Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP nominee, is still catching hell for his estimate that it takes an income of $5 million to be rich in the U.S.
First, Sen. Barack Obama’s aides seized on the remark to argue that McCain is out of touch. This is not a stretch for most people. Then the Democratic National Committee cut an ad linking the Arizona senator’s comment to an analysis of how the wealthy McCain family would fare under his own regressive tax plan. Liberal critics are using the topic to remind voters that McCain nabbed his vast personal fortune and multimillion-dollar homes by marrying into wealth with his second marriage.
Now the Obama campaign is looking to keep the gaffe alive, circulating a YouTube clip of Obama personally ridiculing McCain and noting the millionaire mindset explained McCain’s tax plan, which only "looks out" for the super-wealthy:

This is something you need to think about if you are planning to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Do you think McCain cares about the average American? – Think again! In 26 years John McCain voted against increasing the minimum wage 18 times. In the same 26 years he voted for tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of America 27 times. Why should that matter to you? McCain believes in a trickle down economy. You know if the wealthy get wealthier they will share with you. Obama believes in a trickle up economy, higher salaries for workingmen and women. When they earn more money they are able buy or keep homes, resulting in more employment in building trades. They buy clothes for their children, resulting in more Wal-Mart and GAP jobs. They will purchase new trucks and cars that will keep auto workers employed. Now what is better for this nation a trickle down economy or a trickle up economy? This republican is voting for Obama because we have tried a trickle down economy for eight years and look where this nation is now! Could it get any worse with Obama/Biden?
