This is why McCain keeps lying about Obama's tax plan.

1. He's got nothing.

But lies...

2. This is the graphic they should pass out at campaign rallies.

3. I pass it out myself, to whoever wants one.

I love waiting in line these days. :)

4. The last three categories

really get a good break under Obama. That makes me happy since I'm in the $37,596 to 66,354 bracket. ;-)

6. Good news for *real* middle class folks! And working class too.

:hi:



(And :kick: :7)

9. Amen to that too. n/t

[goodgd_yall]

5. Amen!

That's the way it should be.

7. Obama should air this picture and just this picture on national TV.

A 30 sec spot where all you see is this graphic. That would get the message across.

8. That'd be great...

let's hope it ends up in a national spot, a bit closer to election day. :)

10. This would be great to email to all your fence-leaning friends.

This graphic shows exactly who McCain was talking to when says "My friends, Obama's going to raise your taxes." It's pretty clear that we average Americans are not the "friends" he is referring to.

[ahem]

12. Good idea! nt

11. Send it to the "lie counter" site

13. So the only people who would pay more are those making more than 600k,

I'll have to phrase it that way the next time I hear a BS repub talking point about taxes. And, as always I also remind them that a small (bush's) tax cut for the working class , doesn't make up for negative wage growth, higher cost of living or the sinking value of the dollar under repub economic policy.

15. Right, relative to current. But the difference between Obama and McCain's plans ...

... begins around $111k. Below $111k, Obama's plan gives a bigger tax cut than McCain's.

(And above $600k, McCain continues and expands Bush's detrimental tax cuts for the wealthy.)

[krkaufman]

14. Good numbers to remember... $225k and below get tax cuts; $600k and up get increases.

I doubt many Americans, except those in the Country Club First crowd, would have a problem with this.
