A detailed analysis of the candidates' tax plans confirms one of Barack Obama's top arguments against John McCain: the Arizona senator's proposals would offer substantial benefits to wealthy Americans.
An analysis of both campaigns proposals by the Washington-based, nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that for people with incomes between $66,354 and $111,645, Obama's proposals would cut their taxes by more than $1000, compared to around $300 under McCain's plan. But for Americans with incomes above $603,402, Obama would raise their taxes dramatically, by more than $115,000 a year, while McCain would cut them by $45,000.
"The Obama tax plan would make the tax system significantly more progressive by providing large tax breaks to those at the bottom of the income scale and raising taxes significantly on upper-income earners," the group concludes. "The McCain tax plan would make the tax system more regressive.... It would do so by providing relatively little tax relief to those at the bottom of the income scale while providing huge tax cuts to households at the very top of the income distribution."

Seems like Obama is more interested in lowering taxes, than McCain is.

Whether I agree or not with Obama's particular spread there, I do find it interesting that McCain advocates continuing the Iraq war, and suggests the possibility of more wars, and then turns around and pushes forth a tax policy that would give the Federal Government net less money than prior years to pursue such a policy.
Amazing. It's like a three year old.

McCain and the republicans want to make tax cuts permanent, not a bad idea at all, but who and how will our children and their children pay for the $9.5 trillion U.S. deficit and $2 trillion dollar war in Iraq?
I am sure that the republicans will blame the democrats for raising the taxes after mismanaging the national debt for 8 years and for the never ending wars in the middle east!
Thank you Bush:-)

Punishing those who earn annual incomes above $600k by dramatically increasing taxes is extremely counterintuitive. We should encourage all of our citizens to work hard and be productive in our economy. One's income is a clear indication of this. Obama would essentially be punishing the corporate leaders and all of the resulting productivity & ingenuities that are extremely important in modern life. Instead, he would be rewarding the inefficient and lazy.

If trickle down economics works then why is the gap between the rich and the poor the greatest in recent history?

"We should encourage all of our citizens to work hard and be productive in our economy."

"The word "meritocracy" is now also often used to describe a type of society where wealth, position, and social status are in part assigned through competition or demonstrated talent and competence, on the premise that positions of trust, responsibility and social prestige should be earned, not inherited or assigned on arbitrary quotas."
Allow me to repeat, "positions of trust, responsibility and social prestige should be earned, not inherited or assigned on arbitrary quotas."

You are right hedge, I forgot what stellar example of human beings our species produces when given positions of trust and social prestige that they earn.
They certainly need to be rewarded by the system for all the good they have given to humanity.
