Romney/Obama policy comparison tool
I saw an interactive website tool on tv the other day, that lets you input your income and household size and it would show you a comparison of how you would do financially under both Romney and Obama's planned policies (it gave a cash amount!). It also had a map of how well each county in the USA would benefit from each one. I can't find this website anywhere. I thought the tv show said it was on politico.com, but no luck finding it there, and googling for it has been fruitless - only showing much more vague comparisons rather than any numbers. Anyone else seen a tool like that and could tell me where to find it?

How's it possible? Romney isn't going to reveal his plan until after he's elected.

You don't mean this very basic one (on Obama's site) do you?

That looks exactly like the one they showed, but with fewer functions, thanks. It's good enough for my purposes.

Re: Romney/Obama policy comparison tool
JohnYuEsq 2:43 PM MST Money means power. Concentrated wealth at the top means extraordinary power at the top. The reason Romney pays a rate of only 14 percent on $13 million of income in 2011 -- a lower rate than many in the middle class -- is because he exploits a loophole that allows private equity managers to treat their income as capital gains, taxed at only 15 percent. And that loophole exists solely because private equity and hedge fund managers have so much political clout -- as a result of their huge fortunes and the money they've donated to political candidates -- that neither party will remove it. In other words, everything America is learning about Mitt Romney -- his tax returns, his years at Bain Capital, the video of his speech to high-end donors in which he belittles half of America, his gaffes, the budget policies he promotes -- repeat and reenforce the same underlying reality. So much wealth and power have accumulated at the top of America that our economy and our democracy are seriously threatened. Romney not only represents this problem. He is the living embodiment of it. ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley |

It seems counter intuitive that people should pay a lower rate on income that they haven't worked for. But as the comment says, that's the power of Wall Street.
What the comment says to me is that is just reinforces my belief that George Carlin was right about the owners of this country and that politics is all a sideshow to make the proles think they have some power. |

It's all fun and games until you realise that he has over 40% in the polls.
