McCain's plans for spurring economic growth are wishful thinking.

Sure, lowering taxes on businesses will leave them with more money. But do you really think businesses are going to share that extra money by paying their people more?

C'mon now, if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

It'll be the same way it is now - the leaders/CxOs of companies will just continue to take in more and more while wage growth for workers stays where it is.

They didn't get rich by giving their money to others.
