Alchemy Today: Tax Policy Center releases new campaign summary

  • Michele · 1 year ago
    Hi. I went to the Obama tax plan calculator that you sponsor but was surprised to see that there was a huge gap between the last tow choices of $200,000 and $500,000. I would like to know the answer to how much of a tax cut would occur for a married working couple with 2 kids making $262,000. Thanks.

    There seems to be a 'Donut-hole for Obama:
    Elderly - married
    0 children
    $50,000 income
    Obama: $364.49
    McCain: -$431.43
    For
    Elderly - married
    0 children
    $75,000 income
    Obama: -$47.53
    McCain: -$387.61
    For
    Elderly - married
    0 children
    $35,000 income
    Obama: -$1,152.07
    McCain: -$230.74

    This site is poorly designed.
    There should be prominently a way of contacting the author of content privately without having to make a public post

    Obama's tax plan will destroy the Social Security system.

    Obama says his income tax plan will lower taxes for 95% of Americans. There is just one problem with this, 40% of Americans already pay no income tax. Obama's response to this is that these people pay Social Security tax. Well, that's not income tax, but a contribution to their retirement plan. So if he wins and implements his tax plan, for the first time in the history of Social Security, 40% of the people who will get retirement benefits will have paid nothing for them. Social Security will then loose all pretext of being a retirement plan, and will become a national welfare program.

    This will cause Social Security to lose public support in a massive way. Leave Social Security contributions out of income tax plans. If you take some peoples income taxes to pay others Social Security taxes, Social Security will be destroyed forever.
