Jeb Bush says that under his tax reform plan, the average American will save nearly $2,000 in after-tax income. In an op-ed in USA Today last week, Bush wrote that that translate, “Two thousand dollars is four mortgage payments for the median American household; or eight months of gas; or six months of utilities; or about three months of groceries. Better yet, if a family were to invest the $2,000 they would save annually over a 20-year period and at compounded interest rate of 8%, they would accumulate a nest egg of $108,000 to help better prepare them for a comfortable retirement.”

Now to bring that message directly to the voters (especially those in Iowa and New Hampshire), the Bush campaign has a new web video out today, where they ask: What would you do that extra $2K?
