Living and breathing in the Second City
I was going to post on this anyway this morning. BarackObama has posted a clever little “tax cut calculator” on his website. Just enter in your tax bracket, answer a few questions and voila! It tells you how much money you will get back in a “cut.” Of course, this still doesn’t explain how people who are already receiving a EIC tax refund because they don’t make enough to have a tax liability, are going to receive a cut. And since the media doesn’t seem to care about gross inaccuracies (nothing new), I guess we’ll never know.
Another interesting tid-bit about the tax-cut calculator. The ad created to promote the gizmo implies support from a Heritage Foundation Analyst. Needless to say, the Heritage Foundation isn’t too happy about this.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

I wonder if people are calculating their salaries at the higher rate prior to their health insurance being taken out as McCain will do, or if it is inherent in the calculator? I guess it couldn’t be inherent in the calculator and be accurate.
