Politics : Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Kerry -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

That "side by side comparison" doesn't really explain how
the Kerry tax plan would actually be effected.

Has he actually set forth somewhere the various tax brackets and shown in detail what he proposes?

For example, here is a link to the 2003 IRS tax structure:

irs.gov

I'm curious as to how Kerry intends to change the
actual brackets, percentages, etc.

Without such detail, I do not find his
"side by side" comparison to be particularly
compelling. In fact, it's just short of meaningless.

Since the tax issue is a hot button, I think that
more detail is required to really evaluate Kerry's
proposals, particularly in light of his spending proposals.

Honest question

What is the middle class in terms of income?

In my mind the middle class has moved to a husband/wife both working and making say 150-200k combined (less business deductions etc.)

Here's a pretty good site explaining the 2003
tax bill and associated cuts/changes.
