Election 2008
Presidential Candidate Tax Plan Comparison
With the upcoming 2008 presidential election, tax policy will soon be on voters' minds more than ever. Taxes are one of the central issues in any national election, and it is important for the public to understand candidates' general views toward tax policy as well as their positions on specific issues, such as the alternative minimum tax (AMT) and corporate tax rates. While some candidates have been more forthcoming and specific than others about their stance on various tax issues, they will all need to divulge and elaborate on their positions as the race progresses.
The chart below outlines the candidates' positions on the most important tax questions of this election. As the race narrows and the remaining candidates refine and expound their positions, this page will be augmented.
