The false attack ads from John McCain continue - this time one that mistakenly paints Sen. Barack Obama as a candidate with plans to raise taxes. Watch a new video that proves McCain wrong.

Please take a minute to check out a new fact-check video Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has released to correct the record on Senator McCain's latest false attack ad, "Painful."

Numerous independent organizations have found McCain's claims on taxes to be "false," "misleading" and to represent a "pattern of deceit." In the video, Obama's Deputy Director of Economic Policy, Brian Deese, walks viewers through the ad's laundry list of lies, and provides the truth about Obama's plan to give 95 percent of American families a $1,000 tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making less than $50,000, cut capital gains taxes for small businesses to zero percent, and to ensure that no one making less than $250,000 pays a dime more in taxes.
