http://www.barackobama.com/tax-calculator/

Be sure to tell them:

Here is a tax calculator to see what the difference is between the taxes you would pay under the Obama plan vesus the Romney plan.

Simply put in your annual income and the number of dependents

These figures are based on a study released by a nonpartisan group - Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute. The study was headed by an economist who was a adviser to President George W. Bush


You can refer them to this article from the Washington Post that explains how the Romney Tax Plan will decrease taxes for the top 5% and increase taxes for almost everyone else:
