The effects of the Obama and McCain tax plans

After conducting their careful economic analysis using tax models and outside economic data, Heritage’s experts made a few important conclusions about the plans’ differing effects:

· Jobs respond more to McCain's plan than to Obama's.

· Overall economic activity more vigorous under McCain's plan.

· More after-tax spending potential under McCain than under Obama.

In sum, “Senator McCain's plan is substantially better at spurring economic growth than Senator Obama's. This is not surprising, since Senator McCain focuses on economic growth and job creation while Senator Obama focuses on the redistribution of income.”
