McCain calls Obama's tax plan socialist.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Saturday accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of favoring a socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits McCain says would merely shuffle wealth rather than creating it. "At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."
Although most right-thinking and impartial Americans would have to agree with McCain's position, isn't ita little late in the campaign to start saying this? Why didn't McCain and Palin hammer on this right from the beginning of September rather than waiting until two weeks before Election Day to tell the voters the truth about Obama? Did it really take a plumber to wake the Republican presidential candidate up to what most of us have known since Obama gave his keynote speech at the 2004 DNC?
Or is it better late than never?
