GOP Budget Plan Assumes Americans Would Choose Higher Tax Rate

"House Republicans set themselves a high bar last week when they promised to deliver an alternative budget that drastically slashed taxes while also cutting the deficit further than the White House has proposed.

The Republican budget blueprint released last week called for "a marginal tax rate for income up to $100,000 of 10 percent and 25 percent for any income thereafter," which would result in a massive reduction in government revenue and a generous tax break for the wealthy, who currently pay a 35 percent rate.

The Republican plan unveiled today by ranking budget committee Republican Paul Ryan (Wisc.) clears the bar they set for themselves in two ways. First, it sets the 10 percent rate for families making $100,000 or less and for individuals at $50,000, thus more than doubling taxes on individuals making between $50,000 and $100,000 -- at least as compared as to the original offer."

Their budget is an April Fools' joke, right?

The source document is always better to consider than the HuffPo version.

Sorry if it wastes your time. It's a conservative thing to want to hear from the source the actual information, and then evaluate it ourselves. It's a liberal thing to wait and see what Arianna has to say about it.

I guess CNN and ABC a... oh that's right, everyone except FOX Noise is a left liberal outlet with a socialist agenda.

Are you suggesting they're better than the source document?

Fox does do a great job of providing the source, some others do also. You can listen to their take ("their" meaning ABC, Fox, CNN, et al), or you can read it for yourself.

If you don't think they ALL have a bias of some kind, you're a fool.

If you know they do and are arguing anyway, well, you can figure out for yourself what that makes you.

So you admit FOX Noise is biased?

I don't know what Fox Noise is, but the Fox News Channel is made up of people. People insert bias into their reporting. Sometimes it's biased left (Shep), sometimes it's biased right (Beck), but it's virtually always biased.

Are you admitting all of the others are biased, too? If so, why would you argue against looking at the source vice the HuffPo piece?

You link an opinion op-ed for the Wall Street Journal? NICE!

It's all BS, both parties change and tweak numbers to add up to what they want them to.

That is quite a detailed budget proposed, 3 pages with one graph.

Must be better than what's being proposed, it's obviously more thought out.

By source I meant the person most responsible for writing it.

Here's more, and a decent comparison of the two plans is here, and here is what was actually proposed.
