There is a question as to how much this tax cut bill actually helps the middle class. so we fight over the question. the right question is how much it helps those who are wealthy. what percentage of the total reduction in tax revenue comes from the wealthy. Well let's be realistic. If the top one percent pays ninety percentage of the taxes , then the total tax revenue lost from a even tax cut would be 90% for the wealthy. If one wish to argue the benefit to the middle class, one needs to show how the middle class tax cut is a greater percentage difference in lost revenue than the wealthy's tax cuts in lost revenue. Now try to spin that one...It's an impossibility. One can only make a case for the other way around. If you want to be real about it... just say the cuts help the wealthy... MORE than the middle class.. and explain your reasons why that's a 'good thing". Just because you give a dog a bone... doesn't mean you can pretend there's meat on it

Get real maisie, The writings on the wall. the bullshit may fly, but the sh*t still stink. Now what's the writing on the wall?... well its a win/ win situation for the Republicans. Cut taxes are needed for the wealthy, because the wealthy are the ones that, actually pay for entitlement programs. There's is difficulty in directly cutting thing such as medicaid and Obamacare. But in a round about way it can become, the MAIN purpose of the Tax cuts. What happens is the Republican view the tax cuts as essential to the country, and then.... what that does.. is to make it essential to cut entitlement programs, to try and balance it out... it's kind of bass-ackwards.. but then again.. Republicans will take it, any way they can get it.
