 Will Obama raise my taxes?

Change in tax under...

Obama: N/A

McCain: N/A

All numbers are from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. Obviously, you'll note that filling out your taxes is a lot more complicated than just listing your income, filing status, and number of children -- these are estimates based upon the stated policies of the candidates and average deductions claimed by folks in similar economic conditions. Luckily, both candidates promise to simplify the filing process: Obama by filling forms out for you; McCain by introducing an alternative simplified tax structure. The number reported above is the estimated difference between income taxes paid under George Bush's proposed plan and the the taxes under the proposed Obama/McCain plans.
