Ustwo....putting aside the nonsense about cutting the salaries of your employees,, you have still yet to explain how a tax policy that overwhelming benefits the very rich at the expense of huge future deficits is in the interest of the middle class.

A tax policy that overwhelmingly benefits the rich?
The top 50% (half of those are middle class at least), pay 66% of taxes. The top 1% pays 17% of the total taxes. The bottom 50% either pay next-to, or no taxes.
When the EQUAL tax cuts went into effect everyone got the same % cut. That means that the middle class got benefits as well. That money does not simply sit in rich men's vaults, it was used to reinvest.
You honestly see no connection between the tax cuts and the huge growth in investment and property values as ALL classes of families have the highest level of home ownership in US history?
Please inform me how income redistribution will cause economic growth in a capitalistic society. You may be new to politics but it's clear you see that as an issue the government needs to address.
