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?

You don't really have the slightest clue as to what's happening before your very eyes, do you? The US middle class is being systematically wiped out, and you're all for it. Over the last several decades, it has continuously shrunk, and right now about 90% of the wealth is owned by 8% of the people. And guess where your bread & butter comes from? That's right, the middle the class. They're the people who keep money flowing into your bank account.
You're a hard-core conservative, and are all for less government, lower taxes, plus cut the spending, right? Take a wild guess as to where that's going to lead to. Keep taxes low for the rich, plus cut spending, which will have to come from somewhere (social security, Medicare, unemployment, VA, whatever).
Continue pushing that agenda, and you're going to end up with a country that has rich elites, a bunch of slaves, and a bunch of homeless. That's it though, and that's what your country will consist of. And guess what? You're not a rich elite, and there won't be anyone around with enough money to buy your porn anymore, so you'll be shit out of luck too.
