Google does read meta tags but meta tags do not influence your ranking. It is used for editorial control when there is no legible text on the page. In order, the following are used to control the way your adcopy appears in a google result:
1) DMOZ listing (first choice)
2) Direct text on the page
3) Meta tags (last resort)
Meta tags are basically used when your entire page is made up of graphics and flash or other elements which are not readable by a spider. Don't expect meta tags to influence your rankings though, just the way it appears if you're using a mostly graphical site.
