I guess that's fair. :-) I just listened to someone explaining Obama's tax plan in English (so I sorta understood it). According to the source, slightly over 40% of taxpayers will pay *no* taxes, yet a large percentage of that group will get a refund check every January. Cool, huh? Another thing I can't get straightened out in my simple head. Obama claims that 95% of US citizens will have their taxes reduced according to his plan. Yet, over 40% don't pay taxes at all. How do you get 95% out of 60%? Is this the *new* math that I missed? Eisboch |

It'll never make the major media, but the fact has been known for quite a while. Why McCain has not commented on it is beyond me. Maybe he's afraid of hurting the feelings of the 30-40 percent of Americans who pay no taxes. -- A Harry Krause truism: "It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!"

Eisboch Pretty simple 40% pay no taxes that leaves 60% 95% of 60% is 57% 57% will have their taxes reduced. 95% of the remainder will have their taxes cut. That leaves 3%. I'm guessing that that 3% level is Around $200,000 annual income. I think I've heard Barry suggest a number somewhere around that figure. I don't blame Barry for what comes out of his mouth. It's his speech writers that do all the cyphering. And we know all about speech writers, don't we. ;-) |
