AYOTTE VOTED FOR RYAN BUDGET THAT CONTAINED MASSIVE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY WHILE 95% OF TAXPAYERS WOULD SEE NO BENEFIT

Ayotte Voted For FY 2012 Ryan Budget. In May 2011, Ayotte voted for a: “Reid, D-Nev., motion to proceed to the concurrent resolution that would allow $2.859 trillion in new budget authority for fiscal 2012.” The motion failed 40-57. [CQ, 5/25/11; H.Con.Res. 34, Vote 77, 5/25/11]

• CBPP: Ryan Budget Proposal To Cut Top Income Tax Rate Would “Primarily Benefit Households With The Highest Incomes” And “95 Percent Of Americans Would Have Received No Benefit At All.” “Reducing the top income tax rate to 25 percent would primarily benefit households with the highest incomes. For example, a family with two children and an income of $1 million (of which we assumed $850,000 comes from earnings) would receive an annual tax cut of $51,000 from lowering the top rate to 25 percent, which would be in addition to the $64,000 the family would get from extending all of the Bush tax cuts. And family with an income of $10 million (and $8.5 million in earnings) would receive a tax cut of $730,000 a year from the reduction in the top rate. In contrast, 95 percent of Americans would receive no benefit at all from lowering the top rate to 25 percent, because they would already be in the 25 percent tax bracket or a lower bracket (assuming that the Bush tax cuts were extended, as the House budget envisions).” [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 5/26/11]

• Wealthy Would See Massive Tax Cuts Under Plan, With Families Making Millions Of Dollars Receiving Five And Six-Figure Tax Cuts.  “The tax proposals in the budget that the House approved on April 15 place a top priority on cutting  taxes for high-income people, while doing nothing to reduce budget deficits, themselves. […]The costliest of the new tax cuts in the House budget would shrink the top individual tax rate to 25 percent, its lowest level since before the New Deal. […] Reducing the top income tax rate to 25 percent would primarily benefit households with the highest incomes. For example, a family with two children and an income of $1 million (of which we assumed $850,000 comes from earnings) would receive an annual tax cut of $51,000 from lowering the top rate to 25 percent, which would be in addition to the $64,000 the family would get from extending all of the Bush tax cuts. And family with an income of $10 million (and $8.5 million in earnings) would receive a tax cut of $730,000 a year from the reduction in the top rate.” [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 5/26/11]

• Tax Policy Center’s Roberton Williams: Ryan Plan “Would Almost Certainly Shift More Of The Tax Burden To Low- And Middle-Income Families.” In an April 2011 post for Tax Policy Center’s TaxVox, Roberton Williams wrote: “[…] the House budget resolution would almost certainly shift more of the tax burden to low- and middle-income households and yield a less progressive tax system. Combining that with deep spending cuts doesn’t look like an equitable sharing of the costs of bringing the budget deficit under control.” [Tax Policy Center, TaxVox, Roberton Williams, 4/18/11]
