Question: Whose tax plan is better for 80% of American families? Obama’s or McCain’s?

Because according to the Tax Policy Institute, Obama’s plan would cut taxes for 80% of households. Another 10% would see no change in their taxes from today. And the wealthiest 10% would see an increase in their taxes. Furthermore, Obama’s plan would save middle-income families more than with McCain’s.

Here’s a chart from the Washington Post comparing Obama’s plan with McCain’s:

Obama has said that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts for people making over $250,000/yr.

For middle-income families, Obama has pledged that you will not see any increase in your taxes, not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax, not any of your taxes.

Barack Obama has pledged as such in his recent speech in Dover, NH (go to time 1:05 in the video):

Answer: Leftist refuse to understand that 250 K number also applies to business. Small business runs America. So, when they get slammed with a 10 to 15 point tax hike how do you suppose they will pay for it?

Layoffs and huge price increases. How is that good for the economy and for the American people.

The unemployment rate under Bush is the lowest its been in decades. Lower taxes and it creates jobs and gives money to the people to spend.

Raise taxes and it cuts jobs and gives the money to the Government to waist on endless feel good social programs that benefit few.
