I don't think this site is accurate. It says I would get more under McCain, but on every other tax formula site (including Obama's and McCain's) I come out better on Obama's. I think this is biassed toward McCain. Don't believe it.

Unless you personally take home more than $250,000 (and 95% of Americans do), you will do better under OBAMA.

  Mine came out in McCain's favor as well.
  
  "Tax cuts for Obama and McCain are calculated by adding the changes in income tax and corporate tax estimated by the Tax Policy Center."
  
  Adding the corporate tax? WTF?

    "Income in the United States is measured by the United States Department of Commerce either by household or individual. The differences between household and personal income is considerable since 42% of households, the majority of those in the top two quintiles with incomes exceeding $57,658, now have two income earners.[3] This difference becomes very apparent when comparing the percentage of households with six figure incomes to that of individuals. In 2006, 17.3% of households had incomes exceeding $100,000,[1] compared to slightly less than 6% of individuals.[2] Overall the median household income was $46,326 in 2006 while the median personal income (including only those above the age of 25) was $32,140"
