If the only difference between the stated policy positions of Obama and Mccain was this one tax policy, then you might make some sense.
As it is I can only conclude that you are really bad at math.
- mseebach 18y agoAs it is, I can only conclude that you are really bad at reading, since my post contains general observations about taxation, and only a brief remark about Obama. In the interest of making everyone smarter, rather than throwing mud, might you care to share where my math is wrong?
- dusklight 18y agoWell okay so think about it this way. If the only change in the system, is that your tax rate gets increased, and the extra money that gets collected is thrown away, and the economy continues on its current trajectory, then what you said makes perfect sense. If the desired goal is "more money in your pocket" then the equation should be money I make - taxes = money in my pocket and assuming we are talking about a guy with a business and not someone taking a salary, the money you make is probably affected by the overall state of the economy. If the action that causes of increasing your taxes also substantially improves the economy, don't you think maybe .. just maybe .. you might make more money overall? What is better? To have a bigger slice of a shrinking pie or to have a smaller slice of a pie thats getting bigger and bigger?
