Under Obama's tax plan, I will save $500 a year
I took the Florida Congressman's on Tweety advice and went to Obama's site to figure it out.

Have you guys done the same?

BTW - Under McCain's plan, I get a big ole giant goose egg.

5. Silly question perhaps, but if I am single with no children-I have NO dependents, right?

Even though I claim "1" for my exemption

7. correct
well, that's the way I did it anyway.

That's why my savings are so low -- no dependents.

However, if I could claim the cats :think:

13. $1600
from Obama, only $300 from McCain. Plus, Obama may give me up to a $4000 tax credit for my daughter's college and a credit for retirement savings. Obama is brilliant to have this calculator on his site.

14. independent tax policy site -- $970 savings from obama, $40 from mcpain
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 08:22 PM by pitohui
i'm not even surprised because mccain couldn't give a fuck about us, his idiotic health care proposal says it all (let's have even MORE uninsured by taxing people's health plans thru their employers, fuck me, he really doesn't believe that a middle aged working person should be allowed to live if they get sick, does he?)

on the obama site it was rounded off to $1000 savings under the obama plan -- i'm comfortable that it's close to what the independent site said it would be

pretty good for no dependent children...

just please jesus don't let those thieves steal it and pick our pockets AGAIN!

15. That's not why I'm voting Obama
I'm voting to save this country, not to save a few bucks.

Of course, that doesn't mean I want to pay more just to give McCain's rich buddies a big ol tax cut.
