For starters, McCain's been talking about taxing employer-provided health care benefits for months now.  It's not exactly news.

But nevermind that.  The whole point of McCain's plan is to balance the tax on benefits with a universal tax credit.

It's a shitty, fucked-up, every-man-for-himself free-market-ideologue plan, and we can attack it for being a shitty, fucked-up, every-man-for-himself free-market-ideologue plan, but can we please not stoop to lying about it?!

There's nothing to help small businesses, single folks, capital gains tax cuts to help seniors with dividend income or anyone who sells investemnts to help themselves out of a mess. Add to that that she'd rather run a campaign than to help her son with the ramifications their house fire trauma is appalling.

Capital gains taxes are already ridiculously low. Are you stupid or something? Oh right, you are.
