To condense your post, K, both Clinton and Obama would change the tax code back to where it was during the 1990's - more heavily on the higher income brackets.  

You remember the Clinton economy - when the budget was balanced and the economy was going strong.  

I'll take it.

The only reason the economy was strong during that time was that it was based on the "false" Internet economy.  Once that bubble burst, in the last two years of the Clinton Administration, the economy was fast to crash with 2001 being the worst of that "correction period".  I want a real economy...one based on building a strong corporate Amercia...where the small businessman (which makes up most of our economy) can flourish.  Raising taxes on those who take the biggest risk--and who create the most jobs--is not a good idea.

I'd like to see industrial America shine again.  To think that McCain is saying he won't raise taxes is naiive.  You can hold off taxing more of those who take the biggest risks and create the most jobs, just stick to raising taxes on those reaping the biggest rewards

I agree PnJ!  At the risk of raising a major tax debate, I am in favor of a flat tax (with most deductions eliminated)...everyone should pay their fair share.  For example, if the flat tax is 10% (not saying that that should be the amount), then if I make $1,000,000 a year and the flat tax is 10%...I should pay $100,000.  If you make $100,000, you should pay $10,000.  The person who makes $50,000 should pay $5,000.  Those below a certain level, should not pay anything...

I don't see why if I make more money, that I need to pay a bigger percentage of what I earn in taxes.  I want to pay my fair share...not my unfair share.

The recent discussions concerning a National Sales Tax is also an interesting approach.  The tax system is broken and needs to be fixed...increasing taxes on income is not the solution.  What incentive is there for those creating jobs to make more money...to pay a higher rate of tax?  Plug the loopholes for individuals AND corporations...then let's all pay our fair share...
