Show me the exact section where it 'It includes those little nagging details like what income tax rates would be charged for which income brackets'.
The description is on page 39, the numbers are on page 236. Existing tax brackets remain the same, indexed as they are under current law, except the changes made by the EGTRRA and JGTRRA are repealed after 2012 for incomes in excess of $250,000 ($200,000 if single), while current law is extended for incomes below. That means part of the 33% bracket is replaced with a 36% income tax bracket and the entirety of the 35% income tax bracket is replaced with a 39.6% bracket. His budget also offers a 30% floor for millionaire households (i.e. the Buffet Rule). His budget does more of course--limiting itemized deductions and phasing out personal exemptions for high-earners, changing some of the numbers for tax rates on dividends, capital gains, and the estate tax, etc). All proposals with numbers to go along with them.
Ryan's a fucknut and so, apparently, are his cheerleaders. There's a reason Obama's budget can be analyzed and dissected and Ryan's cannot. Ryan's "budget" is a joke.
Anything else I can read for you today?
