What the GOP’s single largest donor would save under Mitt Romney’s tax plan

think-progress:

  • Romney’s tax plan would personally save Sheldon Adelson a total $2.3 billion in taxes. 
     
  • It saves Adelson approximately $1.5 million in tax cuts on his CEO salary.
     
  • In one year, Adelson could more than earn back his $100 million in political donations, since Romney will save him $120 million on dividend taxes. 
     
  • His casino company would get $1.2 billion in tax cuts. 
     
  • By eliminating the estate tax, Adelson would get a $8.9 billion windfall for his heirs.
