Steve Benen's "Winners and Losers in Romney's Tax Plan" chart -- with top 0.1% includedLast edited Wed Aug 1, 2012, 03:17 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Steve Benen put out a chart today which showed the "Winners and Losers in Romney's Tax Plan". But he had to leave off the top 0.1% because:
...it made the chart unreadable. If you're in the bottom 80%, your tax increase under Romney would range from $128 to $1,880, but if you're in the top 0.1%, your tax break would be worth nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
So for anyone who is curious to know what the chart would look like if you included the top 0.1%, here it is. (The x-axis is your income percentile, and the y-axis is the dollar amount that your taxes would go up or down under Romney's plan.)

7. That is obscene. As I keep saying, people who vote for Romney are stupid.
