 But you also gotta think about tax breaks. You have to. They cost the government money and they put money in our pocket. So if you add up all that money, everything the government does for us, what you learn is that families at the bottom 20% of the income distribution, those are our poorest families, they receive about $26,000 a year from the government. But the average family in the top 20%, like our richest families, they receive about $35,000 a year from the government.
