Connecticut is among the states that would save the most from extending the tax cuts at $1,903 for the average family. The fourth district of Connecticut will see its average family’s tax burden increased by $2,743.
We can’t afford Jim Himes and, regardless of what he says during a campaign, we can’t trust him to change.
Also, the so-called Bush Tax Cuts you are referring to will be extended for earners under 250k for sure under the plan Himes is backing.
From ABC last week: "I do believe that the tax cuts on households making under $250,000 -- which by the way in my district is, it's an affluent district, that's a fair number of people -- those I believe should be extended,” [Himes] said... I am certain that on households making less than $250,000, now is absolutely not the time to raise their taxes."
