President Obama’s budget helps working families make ends meet. This is an essential part of middle-class economics — the idea that the economy works best when it’s working for everyone.
Unfortunately, House Republicans have a different idea for America. Their budget gives an average tax cut of more than $3 million to 5,400 of America’s wealthiest households — costing taxpayers $270 billion over the next 10 years. Under the President’s budget, 44 million middle-class families would get an average tax cut of nearly $600.
