Romney's words speaks volumes

He says of John McCain "there is no way someone who knows nothing about the economy is going to lead this country, and he admits he knows nothing" ouch, now that stings!

I remember back during the primaries ,each candidate pretty much had there own way to fix things. Suprisingly ,each one also said that all the others wouldnt work . Remember Biden saying Obama couldnt lead , on McCain he pretty much praised him and his possible election possibilities . Just curious ,where would O's tax plan put you ? Ie..how much more would you be paying ?

[delta1124]

In my estimation between Obama and McCain tax plans, under McCain I would have to pay tax on an additional 12K due to him wanting to include medical benefits as income, that works out to 4,500-5,000 in increased income tax for my bracket, I understand he wants to add a tax credit, I dont know at this point if there is an earnings cap on that credit or not. Under the Obama plan, 0 in increased income tax for my yearly earnings if nothing changes from whats been proposed.

Well then, looks like I will be better under the Obama plan, if employer paid benefits get taxed under McCain, add 12K to income, a tax credit of 2500.00 individual and 5000.00 married, I'm out 7K, that only if I were to qualify for a credit. So for McCain to make the claim he won't raise taxes, while technically thats correct, he would however readjust income which would require a raise in the level of income tax you would pay.

If you are going to quote emails from a friend of a friend at least try to get this right.

According to snopes.com the tax bill you give for Obamas plan actually match to the penney for the tax bill plan for Clinton in 1999 and at that those numbers are not correct.

Read hear for the truth http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/clinton-bush.asp please would you republicans start to do a little research before you believe every idiotic email you receive, thank you.
