Has anyone done any work on the Treasary Reciept on Roth Rollover taxes from 1998-2001?

My better half and I left a company in 1998 after working for that company for 13 years. I Rollover her and my 401k, into an IRA account and then rollover half of that amount into an Roth account. Since the accounts were new that year, the tax event was spread over the next 4 years. This added $12,500 to my A.G.I. and $10,000 to her A.G.I for the next 4 years. The marginal tax rate was about 25%.

Our household taxes were around $35,000 in 2000, and are now down to around $23,000.

How much and how many people paid additional taxes to help balance to decifit. I have not heard anyone make this point with Robert Reich on Kudlow & Co.

Without this additional tax revenue, would the budget have been balance? Are we talking 1% or 10% of additional income?
