Obama Calls For New Taxes

"...Obama called for greater government investments “in a renewable energy policy that ends our addiction on foreign oil, provides real long-term relief from high fuel costs and builds a green economy that could create up to five million well-paying jobs that can’t be outsourced.”

He did not mention nuclear power, although in the past he has said he would not rule out a greater role for nuclear energy.

McCain was more gung-ho about nuclear power and expanded domestic drilling for oil and natural gas. When a donor in Richmond summed up his advice as, “nuclear, and drill wherever we’ve got it,” McCain responded: “You just gave my speech. Thank you, my friend.”

McCain added, “Long-term, we’ve got to become used to nuclear, wind, solar, tide, all of the alternate energy, including a battery that will take a car 100 miles or 200 miles” before being recharged.

“Nuclear power, for all kinds of reasons, needs to be part of the solution,” McCain said.

Obama said he would pay for all of his new proposals from sources including the higher taxes on the wealthy and an end to the Iraq war. His aides said he will provide more details as the campaign goes on."

Sounds more and more like Jimmy Carter, doesn't he? Heavily tax those that employ others so that they might pass it on to you and me, and when those 'fat cats' raise prices on us then tax them some more, and when they once again pass it along....and on and on.

More taxes, more government, less common sense.

Yep. just like a democrat. And of course no more nukes or new drilling. That'd soon enough get us out of the fix we're in and can't have that happen because we'd feel less and less like victims.
