Since my parents still claim me as dependent I guess I should answer for my family income. Mccain's plan will slightly benefit us I guess but that is not counting the money saved from not invading Iran. Plus if we get universal healthcare out of it then even better.

If you go by that wrong chart Obama but in reality McCain's plan doesn't raise taxes so him over Obama which will be huge tax increases on people making over $42,000 (and that number could be lower, can't exactly remember).

Obama isn't raising taxes on anyone making under $200,000 or $250,000 for a family. Only way a tax increase could affect lower income families is if he actually goes through with the windfall profits tax.

What Obama says he'll do isn't what his plan would actually do. You think he'd really come out and say he'd do that?

Ooh Mr. conspiracy theorist here.  So what exactly would Obama's plan do since you can apparently read minds now. Seriously, cutting taxes on the rich made sense in the 80's when the top tax rate was 70%. Thus by reducing taxes we actually increased revenues. But see the laffer curve has an optimum level of taxation, which changes with changes in spending. Since we are spending more now ( Iraq), we should have actually seen some tax increases instead of a tax cut. So that led to deficit spending which predictably led to inflation, which is just a hidden tax on the poors and middle class.
