was linked to me - all numbers are pulled off the taxpolicy.org website - seems to be a trend that a lot of people say "Obama wants to raise taxes" and don't realize that his plan is to repeal the temporary tax cuts put into place, so I found this link helpful in sort of breaking down what his tax plan means for me specifically.

In order to get the message: You will probably not get an Obama Tax Cut; you have to be single, with no kids and making at least $100,000. Guess whatever industry you are in pays really well.

Isn't he raising taxes on capital gains from investments and such though? Those are tax increases for most of the middle class. There's some other crap like that too.

Well I am not sure how unbias the site is, it is after all called "obama tax cut."
There is probably a similar one floating around out there for McCain that gives the opposite responses.
Nonetheless it is a fun little app to play with.

All of the figures come directly from the non-partisan taxpolicy.org website I linked earlier, Diek.
If you're savvy, you can probably come up with the figures yourself.

It says it via that calculator - the website that the calculator is on does clearly have a support for Obama; however, like I mentioned before, all of the stats are pulled from a non-partisan site and can easily be checked.

Gyps...no offense, but websitse can say they pulled information from anywhere. That doesn't necessarily make it true.

no offense taken, because I frequent the taxpolicy.org website. like I said, all the info is there. I think I've posted here long enough for you to know I'm not just some tard who believes everything on the internet is true.
