The number of people who pay federal income taxes can be determined by the number of Americans making a wage over the minimum standard deduction. It changes from year to year, correlated with tax rates and income levels; the data is updated by various survey companies and the U.S. Censers Bureau. If McCain wins the election, the marginal difference in tax plans would include a higher amount of people, thus creating potential revenue. Obama's Plan includes a larger tax deduction for the lower income tax bracket, in relation to McCain; this statistically this would be a low, but McCain's plan could generate more revenue from the lower class. Under McCain's plan the super rich would be taxed less in proportion, resulting in a further separation between the lower and upper tax brackets' marginal cost to marginal benefit ratio.

Unless you paid federal and state taxes you cannot get a refund. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can file taxes simply to get the earned income credit. They are wrong.

And unless you paid taxes in then you have nothing to file or claim.
