Will we let McCain & Co. keep flogging the lie about Obama raising your taxes? No! Fight back now!
80% of Americans would see lower taxes under Obama than McCain, and only 5% would see a real tax increase.
Nothing hits home, though, like seeing how it might apply to YOU.
And the Obama Tax Cut Calculator does just that.

This could be a great campaign tool to use in emails, phone canvassing and face to face canvassing.
McCain has been running hard with the "tax and spend Democrats" charge. And in spite of Obama offering lower taxes to 80% of Americans, people are buying McCain's snake oil.
But with the Obama Tax Cut Calculator, you can show people exactly what Obama's plan would mean to them.
It's as simple as 1, 2, 3. You're talking to a voter with two kids. She and her husband have adjusted gross income of $100,000.
- Enter Married, 2 Earners
- Enter 2 dependent children
- Enter $100,000
Voila: Your Obama Tax Cut is: $2,945.73
John McCain would tax you $71.59 MORE than Barack Obama.
Even at $100,000, you'll pay less under Obama.
Now what about that family making $43,000 that McSame likes to talk about? The calculator doesn't offer that number, so let's round it up to $50,000. Result: Your Obama Tax Cut is: $970.76
John McCain would tax you $210.42 MORE than Barack Obama.
And what about a two-income family with two kids that's struggling with $35,000 in gross income? Result: Your Obama Tax Cut is: $1,408.06
John McCain would tax you $902.27 MORE than Barack Obama.
If you have a Blackberry or other internet-connected device, you could take it with when you canvass, and let people see for themselves how these tax cuts compare.
Or bring your computer when you phonebank and use the Tax Cut Calculator when you talk to people. (Sure people might not want to tell you their exact income, but you could at least pull up a couple of examples or ask them what they might like to see.)
Also, especially if you get any emails about taxes, send them a link to the
