PARADE Magazine: Obama tax cuts better than McCain's if you make under $112,000

Ok, this is big-time. Better than just about any ad-buy Team Obama could imagine. Parade Mag has a circulation of over 30 million households and some folks read it cover-to-cover religiously every Sunday.

PARADE Magazine: Obama tax cuts better than McCain's if you make under $112,000
John Aravosis (DC) · 10/12/2008 05:51:00 PM ET · Link

I still think tax policy should take into account your cost of living where you live, otherwise saying you make $60,000 or $112,000 is meaningless (in Topeka your day-to-day living costs are less, and you'll have more disposable (aka luxury) income, than someone living in NYC). Still, PARADE magazine has a huge readership, and reader LJ tipped us off to how they just told the world that if you make under $112,000 you save more with Obama, and that no one making under $227,000 will have their taxes raised. That completely contradicts Palin's and McCain's lies. Read the entire thing in today's PARADE in your Sunday paper.

3. I read that this morning
And then found out why there is less salt in the Gulf of Mexico than the ocean in Ask Marilyn. :)

4. And don't forget to figure in the taxation of your health care benefit. I doubt this article did.

6. Saw it, and I've been contacting LIVs to have them look at it.
Parade is perfect for all those friends and family members who will believe it over any article in any newspaper, or any online site.

8. If you are in the top 5% of wage earners and care about nothing but money - McCain is your man!
