Voting Candidates On Technology Issues

“John McCain on Technology:

“Ban Internet Taxes: “We must make a farsighted, robust, and
fervent commitment to innovation and new technologies to sustain
our global competitiveness, meet our national security
challenges.””

“Barack Obama on Technology:

“”On research funding in technology, “We can’t just focus on
preserving existing industries. We have to be in the business of
encouraging new ones–and that means science, research and
technology. For two centuries, America led the world in innovation.
But this Administration’s hostility to science has taken a toll. At
a time when technology is shaping our future, we devote a smaller
and smaller share of our national resources to Research and
Development. I’ll double federal funding for basic research, and
make the R&D tax credit permanent.””
