If you look at “breakdown of tax propoals by category” note that it doesn’t account for inflation, for example giving a reduction to everyone for tax cuts. But in the real world, that’s not how it works. Tax cuts that are paid for with deficit spending like these are essentially zero-sum because the price of everything will have to increase to account for spending power. So in other words, it’s even worse for everyone but the 1% than indicated.
