Obama v. McCain On the Issues: Tax policies that reward work

September 5, 2008 by MOMocrats

After all the lies we heard coming out of the RNC, and since the Republicans had their chance yet choose not to talk about REAL ISSUES for an entire week, let's take a closer look at the differences between Obama and McCain's policies that affect working families most.

BARACK OBAMA

• Obama Offers Middle-Class Tax Cuts That Are Three Times The Size Of McCain’s. Obama’s plan calls for reforming the tax code so that it rewards hard work. That’s why the typical middle-class family will get three times more in tax cuts from the Obama plan than under the McCain plan.

• No Tax Increases For Families Making Less Than $250,000. If you are a family making less than $250,000, Obama’s tax plan will not raise your taxes – not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes. In fact, you are overwhelmingly likely to get a tax cut – one that is larger than what McCain is proposing.

Bill Richardson to Raise Money in NM for Hillary Debt?

June 29, 2008 by Democracy for N...

According to ABC News:

Clinton ally James Carville may have called him "Judas" when he endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in March, but that isn't stopping Gov. Bill Richardson D-NM., from offering to raise money to help Sen. Clinton retire her significant campaign debt.

"We've been asked to help. So in principle we are going to help," Richardson told ABC News after addressing members of the Democratic Leadership Council in Chicago at the centrist group's annual gathering. "I think the party needs to come together," he added.

... Gov. Richardson then mentioned that he has seen some hopeful signs of the party stitching itself back together and that he is "going to be involved in a debt event for Sen. Clinton in New Mexico." He later added that the event has yet to be scheduled.
