McCain Clarifies His Tax Stance

Tagged: • 

‘I Will Not Raise Your Taxes’The Associated PressJohn McCain says he will not raise taxes or support tax increases as president. McCain is campaigning in Colorado.

Unlike many here I believe McCain is right in believing nothing should be off the table in order to fix Social Security I just don’t think he should be saying it out loud during a campaign were he doesn’t have a forum to nuance the answer. His answer should have been NO! It should have sounded like this on Sunday.
