Once again, the people are steered away from how much money a tax cut saved them and are instead focused on "who made the most money from the tax cut."

Most of you have received the email about the guys who together drank beer every week and who benefitted from the bar's price decrease. It eventually resulted in the group not being able to pay for their drinks, because the savings were not passed on to the group that paid the largest percentage of the bill.

In any event, if my tax bracket pays 70% of the total taxes, how can you complain when my bracket gets 10% of the money saved under a proposed tax cut?
