McCain's economic plan boosts ratings
By Grant Swank

John McCain says: "I will keep tax rates low.

"Entrepreneurs are at the heart of American innovation, growth and prosperity. Entrepreneurs create the ultimate job security — a new, better opportunity if your current job goes away.

"Entrepreneurs should not be taxed into submission. John McCain will keep the top tax rate at 35 percent, maintain the 15 percent rates on dividends and capital gains, and phase-out the Alternative Minimum Tax.

"Small businesses are the heart of job growth; raising taxes on them hurts every worker."

Every time John McCain returns to economic agendas he boosts up with the American voting public.

He does have a comprehensive economic projection that lifts the American lifestyle while B. Hussein Obama's tenure in the White House will bring unbelievable taxes upon the nation.

McCain's projections will create millions of viable jobs. He will support small businesses in particular. He is sensitive to workplace flexibility.

He will secure the Republic's energy base — cheap and clean energy.

He will show the country that the government's budget can be put in order.

He will slice government spending.

He will work successfully in ushering in relief to consumers.

He will stabilize better healthcare.

He will guarantee simpler and fairer taxes.

He will lower barriers to trade.

Naturally Sarah Palin will be expert in all of these initiatives, particularly the Republic's energy base. In addition, she is a champion in cutting government spending and returning the government to the people, the latter a repeated refrain in her speeches. Moreover, her leadership has proven this to be true.

The McCain-Palin plan is all about "government reform," an accent punctuated by both.

John McCain in particular states: "I will balance the budget by the end of my first term. The near-term path to balance is built on three principles:

"Reasonable economic growth. Growth is an imperative — historically the greatest success in reducing deficits (late 1980s; late 1990s) took place in the context of economic growth.

"Comprehensive spending controls. Bringing the budget to balance will require across-the-board scrutiny of spending and making tough choices on new spending proposals.

"Bi-partisanship in budget efforts. Much as the late 1990s witnessed bipartisan efforts to put the fiscal house in order, bi-partisan efforts will be the key to undoing the recent spending binge."
