MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUTS
In fewer than 50 days, unless Congress acts by December 31st, taxes will increase for 114 million American middle class families. Rep. Becerra supports President Obama’s proposal to extend tax cuts for middle class Americans – for those making under $250,000 a year – and letting the upper income tax cuts expire for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Here’s a closer look at the middle class tax cuts by the numbers:

• Ending tax cuts for income above $250,000 would raise nearly $1 trillion over 10 years.

• If middle class tax cuts are not extended, 114 million families will see an average tax increase of $1,600.

• The President’s tax plan would let the top tax rate revert to the same level as during the Clinton Administration, when 22.5 million jobs were created.
