Try out our new tax calculator

A lot of times policy debates on the campaign trail can be a bit confusing. This one isn't. A new report released this week runs the numbers on Mitt Romney's tax plan. To pay for the tax cuts he'd give to millionaires like himself, he'd actually raise taxes on middle-class families with children by an average of more than $2,000. We've put together a new tool that lets you see for yourself -- take a look at our tax calculator and find out how each candidate's tax plan would affect you: http://my.barackobama.com/Tax-Calculator Thanks, James James Kvaal Policy Director Obama for America

Wednesday's Daily Brief: Did Mitt Pay No Taxes?

Wednesday, August 1, 2012 Harry Reid: Romney 'Didn't Pay Any Taxes For 10 Years' BOOKS Gore Vidal Dead At 86 SPORTS U.S. Gymnastics Takes Gold In Women's Team Final POLITICS Florida Mogul: I Was 'Personally Responsible' For Bush's 2000 Victory SPORTS 8 Badminton Players Accused Of Throwing Matches TECHNOLOGY Teenager Tweets Picture Of Man Dying But Doesn't Stop To Help BLOG POSTS David Bromwich: Romney, Netanyahu, and George Washington's Warning What does it signify, for an American like Mitt Romney, unskilled in international politics and innocent of the complexities of the Middle East, to back the pressure now being exerted by Benjamin Netanyahu against the advice of the American president and against the advice of high-ranking intelligence and military officers in Israel? It means that Romney is not friend of Israel so much as he is a friend of Netanyahu. Or rather, for Romney, as for the billionaires he had in tow on his Israel trip, the personal is political. For them, Netanyahu is Israel. Sen. Harry Reid: Republicans Renew War on Women Asking American women to continue denying themselves the care they need is unacceptable. Only by focusing on America's best interest, rather than our own political interests, will we have a stronger, healthier future together. Jesse Kornbluth: Gore Vidal (1925-2012): He Did It His Way (And Loved Every Minute) Vidal had no self-doubt. He used his legendary intellect in the service of opinions that drew blood. Feuds thrilled him. And he never lost the swagger that comes from knowing that -- at least in his youth -- he was a stunner. Want a guided tour? Dr. Peggy Drexler: How to Talk to Kids About the New Normal Sexuality is a big deal. But when talking about gay, straight, or anything else, the principles of how we want to teach our kids to live are the same as any other discussion about growing up right: Practice kindness and love and treat others as you'd like to be treated. Plain and simple. Sec. Kathleen Sebelius: Giving Women Control Over Their Health Care Women's health decisions shouldn't be made by politicians or insurance companies. Rather than wasting time refighting old political battles, this Administration is moving forward and putting women in control of their own health care.
