Zero Tax Difference for Married Couple @ $190,000/yr (Kerry vs shrub) WSJ

[cthrumatrix]

This freaks out the repugs. On 8/26/04 the WSJ ran a comparison of the Kerry tax plan vs shrubs (page D2).

There is a chart. For married couple with two children under age ...earning $190,000 year....THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE IS TAXES.


For 95% of America that earns this amount of less.... there is NO Benefit or difference.

It's in the Wall Street Journal so go tell the undecided's ....sing from the mountain top and go burst a repug brain by telling them

the truth.


(under both plans each couple would pay $30,500/year)
