Does your analysis offer any speculation as to whether the second family in your example would trade places with the other family to get a larger refund check?

No. But the point was to illustrate things are not as simple as they appear. Obama's plan adds complexity to an already complicated system. The Post may of had an agenda. If you exclude tax credits, deduction, and adjustments the results can vary from reality. And, clearly added complexity will be disproportionally harmful to average taxpayers with the potential to earn more over time.
