McCain talks up tax cuts now (which Jack Kemp points to as justifying his support for McCain), when we all know he fought the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. He claims the tax cuts he voted against should be extended because not to extend them would be the equivalent of a tax increase. No doubt about that, but he supports extending cuts he originally opposed, and refuses to acknowledge he was wrong about it. In fact, he now says he opposed the tax cuts because they didn't come with spending cuts. The truth is (as I've pointed out here before) that McCain's main argument in opposition to the cuts was that they favored the rich.
