In your haste to be cute, you failed to read my posting or you just did not understand it. First, let's look at a definition:
Aggregate: taking all units as a whole.
In other words, when I said, "...we know that the tax cut for the rich, when considered in
aggregate, went heavily to the non-wealthy," I was talking about the total of all the dollars allocated from the Bush tax cuts for those under $250,000 and those above $250,000. I originally learned this fact from CNN, but cannot locate the link tonight. Here is just one source from which I got my information:
"An August report by the Congressional Budget Office actually shows a higher figure of $3.9 trillion as the 10-year cost of extending the cuts and patching the AMT. The U.S. Department of Treasury in February estimated the cost a little higher than $3.7 trillion.
In case you’re curious, extending tax cuts for those earning more than $250,000 a year accounts for about $679 billion for the 10 years while patching the AMT accounts for about $672 billion, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center."
PolitiFact Virginia | Bobby Scott said the budget will be "close to" balanced in four years if the Bush tax cuts expire on schedule
By the way, CNN had reported that the figures were total of $3.7 trillion divided thusly: Under $250,000 income - $3 trillion; over $250,000 income - $700 billion.
