WINDFALL FOR THE RICH

“In April, [Marco] Rubio announced a tax proposal that hardly diverges
fr
om the Republican Party line. It offers families a twenty-five-hundred-dollar tax
credit per child. But the proposal also reduces income taxes beyond the levels of -
George W Bush's cuts, making them even more regressive; cuts corporate taxes by _
ten per cent; and eliminates taxes most on investment income and inherirance..
It gives a huge windfall to the rich amounting to trillions of dollars in tax revenue.”
