Three hundred economists support John McCain's economic plan: Economists' Statement on John McCain's Jobs for America Economic Plan Despite the broad support from economists for McCain economics, Obama's campaign criticizes McCain's economic proposals. Unfortunately, Obama's words say one thing, but Obama's proposals would raise taxes on job-creating small businesses, millions of seniors and has even for Americans making as little as $32,000 a year. Obama Pledged Not To Raise Taxes On Middle Class Americans, But Voted In Favor Of The Democrats' FY 2009 Budget, Which Would Raise Tax Rates For Americans Earning $31,850 Or More: Obama Pledged To Not Raise Taxes On The Middle Class. ABC's George Stephanopoulos: "Would you take the same pledge [that there will be no middle class tax increases of any kind]?" Obama: "Well, I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes." (ABC Democrat Candidates Presidential Debate, Philadelphia, PA, 4/16/08)Obama Is Now Considering Reducing Corporate Taxes After Criticizing John McCain's Plan To Do So: The Wall Street Journal Reported That Obama Would Consider Lowering Corporate Taxes. "Sen. Obama's nod to lowering corporate taxes comes as Republicans have been attacking him for proposals that would raise the cost of doing business, such as his pledge to raise the tax rate on capital gains, and his vow to increase the top income-tax rates, which are often used by small, unincorporated enterprises. He didn't say how deeply he would cut the rate, but said it could be trimmed in return for reducing corporate tax breaks, simplifying the tax system." (Bob Davis and Amy Chozick, "Obama Plans Spending Boost, Possible Cut In Business Tax," The Wall Street Journal, 6/17/08)Sooner or later Obama is going to have to stop saying one thing while he is proposing doing something else.
