OK, figure this one out,
I just watched katie do a number on the tax plans of both candidates. They used a black couple in Ohio making 32K a year, a white couple making 65K and another white couple making 213K a year. The first couple makes out really good with a 2200 less in taxes, the mid couple 500.00, the other couple makes like 1600, but if his business gets going better, he'll be taxed at 36% instead of 33%, which he said would suck because it was 8% higher. WFT is wrong with this guy, he's got a business and can't even subtract or add?????:wtf:

1. Unless there's different tax rates for blacks and whites...
... I fail to see why they labeled their fictional couples with races. What's that all about?

2. I guess you had to see it to believe it.
but it was a lead in with the first couple making 32k and how much they would get back at the end of the year compared to how little the rest of the hard workers were gonna get.

Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there, but if they wanted to do it truthfully and out front, they should have used all whites, or all blacks.

Originally, I didn't see anything "about color" in the run down. I was more impressed that a person making 213,000 dollars American a year and running a business that employed others, not being able to take 33 subtract it from 36 and come up with the right answer. Or is it 8%? It's been a long time since I went to school.
