McCain's mistake was in focusing on "Joe", rather than the money quote:

folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think
when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Sure sounds like socialism to me.

Surely the rich backers of McCain hate that.

I am fairly well off, and do not mind paying more taxes, so that some
poor mother****er can get a little more educated, of to pay down the
debt incurred during the tests of "trickle down" theory.

Will he make sure everyone "behind him" shares the downside too, if his
business fails like so many do? Unless he's a mortgage banker, it ain't
gonna happen.

I think that it is fairly obvious that employees of a business "share
the downside" to a great extent.
