I believe the most insidious lie that has percolated across the country is that Obama will raise your taxes. In almost every TV ad, John McCain, when referring to Obama, uses the phrases "He will raise your taxes." It was also repeated ad nauseam at the Convention last week. And we know that there is a viral email circulating that also pushes this idea. http://www.factcheck.org/...
It is time to push back with all of our might. We are 180,000 strong, Kossacks. We can push back to our family, friends. We can push back to the media. Ezra Klein, a few days ago, suggested the press ask McCain if he could explain Obama's healthcare plan. I would like to steal this idea and apply it to the tax question. My goal would be to have the press ask McCain one simple question:
"Senator McCain, you say that Obama will raise taxes. Whose taxes will he raise? Can you explain Senator Obama's tax plan to me?"
And if he can't answer, the plan should be explained to him, and then he should be asked again, what he thinks of it.
Follow me over the fold for more details and ideas for action.
