Presidential candidate John McCain’s campaign is running ads that say Senator Obama proposes “painful tax increases on working American families.” Senator McCain lately has been telling Americans that “Senator Obama will raise your taxes.” These statements show either a proud ignorance or a willful dishonesty.
Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ) does not think that new tax cuts will improve the lives of ordinary Americans, but we do feel that the public should receive accurate information about the tax cuts both candidates are offering. We respectfully ask that Senator McCain act honorably and avoid attempts to mislead the public about his opponent’s positions.
