What McCain needs to say to the American People at his closing debate speech.
Title: Imagine
My fellow Americans, in these difficult times I ask for YOUR vote Nov 4th. Senator Obama WILL bring change- you can be sure of that. Unfortunately it’s the change America doesn’t need or can’t afford. Imagine an Obama-Biden Democrat administration, unchecked and encouraged by a guaranteed Democratic House of Representatives led by Nancy Pelosi, and a filibuster proof Democratic controlled Senate led by Harry Reid. If Senator Obama wins he and the Democrats will have at least 2 years, if not 4 years to implement sweeping and irreversible changes in Healthcare, Taxes, Economy, Judicial Nominees, Gun Control, Medicare, and Defense Spending. Imagine. Imagine electing a Senator more liberal than Jimmy Carter, than Ted Kennedy, than Michael Dukakis. This Country needs to look forward not backward. Do we want a health care system which resembles that of Castro’s Cuba? Do we want Banks, Oil and Gas Companies taxed out of existence or wholly nationalized like Chavez’s Venezuela? The change I propose is more modest. I will lower taxes on all Americans. I will not create class welfare – pitting neighbor against neighbor – friend against friend. I will lower the capital gains tax to 7.5% to spur growth and create jobs. I will solve this nations dependence on foreign oil with 4 years and stop sending half a Trillion dollars overseas to dictators and monarchs who care less about our well being. The best and quickest way to reduce that dependence is expanding existing Nuclear power plants and building new ones. Creating millions of new jobs in the process. Encouraging new solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy producing facilities. Giving immediate tax breaks to companies building or researching these technologies and I will offer any American who builds a new home or retrofits an existing one using these new technologies to fully deduct the cost on their taxes. Imagine. Imagine a government that is responsive to the people. Imagine a government that you can trust again. Imagine a government that shrinks in size every year. Imagine a government that does more with less. Under a McCain-Palin administration it will happen. My fellow Americans I ask for your trust and your Vote. God bless you and these United States of America.
