Conservative commentators Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly regularly rail against President Obama’s budget which would fix the Bush tax system and invest in education, energy and health. Maybe it’s because Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck benefit tremendously from the broken status quo.

According to a new analysis, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly each save over $400,000 per year under the current Bush tax system.

These savings for O’Reilly and Beck come from the lower tax rates for the top two income brackets implemented by President Bush, and doesn’t factor in their additional savings from Bush’s historically low tax rates on dividends and capital gains.

President Obama’s budget would restore fairness to the tax code by returning the tax rates for the richest two percent to what they were in the 1990′s, while cutting taxes for 95 percent of American families. When this happens, Beck and O’Reilly’s savings will be reversed.

To see how much you and your family would save, see our new ‘Making Work Pay’ tax cut calculator here.

Beck and O’Reilly are each paid over $10 million every year — more than 99.9 percent of Americans. This is a conservative estimate as it only includes their income from Beck’s $10 million annual contract with Premiere Radio Network and Bill O’Reilly’s contract with Fox News.

By opposing Obama’s budget and protecting their Bush tax giveaway, Beck and O’Reilly are denying tax cuts for 95 percent of working American families. Will Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck really deny these cuts and prevent much needed investments in education, health care and energy, all to keep their $400,000 a year?

This week, Republicans have been claiming that President Barack Obama is doing too many things at once and should put aside his plans in order to “fix the economy first,” a charge that the media reinforced over and over.

Today, National Economic Council director Larry Summers explained why it is imperative that Obama walk and chew gum by addressing health care, energy, and education, as they are all part of the economic recovery:

I cannot imagine that it would be rational not to work on making higher education affordable, not to increase financial confidence in the country by doing the work of getting health care costs under control. Not, at a time when there are millions of people unemployed, to be thinking about the sector like energy and the environment where new jobs can be created.

It would seem to me that it would be a manifest abdication of responsibility not, as we thought about recovery, to be thinking about making that recovery as sound and as strong as possible. It would be an abdication of responsibility, at a moment when several million people are unemployed, not to think about in which sectors their reemployment would be most productive.

Watch it:

Eugene Robinson wrote today that what Republicans really want “is to delay or derail the progressive reforms that voters elected President Obama to carry out.” But as we noted in The Progress Report, it is only by making these reforms “that the economy can be set on the path toward long-term sustainability.”
