Let me be clear - 95% of WORKING families will receive a larger tax cut
under Obama than McCain. I feel that throwing Welfare recipients into
the discussion is a distraction and I am curious about your source for
that conclusion.
60% of all taxpayers make less than $66,700. They will receive a larger
tax cut under Obama than McCain. I am really glad you raised the point,
although again, I am flabbergasted that people still have
misconceptions. Many people claim they don't know enough about Obama
and I shake my head as it appears that in all honesty McCain has changed
his positions so many time on huge issues (even speaking out about
legislation he proposed) that if it weren't so serious, it would be
comical. The information is out there for all to see and know. There
is no reason to rush to judgement about McCain or Obama because an
informed voter can get all the information they need.
If you look at the graphic, the two tax plans are basically inversions
of each other. McCain gives tax breaks to those who do not need it
while Obama's tax plan gives more substantial tax breaks to WORKING
families, those making less that 250K.

From what I've read, the veracity of this statement depends on how
you define "tax cut." Isn't it true that Obama includes in his 95%
the people who currently pay no taxes but will get monetary tax
credits from the federal government? This is how I read what's being
said. If so, then a portion of the 95% is "welfare" and not a tax
cut for working people who pay a fraction of their wages to the
government and think of a tax cut in terms of a smaller fraction.
not taking sides here, just adding info:
