The sliding scale of objectivity
Brooks Jackson makes a motion for clarify the difference between Obama’s welfare and McCain’s health insurance rebates.
Yes, they are both a form of income transfer from the federal government back to individuals.
McCain’s “tax reform” money will be granted to folks who actually paid health insurance premiums. This transfer is intended to offset costs paid by individuals.
Obama’s tax “cuts” will be given to everyone under a certain income limit, even if they have no income tax liability at all. This is light years closer to an accurate definition of “welfare” than McCain’s transfer.

Regarding “Leading Papers,” Jackson slams McCain’s claim of “leading newspapers” supporting his tax plan over Obama’s. The WSJ and the New York Post are owned by Rupert Murdoch (friend of Hillary). The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is owned by the shady and mysterious Richard Mellon Scaife. Yet the Tax Policy Center, the source of all of FactCheck.org’s background data, is itself a joint venture of two left-to-center think tanks.

i don’t understand your last sentence
McCain’s plan according to his website:
“every family will receive a direct refundable tax credit – effectively cash – of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families to offset the cost of insurance. ”
If “every” family were to receive the tax credit, then wouldn’t include people who have no tax liability.
