Why do people keep repeating this? Every independent fact-checker agrees
that Obama's plan would reduce taxes for individuals making under
$200,000 ($250,000 for families). Unless they use McCain's definition of
'middle class' being $5 million. I'm still not voting for Obama, and I
don't make enough to pay taxes, so I don't personally care. But I annoys
me that McCain and his cohorts think that repeating a lie often enough
will make it true.
