• AP (4/7/2010) Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax. Recession, new tax credits have nearly half of US households paying no federal income tax.
My Summary: In 2007, 38% of households paid no federal income tax. In 2008, it was 49%. In 2009, it's 47%. A family of four making $50,000, with two kids under 17, pays no tax.
The top 10% pays 73% of all federal taxes.
The bottom 40% actually profit from the federal government, making more in tax credits than they would otherwise owe in taxes.
The "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy" were specifically, a reduction of the highest tax rate from 39.6% to 35%, and reduction of the second highest rate from 36% to 33%. But tax rates were lowered for every income level too.
• Tax Policy Center (4/5/2010) 5 Myths about your taxes.
