Wow, ok so w are going to worry about the top 1% and ignore the benefits of this proposed plan to the rest of the 99%. His original plan has been changed, the congress is pushing for a 12%, 25%, 35% tax bracket with a doubling of the standard deductions. albeit they have not released the actual income ranges on the new plan, but if we consider his old plan, we might have some indication. his old plan was essentially 0% tax on earnings up to the first 50K, this is married filing jointly. the next 50K or up to 100K was to be taxed at the first income bracket, in this case would be the 10%. from 100K to 300K would then fall into the 25% bracket. I don't consider anything beyond this range as middle class. assuming a family income of 125K lets check the math, just looking at the standard deduction of 24K and not even including the personal exemption, or other right-offs, the income is at 101K. the first 50K is not taxed, the next 50K is at 12%, which equates to approximately 6K.CONTINUED
