You know, that's really cool - we're definitely in the lower-middle-class range that would benefit from Obama's tax cuts.
BUT - I noticed that if you select $50,000 per year, the difference between McCain and Obama with regards to tax cuts is negligible... and if you go above that, it stops saying anything at all about "you'll get this much more with Obama than with McCain". So while I definitely feel that Obama is going to help out the lower-middle-class, I still don't think it's doing that much for the middle class. 'Cause let's be realistic here - $50,000/year for a family of five is STILL middle class.
I'm curious to know your take on all that. Admittedly, I haven't done much research into it (because the tax cut/tax refund isn't my main reason for wanting to vote for Obama - I'd still vote for him even if he raised taxes). What do you think?
