Tax Policy Gap

By clevomon - June 12, 2008, 2:01PM

Okay, was I the only one who noticed a giant gap in CNN's reporting of Obama's and McCain's tax policies? They jumped from $161,000 to $2.9 million! There is a large gap of numbers in there. I'm an Obama supporter who lives in a fairly (but not obscenely) wealthy suburb, and so it would be helpful to have the numbers that fill in the gap. Can anyone help?
