    Of course the majority in any tax cut goes to corporations and the wealthy.


    They pay the most taxes.

    The tax code from over a half century ago was designed to put you into a higher tax bracket the wealthier you became. Why is this not fair, as your needs are being met.
    What argument are you making

    I'm saying that a 1 percent tax cut for the wealthy is bigger than a 10 percent for the common folk

    So when people throw out "most goes to the wealthy and corporations" well duh
    This is the point everyone misses. The tax cut is sold to grow the economy. If you give $1,000 to 10 middle class people. Every dollar off they goes back into the economy. If you give that same $10,000 to Bill Gates, he won't even notice it.

    While some corporations are giving bonuses and pay raises. Which is great. That's fractions of their cut. The majority is going to the stockholders through dividends and growth. And the vast majority of stock is not owned by the middle class.

    If the government has too much money, then I fully agree it should go to the wealthy.
    Money is being repatriated that NEVER would have come back. Lots of the money from cuts is going into expansion and hiring employees to fill the new jobs.

    I know this goes against your "the government will take care of me" mantra but get the hell over it comrade!
    Please to show us the spending cuts.
    "Time to slash this out of control government growth and overreach then the government won't need as much in taxes and they can be cut some more!

    Cutting taxes without cutting spending is dumb and bad.

    Progressives are backed into corner after 8 years promoting economic and personal virtues of being on food stamps and welfare now trying to diss work and $1000 bonuses and still portray capitalism as heartless

    Running up the deficit is irresponsible.

    Its not working this way though. The percentage points are lower for the poorest and higher for the wealthiest. This is from what I have read anyways.
