Taxes: John McCain vs. Barack Obama
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 08:22 PM by Dark
Income______McCain_____Obama

$2.9 and up_____-$269,364_____+$701,885

$603K-$2.89 mil_____-$45,361_____+$115,974

$227K-$603K_____-$7,871_____+$12

$161K-$227K_____-$4,380_____-$2,789

$112K-$161K_____-$2,614_____-$2,204

$66K-$112K_____-$1,009_____-$1,290

$38K-$66K_____-$319_____-$1,042

$19K-$38K_____-$113_____-$892

Under $19K______-$19_____-$567


In other words, YOU'LL GET MORE BACK IN TAXES UNDER OBAMA THAN MCCAIN.

But the rich? They'll actually have to pay their fair share under Obama's plan. Meanwhile, under McCain's plan, they'll pay less, which means their golden parachutes will be even bigger, along with the number of jobs they outsource.

Vote McCain, and when your job is outsourced, you'll know that some billionaire executive is ensuring that ONE office will have plenty of business: THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE.

1. Who gives a good damn. All you have to do is say, "Look
at what your are paying for everything right now. Do your really want to compare the Democrats raising taxes to what the Republicans have done to the economy, oil prices, the price of goods and services. You are already paying through the nose.Do you want to play that game?" Be my guest. :dem:

3. Ah, but this destroys the whole "Republicans will lower your taxes" meme.
The Dems will lower them further, and give you guaranteed health care.

2. It's important to understand that if America doesn't stop borrowing the economy will get worse.
To stop borrowing, someone needs to pay more taxes or, the dollar's value will continue to fall. So the middle class and the poor will pay higher prices because rich people refuse to pay what they owe.

So the choice is: rich people pay taxes, or we pay the taxes for them through price inflation.
