The following chart (taken from this article) shows the distribution of after-tax income increases(decreases) across the lowest to highest quintile for both Obama’s and McCain’s plans.
Notice that in both plans most people will see more after-tax income, but McCain’s tax cuts are mostly for the rich while Obama’s are more for middle income and low income Americans. You can also see that both plans involve net tax cuts, but McCain’s cuts are greater. Click on the chart for a full size image.
