William’s been doing some nice work on visualizing the tax policies of the two US presidential candidates: here, here, and here. For readers not in the US, note that the term ‘socialism’ is considered a scary word over here, and – at least in the mainstream media – the frequency with which a pundit uses it is in indirect proportion to the speakers understanding of its meaning. Note also that there is an idea over here that taxes are a form of punishment (at least, this is how Joe “Wurzelbacher” the Plumber expresses his relationship with this basic instrument of government).
