The tax cut bump is less than 2%. If you're scoring along at home, that's an extra $180-$1,350 annually. If you're making half a million or more, you take home between $44,000 and $125,000. Over a million? The sky's the limit.

And, before the nincompoops ask, yeah, I would gladly pay an extra $15 a month in taxes, especially if it meant the wealthy folks were paying their extra $10,000 a month. But remember, these numbers are on top of the already-low tax rates the wealthy enjoy.
