Sallies putting the candidates tax plans succinctly: McCain is trying to tax representatively, with regards to health care, businesses, and proportionately to the incomes of all individuals, but Barack is like some radio DJ, playing all the favorite tunes: I'll tax the rich, I support the middle class, I will not tax the job makers.  Thing is with Barack, you get talk that is lip service, because the rich are the job makers so his plan is bogus.

    Arvin look at McDonalds: if a franchise owners has to pay higher taxes, in order to remain solvent, they will have to cut cost, someplace.  The first place they will look, to cut cost is with employees; doing more of the work themselves.  However if an owner can afford it, having less of a tax burden, they will generally hire someone, so they'll have time for other needed things.
