Obama’s tax plan would offer middle class families three times more than McCain’s.»

According to a non-partisan analysis of the presidential candidates’ tax plans, Barack Obama “offers three times the break for middle class families” than proposals of John McCain, who “would steer the bulk of the benefits to the wealthiest families”:

Families making between $37,595 and $66,354 of annual income with Obama would get an average tax cut of $1,042 per family while McCain’s tax cut for this group would be $319, the report states.

The Wonk Room has more on the study by the Tax Policy Center.

1. but but but... McCain wants to save all the RICH children from estate taxes!

For a few dollars more, we can pay enough to spare the scion of the top %s huge amounts of taxes on the inheritance of wealth they did not earn through their actual labor. We MUST think of the (really, really rich) children!!!!!11!!!1!!

4. If the majority of peons, and I include myself, really listened to what

the differences are between these candidates, this would be one of the sticking points for Obama. I hope they can get this message out loud and clear.
