Calculate Your Obama Tax Cut
http://alchemytoday.com/obamataxcut/

From:

Calculate Your Obama Tax Cut

Calculate your Obama tax cut here. (The methodology is explained here.)


http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/political_news/index.html


From the methodology link above:
If you want to explain the differences between the bottom-line effect of the Obama and McCain tax plans to your friends and family with simple numbers, these are the key points:

* Obama will cut taxes for 95% of Americans
* McCain will tax 80% of Americans more than Obama
* Obama will only increase taxes for the top 1% of incomes; and this isn't really an increase: he's simply going to let the Bush tax cuts expire

repubs thought I'd sell my vote for. Obama will give me twice that amount.

It's still not for sale. I don't care about tax cuts, I care about issues.

8. Dang, I already thought I was undertaxed . . .
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 02:55 AM by MrModerate
And this says my taxes will go down more 'n $5800. Not sure of the methodology (the granularity gets a bit rough near the ends of the scale).

9. 980.92
and, according to this, I would be taxed 179.33 MORE by that goddamned republican asshole.

I didn't need this to make up my mind about who I'm voting for in November, it just makes my resolve higher.

10. I'm bad at math...

Your Obama Tax Cut is: $480.98
John McCain would tax you $456.11 MORE than Barack Obama.


I have no idea what this means, except that one number is bigger than the other and that in the end, my student loan payments will eat all of it up.
