I have deeply held beliefs about Obama, however I will leave my ranting out of it and simply leave it to Business Week to lay out this about the plans on the economy that are put forth by McCain and Obama.

Len Burman, a former Treasury tax official who is now a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, says if Obama’s proposals—which include plans to rescind the Bush tax cuts on couples making more than $250,000, close corporate tax loopholes, and tax private equity earnings known as “carried interest” as ordinary income—were adopted in 2009, for example, married couples with earnings in the lowest quintile of the population would see their aftertax income rise 5.8%. Those in the next quintile would see an increase of 4%. Those breaks would be paid for by those with high incomes: the top 1% of taxpayers would see aftertax income fall 8.4%.

Under McCain’s proposals, by contrast—including an extension of the Bush tax cuts for all taxpayers, a corporate tax cut, and a larger reduction in estate taxes than Obama would support—far more of the benefits would go to the top. If his plans went into effect in 2009, married couples in the bottom fifth of the population would see aftertax income go up just 0.2%, while those in the next quintile would see a 0.7% hike. But those in the top quintile would see a bump up in aftertax income of 2.7%.

So tonight many things happened in Florida, John Mccain won a primary over good ole Willard “Mittens” Romney, and we finally don’t have St. Rudy of 9/11 to push around any more, oh the democrats answered the age old question of “what would happen if we had a primary but no one campaigned?” And Hillary’s website answered that question with this:

Which is total bullshit, until recently she hadn’t even mentioned Florida, and now she’s acting like she won a contested primary. For those of you not in the know, Florida moved up its primary, the DNC said that was a no, no but the Florida dems did it anyways, and in response all the democratic candidates agreed not to campaign there and also to not allow the Florida delegates to be awarded or seated. Same thing happened in Michigan with the same result, Hillary proclaiming she won the primary.

She will do whatever it takes it seems, even deploy the soft racism of Bill Clinton. We don’t need a win at all costs president, we need a president who stands for something. Not only for the ideals of the left, but someone who stands for us, a president who wants to truely unite the country. What we need is change, a departure from the failed policies and bickering of the past, we need someone who can really provide the one thing that has become a buzzword in this election, change. What we need is:
