In the GOP tax plan they support, a Utah family earning a decent but not extravagant income of $83,000 a year would receive a piddling annual tax break of $160. That’s $3 a week or about 0.2 percent of your annual income.
But if you pull in $750,000, your tax break would be $75,000, fully 10 percent of your annual income and almost $1,500 a week.
It’s exactly backwards! A 10 percent tax break for an $83,000 family is $8,300. That’s $160 a week (a week, not a year), enough to make a real difference to a middle class family.
