A Democratic plan for big middle class tax breaks

Here is some of what Van Hollen’s proposal would create:

A $1,000 paycheck bonus tax credit: This would provide every worker making up to $100,000 with a $1,000 tax credit — which would reduce their federal tax bill by $1,000.

A saver’s bonus: Any worker who saves at least $500 of his $1,000 tax credit would get an additional $250 to add to his savings.
