In Defense of John McCain

Via Ari Melber, Barack Obama links John McCain’s tax policies to his odd belief that people earning three or four million dollars are year aren’t rich:

This seems kind of unfair to McCain; if the operating factor here were really a belief in the middleclassness of low-grade multimillionaires, then McCain’s tax plans might phase out benefits for people making $6 million or $60 million or whatever. But in fact McCain has a principled belief in giving you more the richer you are — it’s true that someone earning $2 million a year does better than someone earning $200,000 or $20,000 but someone earning $20 million does even better.
