--When he initially released the tax plan, Senator Obama said that everyone making less than $250,000 a year would receive a tax credit. Upper class was considered to be everyone making $250,000 or more.
--During his infomercial last night, the number was stated as $200,000 a year. The bar for "upper class" dropped a solid $50k a year.
--Earlier this week, Joe Biden said "tax cuts for everyone making less than $150,000 a year". Lower than either of the Obama numbers. (Note, some pundits call this a slip-up, I don't have the authority to make that decision, but Biden hasn't called it a mistake yet).
So what do we believe? That's a $100,000 window where we may or may not be getting a tax break. To the undecided voter, this is a little unsettling. Say, for example, an Undecided voter is making $175,000 a year. Under Biden's number, this guy's gonna see his taxes go up, but he would get a tax break under either of the Obama numbers.
We need this number set straight now. We need to be informed to vote, not confused.
