I have my reasons for supporting Obama--a thorough understanding of his tax policy, and the field of economics at large, isn't one of them. That's embarrassing to admit. I'm saying this because I think each candidates tax plan is one of those issues that actually matter, but a lot of us Americans don't quite grasp. I guess that's the difference between being an actual Ivy Leaguer and a guy who gets mistaken for one because he blogs here at the Atlantic.
Oh well. Knowledge is power. I'm all up for getting as much as I can. So consider this an open thread. I want to hear from folks who've really thought about the pluses and minuses of
both plans and what they'd mean for the economy. Go for it.
