Obama's silence on taxes is a bit puzzling, because independent analyses of his plan compared with John McCain's well-advertised tax cuts show that the vast majority of Americans would be better off under Obama than McCain.

Early Saturday, the Cook County Board voted 9-8 to raise their sales tax by a percentage point, to 10.25 percent, making it the highest in the country.
