Because your argument seemed to target the working/middle class. Which the majority of the middle class are in that tax bracket, but since you insist I'll fill in the blanks

100K a year = $1009 under McCain and $1290 under Obama.. Divide by 52 and figure out the amount that'd be weekly on your check.

249k a year = $7800 under McCain and $12 under Obama.. This is where things start to seem off, but we are starting to delve into Business income at this point which really skews it. When people see 249k they think of individual income not realizing small business is lumped in here as well.

Feel free to scrutinize. I anticipate you will.





Now as for people spending the money, and going out to eat. I am not talking about the tips. I am talking about the business owner making money. In the restaurant business in particular, peoples perception of the economy has as much to do with actual wealth in deciding whether they go out to eat or not.
For the majority of the middle class it would be an extra 40 to 80 a month. The economy is not so great right now. So regardless of the tax cuts; by your logic, it won't really make sense if they got a tax cut in if they decide to go out or eat or not. Even if it did.. the extra 40/80 doesn't make a large enough difference to where there would by a pyschological effect when they look at their pay check. I fail to see the point of your argument.


"I notice your thread is particularly aimed at me yet I am the only person currently in the dialogue arguing my point."
uh yeah. your the one arguing your point and that is why i am referring to your argument. Whats the problem?
There's not a problem except that I'm probably the only person who holds some conservative beliefs that's viewing the politics forum at this particular time; but thank you for taking time out to tell me to shut up in a round about way. Unfortunatley it won't work. :thumbsup:
