if you think you dislike obama's tax plans...

... please consider this summary, which shows that you have little to worry about unless you make over $600k a year.  And if you do, you probably have little to worry about anyway, you rich fuck.

It's those of us

around the 60th or 70th percentile (and, more importantly, all those who imagine they would be if they could just get the millstone of the government off their necks) who are worried about getting Obama's measly 1.8% break instead of McCain's whopping 1.4%. Uh, wait.

It would be interesting to draw the bars in dollars rather than percentages. That big increase for the super-rich in Obama's plan would be two hundred times the big tax cut for the poor, while the big cut for the super-rich in McCain's would be two thousand times his tiny tax cut for the poor.

I find it vaguely astonishing that I'm actually not rich enough to be hurt by the difference between Obama's plan and McCain's. Especially when you factor in McCain's plan to tax generous employer health benefits. I'd be all altruistic and support Obama even if his plan were whacking my income a bit, but I actually don't have to be.
