Hey Alum,

I just checked your own source;
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/a_new_stitch_in_a_bad_pattern.html

I'll assume you just read it wrong--you gotta check your facts better, at least read your own sources! Otherwise it would seem like part of the smear campaign I keep hearing the McCain supporters are perpetrating. You're better than that.

From your cited source:

We spoke with Len Berman, director of the nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, which has produced one of the most authoritative analyses of the two candidates’ tax plans. When we asked him if Obama’s claim that he would “cut taxes for 95 percent of all working families” was true, Berman told FactCheck.org that it was “consistent with our estimates.” Overall, the TPC found that Obama’s plan would produce a tax cut for 81.3 percent of all households, and a cut for 95.5 percent of all households with children.
Under Obama's plan, the TPC estimates that people (or couples) making between $37,595 and $66,354 a year would see an average savings of $1,118 on their taxes.

Under McCain's plan, on the other hand, those same individuals would save $325 on average — $793 less than the average savings under Obama's plan.
