Ask any Democrat. Every single tax cut is always derided as "tax cut for the rich".
Of course it depends upon what you call rich. We have so many special deals and deductions and rate cuts and earned income credits in the tax code, that half the population owes NO federal income tax. Needless to say, if you ain't paying taxes now, a tax cut ain't gonna help ya.
So any tax cut is only going to help the half the population that actually pays taxes. Which is the upper income half of the population. I guess, Democrats can call the upper income half of the population "Rich". In fact they do. I know a lot of people who are employed and making enough money to pay federal income tax, but they aren't rich. They are just getting by, just barely. They need a tax cut.
