Tracey Mann’s deceptive stats
According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), in state-level tax packages similar to those debated in 2024:
• The middle 20% of earners (the "middle class") received an average cut of about $116.
• The lowest 20% of earners received an average cut of roughly $58.
Why the Gap?
The $2,300 figure represents a "mean" average. In tax policy, the mean is often much higher than the median because the largest benefits flow to the top percentages of earners.
