go to Barack Obama and Joe Biden: Change We Need | Obama Tax Calculator and utilize the tax calculator to see how you would fare with Obama vs McCain.


For me, under Obama I would save $1300 and under McCain I would save $100.

Since I'm also saving for retirement, I also might be eligible for up to $1,000 in tax credit from Obama.



Unfortunately the McCain website does not offer a tax calculator.


I'm curious to see how others would fare with Obama versus McCain. Feel free to share.

$1300 Obama, McCain $112.

$150-200k bracket and we'll still see more savings under Obama.

I've said it many times before but I would love a binding "None of the Above" on every ballot.

I'm one of the guys who "might" pay more under Obama, depends on if I withdraw more from my rollover and/or sell some loser stocks in the next two months. But guess what I saved a lot under Bush because he was screwing you low wage guys. I guess it'll all even out in the end.

I can't believe that people are easily SCAMMED!!!

You used a tax calculator from a guy who claims you get savings. Of course, his tax calculator will always give you tax savings!!!!

What you don't know is that he will get rid of all the BUSH tax cuts so it will all be a WASH and you may even owe more.

If you get a $2000 tax cut from BUSH, that will be gone under OBAMA because he will NOT sign to continue the BUSH tax cuts!!!!!

Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire
