Not qualified to say how well-designed the tax change is in combination with the expanded credit — but the first bracket affects everyone. If you’re in an upper bracket, you pay the corresponding rate for each band of income. (By the same token, changing the basic exemption reduces tax for rich.)
Alison Roman Stew #2. You can cook white beans in the slow cooker ahead of time. As long as you use preserved lemon, almost any green vegetable works (kale, broccoli). Her recipe for white beans with fennel and garlic is also awesome and easy to make.
