Misleading Headline from Parade


When I first read the chart below, I thought I would be paying 8 times more tax under Obama. After all, the headline reads "How Much Would You Pay in Taxes".

I went down to my meager income level and thought "Oh my...I would pay $892 under Obama and $118 under McCain."

However, in the smaller print it is explained that the above figures would be the tax savings under each candidate.

A bit misleading to the casual reader--which may be most folks. After all, who is the serious reader of Parade.
