Guys I'm not anti-McCain I'm anti-Billary.

My point is this - because we no longer have clear left and right as we had in the good ol' days, punters are looking at specifics in terms of a candidate's policies.

While many of us (including me) in the high earning bracket who pay corporate tax, have shelters etc might be happy to have the reduction - the general man in the street is going to react exactly like the British did to Gordon Brown.

This morning Obama and Billary were hitting the tax trail hard.

Gordon Brown was backpeddaling at a rate of knotts.

Those who benefit from McCain's tax cut are a fraction of those who will get pissed off.
