THE FACTS
The numbers are in: the proposed Buffett Rule, which would raise taxes on the mega rich (those making over $1 million a year) would raise $31B over 11 years.
According to analysts, “That figure would be a drop in the bucket of the over $7 trillion in federal budget deficits projected during that period.”
