The Tax Policy Center has done intensive analysis of the two candidates' tax proposals and their public statements and found that the majority of taxpayers would see more relief from Obama's plan than McCain's. The Washington Post has created a chart that explains exactly what each candidate's tax plans would mean for different income levels, and the analysis points to stark differences.
Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy.
There's even a website, ObamaTaxCut.com, where you can calculate the estimated tax cut Obama's plan would give you--and compare it to what you would see under McCain's plan.
The best opportunity America's working people have to get ahead economically is by uniting to bargain with their employers for better wages and benefits. Some 60 million U.S. workers would join a union if they could—but can't because current labor laws are broken. That's why we're urging passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.
We're the 2.1 million union members who are veterans of military service. We respect John McCain's service—and urge him to respect ours. But McCain has opposed increased funding for veterans health care and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
