Detour to the Future or Dead End?

Here’s how the average tax bill could change in 2009 if
either John McCain’s or Barack Obama’s tax proposals were
fully in place

Barak Obama will:

Eliminate Income Taxes for Seniors Making Less than $50,000:

Barack Obama will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This proposal will eliminate income taxes for 7 million seniors and provide these seniors with an average savings of $1,400 each year. Under the Obama plan, 27 million American seniors will also not need to file an income tax return.

 

Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families:

Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new “Making Work Pay” tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The “Making Work Pay” tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

 

Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans:

Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.

 

Bush-McCain economics: tax breaks for companies that export jobs, but nothing for 100 million households. A plan to privatize Social Security, cutting benefits and piling up debt.

McCain still travels the same road as Bush,  a road to no where.    Obama/Biden travel the road to the future.  Which road do you want to travel on?   Will you take the detour to the future or will you decide to take the dead end road?

Barak Obama looks out for ALL of US, not just the privalaged few.

Peace!
