According to a study prepared by the congressional Joint Economic Committee and verified by independent experts, the House Republican budget authored by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan R-WI would raise taxes on families making less than $200,000, even while it gives millionaires a tax cut:So although households earning $100,000 to $200,000 a year would save about $7,000 from the lower tax rates in the GOP plan, those savings would be swamped by eliminating major deductions, according to the report by the Democratically controlled congressional Joint Economic Committee.The net result: Married couples in that income range would pay an additional $2,700 annually to the Internal Revenue Service, on top of the tax increases that are scheduled to hit every American household when the George W. Bush-era cuts expire at the end of the year.Households earning more than $1 million a year, meanwhile, could see a net tax cut of about $300,000 annually.“Ryan seems to want to have his cake and eat it, too, and this report shows that you can’t,” added Sen. Charles E. Schumer D-NY. “If you want to cut taxes on the rich and not raise the deficit, you’re going to have to basically clobber the middle class.”
