Found this summary on the Obama Facebook page but I checked out the website and the summary is accurate according to the nonpartisan Tax policy Center.
The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that Mr. Obama's plan would amount to a tax cut for 81 percent of all households, or 95.5 percent of those with children. The center calculated that by 2012 the Obama plan would let middle-income taxpayers keep about 5 percent more income on average, or nearly $2,200 a year, while Mr. McCain would give them an average 3 percent break, or about $1,400. The richest 1 percent would pay an average $19,000 more in taxes each year under Mr. Obama's plan but see a tax cut of more than $125,000 under Mr. McCain.

Do you know that those who say they're going to pursue an education degree are on average the lowest scorers on college entry exams; SAT/ACT tests?
Some are far better than others but it certainly isn't among the most challenging degrees and of course it does vary by region.
Depending on what you are focusing on in education, it can be a demanding degree.
Perhaps in some states the local high schools are pulling their pools of teaching talent from the local Burger King.
In my area the average teacher makes 65-75,000. So you believe in spankings? Some parents do more than a smack on the butt with their hand, they use belts, wire hangers,etc.
Can someone please explain to me why I (who make less than $20,000/yr) should get to keep more of the money I've earned than my father (who makes significantly more than me) should get to keep of the money he's earned? I really don't get it. If you have earned money, you deserve to keep it or distribute it as you see fit...it doesn't matter how much you made...it should be yours, or at least as much of it as possible.
>>You do not have the opportunity to keep more of your money, in fact your father gets to keep more of his money.
Why do you consider a progressive tax "fair"?
