ALL WHO READ THIS BLOG: Who Will Raise Your Taxes???

Having listened to several podcasts and through the insight gleaned from numerous articles, I'm convinced: McCain will raise my taxes and will raise the national debt!!! I'm also convinced that Obama's program is about more spending, which means government will have to raise the money from somewhere. In any case, I took a good look at some sources that you might find useful to dig into and FIND OUT THE TRUTH!

FactCheck.org: Analysis on claim by McCain that Obama will raise taxes on $32,000 earners

If you're making less than $112,000 then get ready to get taxed, but only slightly higher under McCain. That's the reality folks. Recently, I found this incredible website which gets into the the "truth of the matter". Take all the recent comments by McCain and Obama and you get an easy to see rating system. Whether the statement is true or not, this site gives you the facts. And one fact to be mindful of, at least for me: McCain will make me pay more in taxes. Even though that may be true now, I'm one of those Americans that will dig deep to find out the truth!
