rich vs everyone else

Center for American Progress has an excellent graphic (with sources) to illustrate Tax Breaks vs. Budget Cuts.

"The chart below compares the 10 safety-net programs slated for deep cuts with the cost of the tax breaks that should also be considered for reduction or elimination to bring the budget into balance. The column on the left is a list of safety-net programs that have already been targets of the House leadership’s budget ax. The column on the right is the cost to specified tax breaks (see bottom of page for sources)."
(Please visit the Center for American Progress link above to see the eye-opening chart.)
