It’s been some time since I’ve dealt with this topic, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics maintains data on geographic salary differentials. This is not a perfect way of dealing with this problem, but it’s a start.
BTW, Mr. Middon and I have decided to call the payments Yang Checks.

Of course. That’s the whole, entire point. Austerity for blue states, and socialism for red states (which already get more than their fair share).
I don’t know, why don’t you give us a break down?
There are many very wealthy celebrities whom could do help fund food banks. However, they chose to sing a song to lift peoples spirits.
I’m not so sure that they are. From what I’ve been seeing, people who were too poor to owe much federal income tax will get less, and people who were too poor to owe any – in other words, the people who need it most – may not get anything.

I don’t know either, which is why I asked. Have you any information to offer?
More problematic than the income cap is that non-taxpayers will get less money, with a minimum of $600 in the current GOP bill. It’s causing some internal divisions so we’ll see.

I’m certainly not making anything like it THIS year.
Inheritances arent taxable? 
Income from what you got from the inheritance?
Well, you answered Divemaster’s question; Dopers can turn any GOP legislation–even if it’s designed to help the less-off–into a screed.
Inheritance is not considered income.
This is your only rebuttal to my observation that this is a politically motivated package?
Various of us may look at GOP offerings and find them inadequate. Screeds ensue. Fun.
So now there are three ongoing proposals:
