It's a pretty clear divide. Obama is increasing taxes on the top two brackets and lowering it for almost everybody else while McCain is decreasing taxes for everybody with the tax cuts growing larger the higher the income. If you think it's a good thing for rich people to get richer while everybody else is left to get by on the scraps, then obviously McCain's plan is for you.
Now I'm aware it's become increasingly common for people these days that to think the "reasonable" perspective is to assume the truth always lies between two points of view. In a political context, this often takes the form of "I'm conservative about the economy and liberal about social freedoms." But if you really look at this chart you see that 60% of the population is in the lowest 3 brackets. If that's what's good for the economy than the economy isn't good for most people.

It's about time I've seen some damned facts about this. All we hear is a lot of rhetoric but nothing to back any of it up!
