The Washington Post breaks down the proposed tax policies of Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain.
McCain's trickle down plan gives ENORMOUS tax cuts to the top 0.1% of earners, but barely any relief to anyone else, unlike Obama's plan which does the following:
If you make $226,981 or less, you'll be getting a significant tax cut from Sen. Obama (up to an average of $2789 a year).
If you make between $226,982 and $603,402, you'll be paying slightly less than you are now.
If you make under $111,645, you'll be paying anywhere from $200-$800 less under Sen. Obama's plan than under Sen. McCain's -- for tax cuts that can average up to $1,290 less than you're paying now.
Again, McCain's false claims about Obama raising taxes are simply that: false claims -- not at all borne out by the facts. The "Repeat your lie over and over until people believe it's true" tactic has worked surprisingly well for George W. Bush -- we can only hope McCain's mimicry of that strategy fails.
