Here is a table showing the change in your tax bill in 2009 vs 2008 if McCain or Obama's policies are fully implemented:

Over $2.9M -$269,364 +$701,885 +$971,249
$603K and up -$45,361 +$115,974 +$161,335
$227K-$603K -$7,871 +$12,000 +$7,883
$161K-$227K -$4,380 -$2,789 +$1,591

From the table, we can see that if you make less than $112,000 a year, then you will pay less in taxes under Obama's policies compared to McCain's. According to the IRS, 89% of Americans report less than $100,000 in adjusted gross income (2005).
Perhaps it's worth showing this table to your undecided and Republican friends to let them know just how much they stand to lose under a McCain presidency.
