You need a microsimulation model to answer these
questions. You can find the results of such work
on the web sites of Citizens for Tax Justice,
the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S.
Congress, and the Congressional Budget Office.
But you can't just find any question you might
come up with. Somebody has to have done the
runs and gotten an answer. There are innumerable
permutations possible, and of course each year the
estimates would change. In the not-too-distant
future EPI might have such a model up and running.
Then if you have a question I might be able to
answer it for you, for a reasonable fee, of course.

Max or anybody else with a clue,
Can you recommend anything to this person?

I have a question. Suppose someone wanted to find out what the
net effect on government revenues would be of cutting one or
another tax rate. For example, if the floor for paying any
income tax at all were raised by $10k, or if the middle
bracket's rate were cut by five points, etc. Where is that info
publicly available, in as convenient a form as possible? Are
there good web sites?
