As the Center for American Progress noted, the Bush tax cuts delivered a third of their total benefitsto the wealthiest 1% of Americans. And to be sure, their payday wasstaggering. As the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities detailed, by 2007millionaires on average pocketed $120,000 from the Bush tax cuts of2001 and 2003. Those in the top 1% stashed an extra $45,000 a year. Asa result, millionaires saw their after-tax incomesrise by 7.6%, while the gains for the middle quintile and bottom 20% ofAmericans were a paltry 2.3% and 0.4%, respectively. (Another CBPPstudy demonstrated that the Bush tax cuts accounted for half of the mushrooming deficits during his tenure in the White House.)
