If you coud get the state to do the same thing, then it will make a difference. I like the idea of raising the dependent exemption to $7000. That is very significant. I like that McCain will continue to support our efforts in Iraq as we need to maintain a strong presents in that region. If people were smart, they would be buying up Iraqi Dinars from Chase bank. If they do what the Kuwaiti Dinar did since the Gulf War in 1992, there will be alot of millionaires made. I think 25,000 Iraqi New Uncirculated Dinars cost about $23. The Kuwaiti Dinar, which was worth about nothing in 1992 is now worth about $3.70US per one Dinar. Start buying Dinars, and I bet you will vote for McCain.

Supply of gas (ie refinery capacity) is stretched thin during the summer. Dropping the tax will increase demand (supply and demand curves anyone?). How do you think the market will correct for that? Hmm, well, the price of gas will go up. So now instead of the money going towards maintaining our interstate highway system, <a href="http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/prnewswire/press_releases/national/District_of_Columbia/2008/04/15/DC19560" title="which actually is a good economic investment" rel="nofollow">, it will just increase the amount that the oils companies take home.

Lower taxes only encourages more consumption - leading to higher prices, and generally speaking more money in the hands of the people that fund terrorism. Regardless of the US's policies on oil exploration, the US will never be self reliant on oil - so why encourage more use of it (unless you are in the big oil lobby). What about innovating to drive a shift away from oil with US companies leading the charge??
