Obama Distortion II
Wyatt Andrews explores:
It's one of the most explosive and
important political charges of the election: "He wants to tax your
health benefits," Barack Obama said.
Obama's charge was that that John McCain wants to tax the health insurance benefits Americans buy through employers.
"That's a $3.6 trillion tax potentially increase on middle class
families," Obama said. "That will eventually leave tens of millions of
you paying higher taxes."
It's a little complicated and Obama slips in that "potentially" to avoid a Palin-style lie, but it's still clearly fear-mongering and unfair.
