So that is how Obama plans to pay for all of it

Exit polls showed that people with income over $200k doubled over the last four years. Right in line with Obama’s tax plan. How nice.

So for all those people that were doing horribly and Obama told you you were, here is the data:

  • In 2004, 8 percent of the electorate earned $15k or less; that dropped to 6 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 15 percent made between $15k-$30K; that dropped to 12 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 23 percent made $30k or less; that dropped to 18 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 11 percent made $100k-$150k; that rose to 14 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 4 percent made $150k-$200k; that rose to 6 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 3 percent made $200k or more; that rose to 6 percent in 2008
  • In 2004, 18 percent made $100k or more; that rose to 26 percent in 2008

So much for the “bad economy” we had huh?
