There are two different tax plans in this year’s presidential race. They are raising taxes and lowering taxes. Obama wants to raise taxes and McCain wants to lower them. McCain thinks that if you make money, you should keep it as a reward for your hard work. Obama thinks that if you make money, he should take it from you and give it to less wealthy people to “Spread the wealth around”, as he told Joe the plumber. Also, Obama wants to take money from the people who pay taxes, and give it to the people who don’t pay taxes, and calls it a tax cut. He says that he is cutting social security tax, but it isn’t a tax. Social security is a payment to a retirement program.
