1. Link to report... and kick

The graph on page 34 is especially useful.



I keep saying the campaign should be hammering this into the public consciousness. Blow that graph up huge and put Barack on a high profile national television appearance to spend 5 minutes walking everyone through what it means and McCain kisses his entire "Obama will raise your taxes!!!" scare tactic goodbye once people understand he's only talking to people who make at least several hundreds of thousands of dollars a year... not to them.
