Congresswoman Eshoo is a little confused

[rob in cal]

This morning I listened to Congresswoman Anna Eshoo being interviewed on a local call in show.  She basically said that the top two percent of income earners in the country were the sole beneficiaries of the Bush tax cuts, and that she personally didn't recall any benefit from them.
   Now, one can certainly make a case that the super wealthy benefited a huge amount from these cuts, fair enough, but clearly middle income and upper middle income people such as Eshoo also benefited as her tax rate went down too, with some of her money that used to be taxed at 15% going to 10%, and most significantly her old 28% rate (most of her taxable income I'm guessing) going to 25 %.  How I wish I could have enlightened her, but alas I was doing my lunch deliveries.

It was on the Ron Owen's show on KGO, she made her comments about not personally benefiting from them about 11:55.   Can't find a KGO link of actual shows.
Eshoo also mentioned her son's family which made a good living (I think somewhere around 200k a year), and that she didn't think people in that income category should see their taxes raised, just those at a higher, unspecified level.
    Doing deliveries, I get to listen to all kinds of radio shows during lunch and dinner hours, and I like to mix it up, a little NPR, a little sports, a little John Bachelor (I like his guests and the overall attitude of imminent dramatic world events about to happen), a little Dave Ramsey,  then maybe back to the Giants game.

Yeah. I may save $10/pay period in taxes. And the gov't is having to cut back on critical stuff, particularly things our parents/grandparents rely on, to compensate. I've benefitted so much..... Obviously, tax cuts are for richers.

Of course, listening to the Giants hasn't exactly been fun of late.

Anyone who makes this claim should release their 2000 and 2003 tax returns.
