We talked with Maxine Pelletier of Westbrook, ME, a single working Mom. Ms Pelletier is a lifelong Republican who plans to vote for John McCain. The main reason for her voting decision, she says, is that Obama is going to raise taxes, and McCain isn’t. “We don’t need anymore taxes,” she says.
“You must be doing pretty well at your job waiting on table at the Westbrook Diner,” we said. "The taxes will be raised on people making over a quarter of a million dollars a year.”
She conceded that she wouldn’t come anyway near that much money, but there are other parts of McCain’s tax plan, she insisted.
“You mean like cutting the tax on capital gains. You must have done pretty well in the stock market.”
“Are you kidding?” she asked. “Where would I get money to put in the stock market? But I like what Senator McCain says about eliminating burdensome regulations on business?”
“The country wouldn’t be in the mess it is today if the Bush administration had applied more regulation on the4 housing and credit businesses.”
“Well, McCain is going to give us a $5,000 medical tax credit.”
“He’s also going to tax the cost of the medical insurance your company pays. It will end up costing you more for insurance.”
“Anyway, I trust his judgment.”:
“Sarah Palin.”
