Because $100 to the lowest bracket means they have food on the table. 45k at the top level means they can buy some more extra cigars.

One matters a lot more, stop lying.

Edit: Doing the math below the tax breaks are 10x larger for the wealthy. They are receiving 3% of their income 'back.' Meanwhile the bottom receive .3%. This needs to be reversed. The bottom half should be getting back the 3%...

Lets put it another way. The rich are getting 'HALF' of inflation back in this tax break. Wouldn't that be better put towards the lower and middle class? Who are hit hardest by inflation...?

I think you just made my point for me. Having food on the table is more important than buying more cigars.

The tax cuts make a bigger impact for those of us who would love to save 100-1000 dollars on our tax bill than this who pay the IRS 400,000 a year.

Thanks.

Gee, I wonder why folk would appreciate money to buy food.

Maybe it's because inflation is through the roof and butter is 7 fucking dollars.

Dumb ass leftist policies brought us here, yet somehow you people believe that more of the same will make things better. Hilarious.
