I'm glad that McCain has offered to continue to look out for that top 1% who get picked on so much. When you're used to your income rising by 1/3 per year under Bush, those huge gains start to feel like an entitlement and as we all know, we can't let the superrich lose a lifestyle that they're "entitled" to. They might get angry and go start a war somewhere. (You might need to magnify the graph a little to notice there is a tiny strip of white space separating the middle and lower class at the bottom, but don't worry. For the sake of simplicity, the Republicans are working hard to stick the two together.)

Now be fair. We can't possibly understand just how hard it must be to be among the uberwealthy (although we seem to be headed to a great understanding of life as lower middle class and working poor).
So many colors to choose from for your jet! How do you pick?
Which home do you stay at? Which servants do you beat? I mean really, it's just a never-ending parade of hard choices!
Not to mention the endless hardship of having to keep track of all the money and yachts (and the hassle of keeping track of all the accountants hired to keep track of all the money and yachts). I do feel tremendous sympathy for their plight.
McCain is not quite sure what it is that he is supporting. Initially he called the tax cuts for wealthy disasterous and voted against them and now he wants to make them permanent. It is like his comment about Al Qaeda and Iran.
McCain is a hero and a wonderful person, but his age and possibel senility should be a serious concern to voters.
He always struck me as something of a true believer--someone naive enough to belief the rhetoric of the right, not realizing that it's mere propaganda. But at this point, he seems to have adopted a much more "realistic" policy. He's in the party who's sole job is to support the super-wealthy after all.
