This is interesting. You put in your age, income, status, and zip code and it tells you the financial impact of the two presidential candidates.

For me...
Under Obama: + $1,632
Under Romney: + $1,644


Romney is going to give me $12! Woohoo!

What's yours?

How do they come up with their estimates?

How do they come up with their estimates?

One would assume that they compile any available information from the candidates platform and create an algorithm too slice the data based on your supplied demographic info.

Click on the source button. The about us section also has a profile of each collaborator. Stat nerds. Grad assistant grunt work.

Huh, +$7,110 under Obama, +$5,841 under Romney.

Guess it's a good thing personal freedom is worth to me than six or seven thousand bucks.

The website can't be that accurate considering it says that under Obama the national debt will decrease by $273 billion by 2016 while under Romney it will increase by $566 billion. Ol' Barry sure hasn't done anything with the national debt within the first 4 years and I doubt the added expense of Obamacare sure won't help.

I'm up 1,500 plus with Obama and around -3,400 with Romney.

Romney +$6456
Obama -Any Freedom I have left.

 

[rambone]

My results yielded 1% difference between the candidates.

 

[melensdad]

Under Obama + $6519
Under Romney + $149,214

However I do not believe the website is accurate.

Seems pretty accurate to me.

UC Berkeley students/associates. 'Nuff said.

O + $4367
R - $5378

Yeah, right. The big difference maker was number of students in college.

 

[mrjarrell]

I ended up + with each, but not enough difference betwixt the two to make a difference in how I'd vote. They're both redistributionists.

My daughter is not in college THIS YEAR so I put "0" in college to get the numbers above.

Funny thing is that I went back and changed it to "1" in college (because my daughter will go NEXT YEAR and the numbers changed.

Under Obama the number went down to $6392 (was $6519)
Under Romney the number went down to $149,096 (was $149,214)

How can I send a kid to college and pay even more taxes?

How can I send a kid to college and pay even more taxes?

Why should sending a kid to college mean less in taxes?

 

[melensdad]

Why should sending a kid to college mean less in taxes?

Because Obummer promised us tax breaks for sending kids to college

Why should sending a kid to college INCREASE my taxes?

It shouldn't make a damn bit of difference. Same with the number of dependents you have.

Well you and I agree. But I'm going by the "promises" that were made

 

[firehawk1]

Wow, that isn't biased in any way.

Obama is going to put an extra $3071 in my pocket and Romney is going to cost me $2172. Yeah right...... Where's the extra $3071 from Obama for the last 3.5 years, where's my extra $10748.50?


I guess he's promising to start right after the election, again yeah right......

BTW, the numbers changed a couple of times even when entering the same information.
