GERM OF AN IDEA FOR AN AD
Hillary Clinton and John McCain agree... they believe the American people want gimmicks not solutions.
They both propose a "gas tax holiday" for the summer, forgetting that people can do the math:
The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents. Has your gas only gone up by 18.4 cents?
And why are gas prices so high?
Is it because of 18.4 cents, or is it because our energy policy has made us dependent on Mideast oil?
Is it because of 18.4 cents, or is it because oil company lobbyists have insured that Big Oil pockets profits while not paying their fair share?
What's worse, as economist Paul Krugman, who worked in the Clinnton White House writes, the gimmick could do more harm than good and comes a day late and a dollar short: "The McCain/Clinton gas tax proposal comes too late [to have an impact]. So it’s Econ 101: the tax cut really goes to the oil companies."
And who is the presidential candidate who has received the most amount of money from Big Oil Lobyists?
It's John McC... Actually, it's Hillary Clinton.
Vote Obama. Because the American people don't want gimmicks, they want solutions.
