Piece on the alternative minimum tax by congressional district
I’ve got a new short piece estimating the impact of the alternative minimum tax (AMT) by all 435 congressional districts and the District of Columbia for 2004. Here’s the intro:

FYI, we also ran the numbers by state, by county, and by MSA. And we’ve also got it by ZIP code if anybody wants to email me for it.
