Thread: Americans prefer Obama's tax plan

As ThinkProgress reported, CNN on Tuesday showed a deceptive chart which wrongly suggests that John McCain’s tax plan provides more Americans with greater savings than that offered by Barack Obama. But CNN’s upper-crust income brackets, which start at $161,000 and represent only 5% of taxpayers, conceal the inescapable truth that Barack Obama’s proposals offer working and middle class Americans steeper tax benefits at every income level up to $110,000. And according to a new Gallup poll released this week, that truth isn’t lost on American voters.


By 48% to 43%, Americans surveyed by Gallup say Obama would better handle the issue of taxes than John McCain. And with good reason. As the Washington Post detailed, an analysis by the Tax Policy Center showed:

“Obama’s plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy.”

And here's the graphic that makes it all easy to understand:

Are people making less than 18000 a year even paying taxes?

You bet your ass they are.

Obama's plan is horrible. The tax the rich mentality is not only class warfare but bad for the economy. The rich are who create jobs. The rich are the compnay owners who supply our goods and services. The rich also do not pay the tax already...they role them over to the consumers of said goods and services. If you tax the rich higher, they will only role more over to the consumer. Why is that so hard to see? It's not the rich that have caused this economic slump. It is the dollar losing strength...and that is due to our federal reseve system.

If you are tired, go take a nap. The jokes will still be here when you get back. I really did not even look at it. It has to be from the left, He has stated he is going to raise taxes alot. I am not for that. And any one who is serious about getting our economy back on track you do not start with a tax increase. That is Third grade economics.
