THE TRUTH -- OBAMA ADVOCATES TAX CUTS

There is a message on this board that Obama will increases taxes. Here re the facts -- the truth about Barak Obama's tax vision -- taken directly from his platform.

OBAMA - TAX CUTS

Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief
Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.

Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.

A message to the person who lied on this board about Obama's tax policy:

One of the singular reasons Barack Obama is winning is his honesty. That is why people support him. That is why people won't support Hillary Clinton, a pathological liar. That is why people are turning away from your type of dishonest politicing in droves.

If, on the other hand, you really did believe that Obama would increase taxe, it's a lesson learned. Democracy is very precious. Part of safeguarding it is being informed.

The bottom line-- this plan is bad for the country. People who make minimum wage will pay less-- or no taxes. Those in the upper tax brackets will pay more-- even though they already do on a percent basis. While our new president needs to focus on closing many of the corporate tax loopholes, he better step softly. If not, those companies will move out of country and put more people out of work. Since Obama ran on the "My brother's keeper" platform, that's more people to take care of the in the United States of Socialism.

Important to know about the issues.
