Middle Class Tax Cuts Act

Jul. 25, 2012 | S. 3412
This Democratic legislation would extend tax cuts on income under $250,000 for joint filers ($200,000 for individuals) or about 98% of taxpayers as well as 97% of small business owners. It would end the Bush tax breaks for the richest 2 percent and save the federal government nearly $1 trillion over the next 10 years; revenue that could be invested in jobs, infrastructure improvements, education, and protecting programs like Medicare and Medicaid, as well as reducing the deficit. The middle class tax cut was passed.

This is Good for working people.
