if you're married and have a taxable income of $40k you pay $5,169.00 (roughly 13% of your income) for the luxury of living in the united states.
if you're married and have a taxable income of $1mil you pay $320,362.00 (roughly 32% of your income) for that exact same luxury.
just to recap, if the $1mil guy didn't pay 61 times the amount of tax that the $40k guy did, imagine how worse off your life would be.
How do you justify the crassness of wanting to deny them the tax cut that YOU yourself, who pay 61 times less in taxes than they do, enjoy?

It's not even a "tax cut". It's like a partial refund. They rip off the rich and then give a little back, and people bitch because they give them a little bit of THEIR own money back.
And it's not even so much that the person who makes a million pays 61 times more. Naturally the more you make the more you pay. However the tax rate should be the same for everyone. Everyone should pay 25% or whatever. Just because you make more and are successful, doesn't give them a right to bump you up to the 35% bracket. So then they give you a "break" and you only pay 32% and people still bitch the same people who are getting taxed at a 20% rate... the nerve. People are stupid. There is no justification for raping rich people just because they have more money.
