Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Saturday accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of favoring a socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits McCain says would merely shuffle wealth rather than creating it.
"At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."
McCain, though, has a health care plan girded with a similar philosophy.
McCain has discovered that socialism is a good buzzword with which to accuse his opponent. Joe the Plumber cajoled Obama into admitting that he wants to "spread the wealth around" and McCain checked the polls and realized he had an issue which would rouse his core constituents. Too bad he doesn't understand that nearly all government plans from the progressive income tax which he supports to his "affordable mortgages for all Americans" are socialist.
