Taxcutfacts.org Shows Obama Tax Cuts More Than McCain

Follow us on Twitter

A new project called Taxcutfacts.org shows that the Obama tax cut will benefit more Americans then the one offered by John McCain.

Taxcutfacts.org actually leads to http://taxcut.barackobama.com/, which is part of the Barack Obama's campaing website. The point is to show how Obama tax cut could benefit many Americans.

The tax calculator at Taxcutfacts.org shows just that.

"Barack Obama and Joe Biden will cut taxes for 95% of working families, and provide at least three times as much tax relief for middle class families as John McCain and Sarah Palin. The Obama/Biden plan provides $1,000 of tax relief for workers and new tax benefits to help families pay for college, childcare and save for retirement."

Taxcutfacts.org also quotes various types of news sources explaining what the media has been saying about the Obama Tax Cut plan.

"Obama is not proposing to raise taxes for most Americans. To the contrary, he would triple the earned-income tax credit for low-wage earners, increasing work incentives at the bottom. He would cut taxes on people in the middle -- indeed, he would do so more aggressively than McCain would." [Sebatian Mallaby, Washington Post, 9/8/08]

Rea Hederman Jr., a senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation "said the middle class would likely pay less under Mr. Obama's plan than Mr. McCain's." [NY Sun, 8/15/08]

Obama’s tax calculator is “a very simple gadget that’s the most useful thing I’ve seen on any political website in a while.” [Forbes.com, 10/08]

When I saw the above comment by another person emailing you with the same complaint, I clicked on that to look for your reply, in the hope that that would show me where to find the calculator.- No such luck!

We won't need to worry about tax cuts because Barrak Obama supports all forms of abortion in all stages. That means he approves pulling a baby halfway out and killing it, then the former mother can go home and get on with her life with a dead baby in the trash can at he hospital. You decide, tax cuts are the least of our worries!

Unbelievable, he must not believe in God. God made that life and if there is a reason that it doesn't go full-term it should be God who takes away life. Terrible, Terrible. This is a sin!!!!!!!!

Abortion should be offered to women in pregnancy that were raped or their child has a fifty percent chance of having a serious or deadly disease. The reason I say this is for the fact that if your raped and become pregnant, then you are forced into motherhood or giving the child to the government. So say that a 14 year old girl is raped and becomes pregnant, abortion is the best escape from a nightmare that has consumed the girl and the child would not have the best chance to live the dreams he or she wants or believes in. Plus, there is also the other fact that the child could live with a serious disease that hurt their chances at living in peace. Then how the people around them think of them. Because if you really cared about your child, would you let them come into a world that bullies these children to a point where they might think of killing themselves or of themselves as worthless, stupid, pieces OF S***. Thank you for reading this so that you may think of abortion as an option to those who really need it so their life does get totally destroyed.

abortion, pfft, what about the kids that are already here?????

I am so sick of people arguing about abortion, and the ones that feel that the unborn are the only ones that suffer? are suffering now as I type???

Shame on you!!! what about the kids that are here NOW!! they need more help then ever before.....

I see it all I am a social worker and believe me life is never fair! Who suffers????

Many many more then you can even think off, obviously i have disdain for someone who cries SIN!! AND seems obsessed with this issue,,,all to the sin of pride, and passing judgment on others while you pass the buck; ignoring what real christians say and do...............

Obama does not support abortion at all stages. In fact he has said he would sign a bill against late term abortion if it provided for the LIFE and health of the mother. The Supreme Court has already that any law without those provisions would be unconstitional. That is more than you got under Bush.
Read the true source:Ex 21:22 If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman's husband shall require, and as arbiters shall award. Ex 21:23 But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life.
I do not understand you folks. Under old Jewish law you were not considered alive until you drew your first breath of life, than you were a living soul.

Get real people, is this the best you can do. All of you with your abortion cry have no problem spewing hate and acepting killing in any other form. Starving the poor, war, bombing clinics. Hypocrite from the word go. If you have to vote for a president based on one issue, just stay home because you will never agree with anyone on everything.

Will you people get off of it! If someone was going to take a baby half way through the term, don't you think it would be the mother's decision to do so? Don't blame Obama, blame the mother who would be the sinner. I had to terminate a pregnancy due to fact I would die if I went to full term. There are medical reasonings why people do the things they do. And besides, who are you or anyone else to make judgement on them? Or are YOU the Christ Jesus we believe in? I think not. Don't be the one who throws the stone first at a glass house.

I am a Christian I love GOD but tell me this Bush (R) has been in office for how long now and how many abortions were done during his time in office? Don't make this a presidential issue it is WRONG but the person who makes the choice to do it has to live with the punishment from GOD later so grow up alittle bit and think about it instead of putting down one man for his believes! People make the choices in their lives not Obama!

Motherless's picture

I was 10 years old when I lost my Mother to an illegal abortion in the 1950's. My parents made that decision together; they thought they were too old to have another child. In hide site; a bad decision.
My preference: Keep terminations of pregnancys legal, clean and done by professionals. Under those conditions; I would have had my Mother; a loss no child should have to endure.

There have always been abortions and there will always be abortions. (Legal or Illegal) The only difference will be; should a woman, a family, a spouse or a child, lose one of the (2) most important people in their lives?

Pro Choice & Legal is the only answer.

I couldn't find it either...

I came to the site after I saw the add. I filled in the info and our proposed cut with Obama is the standard 1000.00 that everyone seems to see no matter what they put in the calculator. The savings if McCain was 967.00. That is no where near the 0 many say they get. So, how accurate is this calculator, who knows.

The Obama/Biden plan may provide $1,000 of tax relief for workers and new tax benefits to help families pay for college, childcare and save for retirement. I'm sure then this maybe ~$1,000 is going to help families pay for college, childcare and save for retirement. Remember its a wopping $1,000, so don't use it all in one place. Address the real problems and quit tring to throw money at it. God does anyone belevie this or is everyone just that stupid?

The TV story said this information was provided by an independent fact based organization. If one has to go to the Obama site to use the calculator, then the TV story is a lie.
