At the Republican convention next week, Obama will be attacked as a tax-and-spend liberal. Well, he is liberal - in his tax cuts to the poor and middle class. Below is a graphic that clearly shows this.
Let's pause and remember Obama's words from his convention speech.
"It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.
For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy - give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own.
Well it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America."
So get ready for the attacks. Just more of the same.
