Taxes;
Obama will raise them no matter what he says. He'll have to, to pay for all of his new programs (hand outs) he is proposing.
McCain will lower taxes because he believes people should be able to spend their own money....not the government.
Energy:
Obama does not want to drill domestically. He thinks you should inflate your car's tires and our energy problem will go away.
McCain wants to be all inclusive. Drill here, drill now as well as conservation, natural gas, geothermal, solar, wind etc.
