An economist on why McCain is the better choice
Steven Landsburg an economist writing at The Atlantic discusses why at this US election he will vote McCain, albeit with trepidation.
Landsburg comes up with some interesting information:-
Obama, by contrast, is in many ways a continuation of Bush. Like Bush (only far more so), Obama is fine with tariffs and subsidies. Like Bush, he wants to send jackbooted thugs into every meatpacking plant in America to rid the American workplace of anyone who happens to have been born on the wrong side of an imaginary line. Like Bush, he wants a more progressive tax code. (It is one of the great myths of 21st century that the Bush tax cuts made the tax code less progressive; the opposite is true. If you are in the bottom 38% of taxpayers, you now pay zero income tax—and therefore have an incentive to support any spending bill that comes down the pike.) Like Bush, he wants more regulation, not less.
Adam suspects that he like Landsburg would vote McCain despite some concerns, rather on the basis of the lesser of two evils.
