I'm all for showing policies and the effects of plans etc. ... but god gawds sake make them accurate and don't lie.

Who is fighting for the middle class? President Obama versus Mitt Romney. — Barack Obama

I entered my details - no huge surprise apparently I'll be better off under Obama, hey ho its an Obama site.

But wait I'm a software engineer, I can't resist 'testing' things ..

So entered $10m as the income $245,551 in savings apparently at that level - interesting, changed the input to $1m instead apparently savings are identical ($245k) ... odd I thought, entered $995,000 and apparently $36,319 in savings instead.

Apparently if you earn $997,499 then you get $36,319 in savings under Romney - but if you earn $997,500 then you get $245,551 in savings.

That means that basically the Romney plan involves giving a 25% tax cut to people once they get to $997,500 retroactively placed upon earnings under that amount (ie. earning that extra dollar effectively earns you over $200k) .... does this sound a tad screwy to anyone else? ... now I'm far more pro-Democrat than Republican but I HATE misleading information from any politicial party.
