I didn't vote because I'm Canadian, but what I found interesting is the average decrease in taxes for 60% of taxpayers (the bottom three groups):

McCain: 0.47%
Obama: 3.83%

That's interesting. I think Obama's $500 to $1,000 in individual tax savings is significant to this tax group. That, compared to McCain's $20 to $300.

I'd stand to save $779 more with Obama's plan over McCain's. That's worth the better part of a paycheque. Obama's savings alone is pretty much a paycheque's worth of savings. That's a lot. I knew I'd vote for him if I were American.
