It all seems to be circular, this talk about taxes, whether it be support for tax cuts or criticism of progressive taxation. Those who both support tax cuts and criticize progressive taxation are essentially promoting the idea that the poor should pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes while the wealthy should pay less.
I think the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer just fine as it is. If it's not broke, don't fix it, right?
