Played with it with my Delicious bookmarks as the resource.

Saved the Java applet results with CutePDF Writer, then pulled the PDF into Photoshop, messed with it and saved it as a .jpg.

Voilà!

So, a bit early, but heartfelt, nonetheless:

Brilliant, but … if the work hadn’t been pretty, it would’ve been just as snarly as those folks who spray paint crappy letters on walls.

Good ad for the green cleaner used.

Below is yet another tax plan analysis chart, this one from Freakanomics.

.

This graph is weighted to show the percentage of tax revenue from each group and whether that percentage will rise or fall under each plan.

This version of the chart weights the income brackets so a bracket with more tax payers is larger than a bracket with fewer tax payers.

Save that thought.
