A coworker argued with me that the president's tax cuts were helping all Americans, not just the wealthy. I gave him these numbers, which others may find handy as well. From
Citizens for Tax Justice:
In 2003, 49 percent of taxpayers will get $100 or less from the tax bill. For these 65.7 million unlucky taxpayers, the average tax reduction will be only $19.
In 2004, 47 percent of taxpayers will get $100 or less. The average tax cut for these 63.4 million taxpayers will be $19.
In 2005, 74 percent of taxpayers will get $100 or less from the President's plan. The average tax reduction for these 97.9 million taxpayers will be $5.
In 2006, 88 percent of taxpayers will get $100 or less from the tax bill. For these 118 million taxpayers, the average tax reduction will be $4.
