Washingtonpost.com's The Trail blog, CNN, and CBSNews.com each repeated Sen. John McCain's false claim that "[i]f you are one of the 23 million small business owners in America who files as an individual rate payer, Senator [Barack] Obama is going to raise your tax rates." In fact, Obama has proposed rolling back President Bush's tax cuts only on "people who are making 250,000 dollars a year or more"; according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, only 481,000 small businesses fall into the tax brackets that would be affected by those increases.

  • What about taxes on investment and corporate taxes? Do you really think raising taxes (ANY TAXES) when the economy is struggling is a good idea? I mean even the tribal chief in the most primative society knows that when you get low on clam shells and rabbit skins you don't take them away from those that have them and give them to those that don't. You organize a hunting party and go get more clam shells and rabbit skins. This is basic economics that the left doesn't seem capable of comprehending.
