The Romney Tax Plan: A blow job for the Wealthy, and a Fuck You to Everyone Else.
The Romney plan would provide massive tax cuts at the top of the income scale. In fact, more than half of its total tax cuts would go to the top 1 percent of households (that is, people with incomes over $630,000), according to TPC. The average millionaire would receive a tax cut of $146,000 in 2015, in addition to the $141,000 he or she would receive from an extension of the Bush tax cuts. By contrast, the plan would hurt poor Americans by not extending some recently enacted tax policies aimed at low- and moderate-income families.
Under Romney’s plan, the top 1% would receive on average an $82,188 tax cut and the top 0.1% would receive a $464,005 tax cut. 77% of Mitt Romney’s tax cut would go to the top 1%—and 44% would go to the top 0.1%. Meanwhile, If you make below $40,000, your taxes are going up to help out the rich.
