rssObama: McCain Is Bush-Loving, Tax-Hiking Cartoon

Sen. Barack Obama’s latest TV ad attacks his GOP rival for raising taxes on health care, based on a sharp exchange from the VP debate.
It’s an unconventional tack, because many “low-information” swing voters assume Republicans are better on taxes — and no one likes pushing a message up a hill.
This tax offensive, however, first started on YouTube.
The Obama campaign launched a video Wednesday that busts out the crayons against McCain’s tax plan.
The online ad, tittled “Color by Numbers: Bush-McCain Tax Plan,” takes a creative approach to criticizing McCain’s “country-club economics.”
PRODUCTION NOTES: Spare strokes on an acoustic guitar accompany this child-like tour of McCain’s tax plan. The plodding pace and “coloring” sound effects probably won’t translate into a viral hit, but the message does not seem tailored to persuade, anyway. But the video is already pleasing some supporters. “LOL McSame is done,” wrote CupofJoJoBeans, a commenter on Youtube.

This is clever! Any ad that keeps hitting McCain on the economy will be effective. Keep at it! I've never seen an ad like this that grabs the attention of the viewer and dispenses quite a bit of information in 30 seconds.

Obama's tax plan will destroy the Social Security system.
Obama says his income tax plan will lower taxes for 95% of Americans. There is just one problem with this, 40% of Americans already pay no income tax. Obama's response to this is that these people pay Social Security tax. Well, that's not income tax, but a contribution to their retirement plan. So if he wins and implements his tax plan, for the first time in the history of Social Security, 40% of the people who will get retirement benefits will have paid nothing for them. Social Security will then loose all pretext of being a retirement plan, and will become a national welfare program.
This will cause Social Security to lose public support in a massive way. Leave Social Security contributions out of income tax plans. If you take some peoples income taxes to pay others Social Security taxes, Social Security will be destroyed forever.
