...the funny thing about this is that despite the different distribution of tax changes the end result on taxation is the same in terms of income and effect on the national debt.

Both candidates would increase the national debt, although Obama would give back money to the people who pay less in taxes and make those that pay more in taxes pay even more. Whatever happened to balanced centrist policies?

It would be nice to see spending come down in both cases such that we only spend within our means.... ahh, the bygone era of balanced budgets.

It would be interesting if someone would study the campaign promises of all elected Presidents over the past 60 years and see which promises that were kept.
