McCain's "health care" plan...
Ok, look, I haven't studied it that much, but I find this one fact completely appalling:

Under McCain's health care plan, all employer health care contributions will be treated as taxable income.

And, for a family of four, the national average is $12,500. That would be "offset" by a tax credit of $2,500. So, while McCain says Obama will raise taxes, McCain himself will be the one increasing the burden on the lower and middle classes.

Shocking, just shocking.

1. I once saw a sig line on a usenet group that I'm quoting for truth
It said "The Republican health care plan: don't get sick".
