This morning on Fox News Sunday, Jeb Bush was asked about the fact that his tax plan<http://factivists.democrats.org/what-people-are-saying-about-jeb-bushs-tax-plan/> would give Jeb Bush a $3 million dollar tax cut.

Chris Wallace: Does Jeb Bush need a $3 million dollar tax cut?

Bush: Look, the benefit of this goes disproportionately to the middle class. If you look at what the middle class pays today compared to what they would pay in our tax plan…

Chris Wallace: They get a 2.9 percent increase in after tax income…

Jeb Bush: Because higher income people pay more taxes right now and proportionately, everyone will get a benefit but proportionately they’ll pay more with my plan than what they pay today.

Wallace: Forgive me, sir, but 2.9 seems like it’s less than 11.6.

Bush: The simple fact is 1 percent of people pay 40 percent of all the taxes. So of course tax cuts for everybody is going to generate more for people who are paying a lot more. I mean, that’s just the way it is.”

To recap – Does Jeb Bush need a $3 million dollar tax cut? I mean, to Jeb Bush, “that’s just the way it is.”

“Like his brother before him, Jeb Bush wants to give himself and people like him massive tax cuts while exploding the deficit or shifting the burden of balancing the budget onto the middle class. America cannot afford any plan that is more extreme than the one implemented by George W. Bush.” – Holly Shulman, National Press Secretary
