Obama and McCain Clash Over Tax Plans and Economy
Obama and McCain present starkly different tax strategies to fix the economy. Obama targets middle class relief by preserving lower Bush cuts for incomes under 250000 while raising taxes on the wealthy, and redirecting funds to aid for lower earners. McCain favors tax cuts for high earners and corporations to spur growth, aiming for job creation. Both share plans on health care energy and education though deficits loom as 2010 expiry nears and stimulus payments persist.
