The Candidates, Their Taxes, and their Charitable Contributions

to touch on the economy.... economists cannot deny that BO's stand on it is more "progressive" that what it is now and that JM will actually reduce in some cases.

This article explains it: http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2008/06/comparison-of-t.html

it is true low income families will be better in his tax plan but he is not accurate is stating at what cost and effects it will have on everyone else. this website is unbiased used by universities, by both tax and law people and me. it has no political agenda - just numbers.

Jesus did say that we should take care of out brethren - and we should - but He emphasized that it is for the people to do it, not the government. But more importantly, let's see who actually cares for the lesser of these brethrens through actions rather than words:

Barack Obama's taxes shows below 6% to charities of AGI

John McCain (Cindy not included) shows his contribution to charities is over 26% of AGI

i have found that there is some speculation about his gambling gains headed by DailyKos (Liberal media head),... but it still can;t negate the fact that McCain doesn't pander to the poor and can't show evidence of his gambling earnings but he sure can show evidence that he can give.
