Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist
That's another example of the lies that people are telling voters in order to try to fool them into voting against their own financial interests.

The 250,000 figure, which Obama has consistently used in his platform, is the income under which people will not have their taxes raised. He has consistently said this. He said, no one making under $250,000 will see their income tax raised. He has never said that people between $200,000 and $250,000 would get a tax cut.

The $150,000 figure is the income below which people will experience a reduction in their taxes.

The Obama campaign has been perfectly consistent in who they've said would get a tax cut, whose taxes would remain the same, and who would see their taxes increase. The only thing that has changed is which particular lies the McCain campaign has decided to tell on any particular day.
