Fact Check on Windfall Profits:
Today, Joe Biden said: “But John McCain will not support a windfall profits tax. They have made $600 billion since 2001, and John McCain wants to give them all by itself separate, no additional bill, all by itself another $4 billion tax cut. … So I hope the governor is able to convince John McCain to support our windfall profits tax, which she supported in Alaska, and I give her credit for it.” [Vice Presidential Debate, 10/2/08]
FACT: McCain has repeatedly opposed a windfall profits tax and his tax plan gives oil companies $4 billion in tax breaks
Fact Check on Renewable Energy:
Tonight, Joe Biden said: “[McCain] voted 20 times against funding alternative energy.” [Vice Presidential Debate, 10/2/08]
