The fact of the matter is that the richest people in the country will have had a total tax break of about 5-6% of their income by the time the tax breaks expire in 2010. The upper middle class (where I am) on down to the poorest will have received a 1-2% cut.
Okay Steve let's talk tax breaks. If a person pays a 50% rate and gets a 10% reduction then he gets 5% less taxes. If a person only pays 16% in taxes then he would get a 1.6% reduction. Another case of the old adage that figures lie and liars figure.
