HEMPSTEAD, New York (CNN) - John McCain accused his rival Barack Obama of being a "class warrior" as they locked horns over the economy Wednesday at their third and final presidential debate.
McCain, the Arizona Republican, asked why Obama would raise taxes on anybody during an economic crisis.
Obama countered that both he and McCain want to cut taxes, but that his plan would cut taxes for "95 percent of American families," more than McCain's plan.
McCain insisted that the government needed to help keep people in their homes, "putting a floor" under falling home ownership in the face of the mortgage crisis.
Obama, an Illinois Democrat, countered that McCain's plan could end up being a giveaway to "the banks" rather than to homeowners.

So if everybody's taxes get cut, how does he think we're going to pay for buying all the mortgages and building the nuclear plants and paying for the never-ending war? Keep borrowing more money? The reason we pay taxes at all is to pay for running the country. All these tax cuts the Republicans have been pushing for all these years have caused us to have to borrow money to do all the stuff and still our infrastructure is falling apart and our schools are not educating our kids. He's going to balance the budget by giving all his wealthy friends tax cuts? I am a bookkeeper and I know that reducing the revenue stream does not increase the profit.
McCain is giving a weird vibe tonight. I think we are witnessing the begining of the end.
Obama needs to call McCain out on the claim of Obama's vote on raising taxes for people @ $42K
McCain keeps bringing up the same old stuff that we've already heard Obama's responses to. he interrupts. McCain IS old and, his crap is also getting old!
if mccain knows how to do all of these things he says he can why hasn't he introduced any legislation to make these ideas come to fruition
I guess McCain wants to continue to give more money for the wealthy on wallstreet and screw the rest of us in main street!!
Mccain and the repg have looked out for their kind of warriors for eight years.
Its our, regular people time. No more, you and your kind have taken it all. Hopefully we can rebuild wealth with Obama.
Go Obama / Biden 08
McCain JUST said he opposed the war in Iraq!!!!!!!!! What??? Did I hear that right??????
When Obama raises taxes on those evil big corporations, see how many of you socialist liberals lose your jobs.
Obama wants to help the people who are going to contribute to the Social Security base so we can collect our share of social security in the future. Obama wants all of us to earn more and have more. He is not limiting the rich he is encouraging all of us to do better. I liked the Obama stated we all are responsible going forward to making America solvent.

I guess Joe the plumber has a business under the bush administration. I think not since Bush favors sending jobs overseas. Businesses are not making it and are closing down.
Look how much Mcain is winking his eyes a sign of insecurity and lies
What the heck is up with McCain tonight? He looks like a deer caught in Hummer Headlights! Weird.
