It's the economy, stupid.

Those whose income is under $67,000 - 60% of all American taxpayers - would see substantially larger tax cuts under the Obama plan. While McCain’s plan concentrates 58% of its benefits to the wealthiest 1% of Americans, Obama’s rollback of the Bush tax cuts above $250,000 produces tax increases for that group.

Sadly, Obama’s story is not getting through. In the face of the TPC’s analysis showing that 95% of American taxpayers would see savings under the Obama tax plan, 53% of the Gallup respondents wrongly believe their tax burden would increase under President Obama. Meanwhile, despite the same analysis showing McCain’s plan to make permanent and expand the Bush tax cuts would produce a staggering $2.8 trillion in red ink for the federal budget, the Republican still claims the mantle of fiscal discipline.

God, I wish there was a way to make this simple for people. An ad that says "Do you make this much a year? Then Obama will give you a tax break of this much."

It makes me so angry. Don't people remember when Clinton was in office? No, he wasn't perfect, but people had jobs and the economy was good.

I think I'm going to print out a ton of copies of this and start handing them out. The economy is the #1 issue this election season and it's about time we started making people sure know who has their best interests in mind.
