I'm an engineer, make pretty decent money, own about 25% of a house (bank owns the rest), single, no meaningful amount of investments. My income tax rate this year (that is; Federal income tax / Adjusted Gross Income * 100) was 14.22%.

A commenter below asked what my overall rate was for fed, state, ss and medicare. I added it up; and it's 26.8%.

The Obama campaign has (rightly) spent all day making McCain look like a (rich, elitist) fool for not knowing how many houses he (his wife?) owns. This is obviously a great line of attack because it counter's McCain's claims that Obama is an elitist and that McSame is a regular guy. But there's another angle here!

The NEXT way to attack McCain on his multiple houses.
