#My2k: What $2,000 means to Americans
If Congress fails to act before the end of the year, every American family’s taxes will automatically go up. A typical middle-class family would see its taxes rise by $2,200 next year. Americans across the country share what $2,000 means to them on Twitter with #My2k, facebook and at wh.gov/my2k.
