Um. Did McCain just say he'd eliminate a tariff on ethanol to fix the budget deficit? Don't tariffs make us money? Eliminating the tariff would worsen the deficit. What a crazy old man McCain is, haha.

No it's a subsidy of ethanol.

You're saying the money made off the tariff is used to subsidize ethanol? I guess that makes sense.

Are people likely to disagree with Obama's idea of "spreading the wealth around" right now?

I'm thinking not.

Well, I guess not. Who needs to work anyway? I can mooch off the rich guy. There's really no need for me to be going to college right now.
I know, I hate how he didnt make community service credit incentives for people to go to college......wait....he did? Goddamnit.

That has nothing to do with it. Why work hard to get ahead if I'll just get hit hard with taxes the more money I make?

How about you try giving a damn about somebody other than yourself?

Because it's not my job to support other people who spent their lives being lazy. In this country, you get what you work for. I don't want to be responsible for having to support people who don't want to work and just want a handout.

We have a fundamental disagreement on this, but IMO, high tariffs are a crapload of sh**t.  I'm not a crazy old man.

Why is McCain still attacking ethanol? Does he want Obama to hit 60% in Iowa? Also, stop saying "goodie" please.

McCain must have decided that this one issue makes him look mavericky.

Oh, I'm not arguing about tariffs; I'm generally pretty mixed about them. I'm just saying that talking about cutting tariffs in response to an answer about fixing the budget deficit is weird.

Obama pretty much negated the "Bush" line with a great comeback...

I'm not a hack at all, in fact I'm pretty much opposite of one, and I think McCain is doing a fine job so far.

McCain isn't very convincing if you pay any attention to the facts.

Did you work for the trust fund that the taxpayers just reimbursed with a $700 billion bailout? Mm.

McCain failed in the town hall meeting that had non-McCain supporters asking real questions.
