While reporters hooted at the comically simplistic charts and lack of details in the House Republican leadership’s budget plan, the green eyeshade types at Citizen’s for Tax Justice crunched the numbers (PDF). They conclude that a quarter of all households, most of them poor, would pay more taxes under the GOP plan, while the richest one percent would pay $100,000 less.

If there were no details, how do they know the poor would be taxed more?

Sounds like the Rush Limbaugh doctrine. I want to keep all my money and use yours to do other things.
