This chart is from CNN. The median income in the US is $40,000. 80% of all households make below $100,000. That means that for 80% of the country Obama will lower their taxes. Shouldn't that mean that Obama will win by 80%? Also look at th 2.9million number. McCain lowers their taxes and Obama taxes them more. Those that have should help those that don't. BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS 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.
