How McCain and Obama will change your tax bill

CNN breaks down the numbers in a tidy little graph. It's clear Obama's tax plan cuts taxes for more Americans than McCain's. Don't believe the lies.

Did you read the same article that you linked to? One of the main criticisms is that McCain's plan cuts taxes for MORE Americans (rich ones) while Obama will raise taxes on the rich guys.

Rich guys might hack you off, but they still qualify as 'Americans', making your above statement false.

another quote you seemed to miss;

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, senior economic adviser to McCain, noted that the report does not take into account the spending reforms - such as eliminating earmarks - that are central to McCain's strategy to support tax relief and help reduce the deficit.

One of the center's co-directors, William Gale, conceded in a conference call that "if McCain succeeds (in achieving his proposed spending cuts), the fiscal cost of his plan does go down."

We do agree on one thing - Don't believe the lies...
