Check out this remarkably clear graph that compares Obama's tax plan to McSame's in the most visually efficient way I've seen so far.
I have found no better weapon to battle the poor fools who continue to buy the Republican LIE that Obama will raise their taxes.
SHOW PEOPLE THAT OBAMA'S PLAN RAISES TAXES ONLY ON INCOMES OF MORE THAN $603,402.
Source: I found it on a little site called www.countryclubfirst.com, which in turn reports it from the Washington Post article on an analysis conducted by the Tax Policy Center
The graph saves nicely as a .gif image and can be easily deployed to demonstrate to friends and enemies alike that Obama will not raise your taxes if you make less than $603,402.
It also clearly shows how McSame's largest tax cuts are reserved for the wealthiest 0.01%, while Obama's plan is weighted toward the bottom.
For the vast majority of middle-class voters making between 38 and 112 thousand, Obama's cuts are slightly higher than McSame's.
But the most extraordinary datum of all is to found at the bottom of the graph: McSame's average cut is 2%, or $1,195 for every taxpayer, which looks good, right? Especially by comparison to Obama's average cut of 0.3%, or $160. McSame's apparent munificence is due, of course, to the vast size of the cuts going to the uber-wealthy, which brings up the national average. In reality, poorer Americans won't see anything near $1,195 - and to prove it I can say "(see the graph)", which is what's so great about this graph! The McSame camp is using these figures to con people into thinking they'll get more than they will from Obama. They won't. The figures also reveal that McSame's plan will cost the nation 7.5 times more than Obama's in lost tax revenues, but that's a more complicated issue for another diary by someone who can explain it better than I.
All I'm doing is asking you to copy this simple image, print multiple copies, keep it handy. When your mother-in-law, or the crossing guard at your kids' school, or your non-millionaire work colleagues tell you they can't vote for Obama because he's gonna raise their taxes, whip this bad boy out of your pocket and show them that he's not.
Slip it under people's windshield wipers.
Have stickers made and slap it onto lamp posts.
Email it to all your contacts.
Don't let McSame continue to lie about Obama's tax plan!
