Tax Cuts, Democrat vs. Republican

Look at the chart on the left. Remember it.  Because over the next three months, we're going to hear Republican candidates talking about tax cuts, and about how much better the Republican plan is.  As you can see here, if you make $200,000 per year or less (and let's face it, that's most of us), you'll save a few bucks with the Democrats.  If you're very well off at under $500,000 per year (which has to be an extremely thin slice of the populace), you'll do ever so much slightly better with Republicans. But no so much you'd really notice.

But if you're rich or super-rich? Boy howdy!  That sorta looks like the moon orbiting the Earth, doesn't it?  Vote Republican and make the very rich even richer?  Somehow, I don't think they'll be using that slogan.

Hat-tip to AmericaBlog (and many others) for the graphic. Pass it on.
