Did you flunk reading too?

The message there is that if you use a graduated income tax and then cut taxes, the highest earners will get the most benefit. It points out that the effect the liberals decry so loudly about every tax cut is ONE THEY THEMSELVES CAUSED! Not George Bush. Not me. The proponents of a graduated tax.

You want to avoid that effect? Then use an inversely graduated scale. Then when you cut the lowest earners will get the highest percentage benefit.

You're at the low end of the income scale yourself, aren't you? And green with envy. You must be or you would see this for what it is- -a mathematical effect- -rather than a moral issue.
