Agree that special interests have disproportionate benefit... Same as it ever was. But the chart is misleading. Lowest incomes don't get much benefit because more than 40%, mostly lower income folks, don't pay federal income taxes in the first place. Hard to cut lower than zero.

Is it a surprise that cutting income tax rates benefits people who pay income taxes the most? If you don't pay income tax, why do you need an income tax cut?

The right to pursue happiness does not give you a right to happiness at the expense of others. If A is more successful than B, B is not entitled to a share of A”s wealth no matter how much A has accumulated. A becoming wealthy does not stop B from also becoming wealthy.

If taxes are Progressive it stands to reason tax relief will be Progressive. Class envy is a joyless character trait. Almost as joyless as the fact Twitter insists on capitalizing Progressive.

I noticed on that chart that people who earn too little to even pay taxes are seeing a tax benefit. How is that? Is it surprising that those who pay higher taxes see higher tax benefits? Time for a Fair Tax so no special interests benefit

Is this chart still true with the standard deduction doubling? It seems on the lowest end that portion by itself would change more than the chart shows.

Media (dem) reports are misleading. The highest income earners pay the bulk of income tax collected by Gov. A % cut in taxes will naturally provide a significantly larger saving for them. Many in middle class pay low incomes taxes, but forget about the payroll taxes they pay.

Very misleading chart. The dollar amounts are intended to incite. However, the percentages are relative. Obviously, my 3% cut is going to be less money on this chart than a rich person’s 2% cut. But, I still got the bigger relative cut.

People who pay the most get the biggest benefit. That’s fair. Even so tax cuts benefit middle class too. Some will complain no matter what.

First off the 16th amendment is in direct violation of the us constitution. The constitution says all taxes should be apportioned. It was never intended that citizens were to pay taxes on their earnings. This is what the ruling class does on Europe ie the social democracy

Joe is angry because folks who pay the huge majority of income tax may get more than he. It's a problem, but the tax bill isn't the problem.
