Tax Loopholes in Coronavirus Relief Bill to Overwhelmingly Benefit the Wealthiest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

stimulus passed by Congress last month will overwhelmingly benefit the

$70 billion temporary tax loophole are millionaires or billionaires.
They'll receive an average windfall of $1.6 million - dwarfing the
$1,200 payments for working Americans.
