Middle class needs more than just money

While Nick Fitzpatrick's Tuesday article makes some interesting points, he seems to have missed a few fundamental ones. Obama's tax plan calls for lower taxes on the middle class than does McCain's plan.

There is no instant solution to the energy crisis, nor do the Republicans have some magic bullet that will make prices go down. The health care system is fundamentally flawed, and just giving the middle class more money isn't going to solve that.

With all due respect to Mr. Fitzpatrick, the average American cares more about losing his or her job, house and health coverage than about "God, fetuses and guns."

Let's concentrate on the important issues here and not make partisan attacks based upon shaky personal opinions.
