Everyone does get the $12k, but you can effectively raise taxes to "cancel out" those $12k for the rich, maintaining the same effective tax rate for them.

My point is that you can adjust the tax code so that people over some threshold are paying $12k more than they used to, cancelling out the $12k of income. And counting people who are going to have their taxes raised by $12k in the overall cost is disingenuous. Below that threshold taxes will also likely go up, eating up some of the $12k there as well.

Then we agree :)
