Chef Jim Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm not sure what my favorite part is...the numbers not being even comparable, or the "explanations" literally being nothing more than "Romney bad, yay Obama!" Plug in $1mill and $100mill and see your tax savings under Romney. Yeah, that's some realy acurate computations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Plug in $1mill and $100mill and see your tax savings under Romney. Yeah, that's some realy acurate computations. Oh, I did. I thought that was awesome. It's even better than that...there's no difference between $1M and $100M. There's also no difference between $1M and $999,000. But apparently, if you make $994,499 in 2013, you'll save $36,319. But make one dollar more...now you're suddenly saving $245,551 in taxes. Yeah, I'm sure that's accurate. And I just checked the source code for the page, to see how they wrote their script...they have an ASCII-art Obama logo embedded in the script. <!-- .:/+osssyssso+/:. ./osyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyso/- ./syyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys/. .+syyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys+. `/syyyyyyyyyyysssooooosssyyyyyyyyyyys/ `oyyyyyyyyyyso/-`` `-:osyyyyyyyyyyo. `oyyyyyyyyys/. ./syyyyyyyyys. oyyyyyyyyyo. .+yyyyyyyyyo` -yyyyyyyyyo` `+yyyyyyyyy: oyyyyyyyys. `syyyyyyyys syyyyyyyyo +yyyyyyyyy syyyyyyyyo```.....----------....```+syyyyyyyy osssssssssoossssssssssssssssssooooossssssssss -sssssssssssoo+//::--...```````````..--://+o: ossso+/:-.`` ....-----------... `/-`` `.--:/+oooosssssssssssssssssso. `.:/+ossssssssssssssoo++///:::-----. `/ossssssssssso+/:-.```` ``.--:. .+sssssso/:.` .-:/+ossssso- ./o/-` `-:+ossssssssss+. `-/ossssssssssss+-` :+osssssssoo+:-` --> Not a copyright, mind you.

fjl2nd Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just checked it and wow, you're right. This dude has an ego the size of Kenya. Yeah, because the President writes the source code for his website. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah, because the President writes the source code for his website. Wow. Good point. I'm sure the programmers came up with the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Good point. I'm sure the programmers came up with the idea. To be honest, they probably did. Programmers do **** like that. Which isn't to say they didn't run it by whomever contracted them out to code it, and that they didn't love it. Non-issue regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Good point. I'm sure the programmers came up with the idea. They probably did. I imagine there's a political check of some sort they'd have to pass to work there...which means they're just the sort of over-eager kool-aid drinkers that would do that. Obama's got an ego, no doubt...but it's his followers that deify him - it's less about him than the extraordinary cult of personality following him.

What I should have said iis that they didn't just insert it without his permission. He must have approved it. And while it strikes me as odd and arrogant, at least if you view the source page, you know the validity of the "calculator."
