Right touting Bush tax cut calculator, but it shows me paying LESS under Obama's plan
It's posted at the Wall Street Journal.

The funny thing is, the Republican plan wouldn't cut my taxes any more than the Democrats in Congress and Obama's would cut mine more.

It's too bad righties aint into math and such, or they might wonder if their politicians are actually only looking out for the rich.

3. You're not the target audience
It is the WSJ after all. For their audience, which makes more than $250,000, they want to see how much it's going to cost -- maybe they'll have to cut back on the Cristal budget.

5. if Obama really wants to put the screws to Republicans, say he'd be willing to keep cuts for
$250-500K, so long as the lost revenue was offset by greater tax hikes for those making more than that.
