McCain’s Technolgy Plan, from his website:

http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/CBCD3A48-4B0E-4864-8BE1-D04561C132EA.htm

“John McCain has a broad and cohesive vision for the future of American innovation. His policies will provide broad pools of capital, low taxes and incentives for research in America, a commitment to a skilled and educated workforce, and a dedication to opening markets around the globe. He’s committed to streamlining burdensome regulations and effectively protecting American intellectual property in the United States and around the globe.

....

John McCain Will Not Tax Innovation By Keeping Capital Gains Taxes Low. Cutting edge ventures fail more than they succeed and it takes daring to invest in unproven ideas. High capital gains taxes dampen incentives to create something new. Many will undoubtedly lose money trying to build clean energy technologies. It discourages the effort, to the detriment of society, if the government confiscates too large a share of the profits for those who succeed. “

It will call for a 10% tax credit on wages paid to all research-and-development employees.

Great.. complicate the tax code further. Watch how many jobs now get reclassified as R&D jobs.

If I'm a sole proprietor doing research and development do I get it too?

"At the same time, it will reiterate Sen. McCain's opposition to Internet taxes and new laws guaranteeing net neutrality, the idea that Internet providers must treat all legal Internet traffic equally"

Well, that isn't good. Yet another reason not to like McCain, among many others. I wonder if these politicians and people that are against net neutrality have any clue what would happen to the internet if they had their way. If there wasn't net neutrality from the beginning, THIS website likely wouldn't exist as it is now.
