Where McCain's income matters

Yglesias points to how McCain’s Tax Cut would mean that Cindy and John would get tax cut of over 370 thousand dollars. The Obama's would make out better under McCain's tax plan too.

I think it matters because our whole wealthy class has become like Israel when the Prophet Amos called them to account. Taking and taking, piling up more money for themselves and letting the poor suffer on their own. They seem to have lost their soul.

Amos

6 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals— 7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and push the afflicted out of the way; father and son go in to the same girl, so that my holy name is profaned; 8 they lay themselves down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink wine bought with fines they imposed. NRSV
