If they do expire, most Americans' tax bills would go up and the surge of additional revenue into federal coffers would greatly improve the deficit picture over the next decade.
But many worry the overnight jump in taxes could hurt the economy if it's still weak. And others say higher rates across the board is not the most efficient way of reducing deficits.
In any case, most Republicans want to make the tax cuts permanent while many Democrats want to make them permanent for everyone except high-income households.
If all the cuts are extended, they could reduce revenues by an estimated $3.7 trillion over a decade. If only most of them are extended, that would reduce revenues by about $3 trillion.
也就是说，布什减税中的3/3.7 = 81%的钱是给民主党所认可的非富人阶层的。富人阶层得到的减税只有20%。
为此布什一直在背着“只为富人减税”的黑锅。
