So in light of the recent bashing point email forwards posted, I thought we might try to have a civil discussion on the differences between the canditates on what matters most: money.
I was doing some research and found a report put out by the tax policy center, a non-partisan tax policy think tank formed by the Urban and Brookings Insitute. The link to the report is:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/411741_updated_candidates.pdf
Now, I'm not going to lie and tell you I read the whole report, most was over my head. But two charts really stuck out to me. It's the annual savings in 2009 according to the current tax proposals the candidates have put forward, assuming they are enacted.
According to these, I'll save a pretty sizable chunk of cash if Obama get's elected compared to McCain. Am I (they) wrong?
McCain's Plan:
Obama's Plan:
Please, keep this civil. This thread is not about Iraq, Al Qaeda, or your Mom, just tax policy. Ideally, there will be no name calling, clever name substitutions (Obama/Osama, McCain/McBush), or just random bouts of hate. Please use reason, logic, and if neccessary, sources, in order to state your opinion. In other words, be civil.
