McCain's Economy Platform:
Big Tax Cuts, With Caveats
By BOB DAVIS
March 3, 2008

WASHINGTON -- Imagining how John McCain, the Navy war hero, would play the role of commander in chief has been easy. Imagining how John McCain, the policy maverick, would lead as chief executive of the U.S. economy has been tougher.

In a wide-ranging interview last week, Sen. McCain offered the most-detailed account to date of his thinking on economic issues.

Excerpts form Interview-
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1204...?mod=Leader-US

One excerpt-
Quote:
Q: On ABC's "This Week" on Feb. 17, in response to a question, "Are you a 'read my lips' candidate, no new taxes?" you replied, "No new taxes." Did you mean that literally?

A: I'm not making a "read my lips" statement in that I will not raise taxes. But I'm not saying I can envision a scenario where I would, OK? But I'm not making it a centerpiece in my campaign.

I want lower taxes. I want the family to keep more of their money

Pretty wide ranging article on his economic positons as well as the excerpts
( I couldn't find a link to the entire interview there(maybe someone else can)
