The Moral of a Tax Plan
The following quote from a reader’s email to Talking Points Memo:
But here’s what’s really interesting. Obama’s proposals would raise his own taxes by hundreds of thousands of dollars, in order to cut the taxes of people who are less fortunate than he is. McCain would cut his own taxes even further than they’ve already been reduced. And that’s everything a voter needs to know about these two men.
I’ll recommend again that you check out the Washington Post’s graphical comparison of the two’s tax plans. I know I need it presented in such a way to grok this stuff. I hate math, and the moment folks start throwing around numbers my brain poops out my butt and runs away in cold sweats. We all got our educational blind spots. Math be mine.
