You go to the restaurant with nine other guys. You are not friends, but you have agreed in advance that you will meet every week for dinner, and that the bill will be divided according to ability to pay. All ten eat, and the waiter gives you the bill for $100. You don't pay. Your buddy doesn't pay. Two guys pay a dollar. Two guys pay three dollars. Two guys pay five dollars. The last two guys pay the rest, $82. As you are leaving, the waiter runs out saying there is a terrible mistake and he double-charged you. He give two guys $41, exactly in accord with what they contributed. Two get $1.50, two get $.50. You and you cohort get nothing.

You are angry because you get nothing, so you kill the two guys who got back $41 and take their money. Now who pays for the dinner next week?

That, in essence, is the argument the democrats are attempting to foist off on the American people. The guys who get nothing back from the tax cut are mad, but they sure as heck better not kill the guys who got back $41.
