Re: Calculate Emptor

Regarding ObamaTaxCut.com, if the TPC has any criticisms in how I present your data, please let me know at zach at alchemytoday.com.
Specifically, looking at your reports I decided that combining the estimated change in income and corporate tax was the ideal way to summarize your data in the simplest possible fashion. As an Obama supporter, there's an inclination to leave out the corporate tax change. However, the summaries of your data reported in the popular press this summer include this in the change in after-tax income.
I think I picked the most faithful way to distill your reports into a single number for casual audiences, but any criticism is welcome. I try to include the necessary caveats and link to the appropriate TPC documents.
Regarding the Obama tax calculator, I think it's somewhat laudable for their campaign to go beyond the usual tactic of cherry picking families that are actually outliers when comparing the two candidates' plans and open up the floor to plug in whatever you want. It's at least a step in the right direction, although omitting results for incomes above $250,000 is unfortunate.
Lastly, your link to taxcut.barackobama.com above is broken.
