How often do those who oppose a policy that gives 38 percent of the tax relief to the wealthiest 1 percent, actually show us the money?

Ellen Goodman would apparently oppose any reduction in tax rates for the rich. Since they pay the most taxes an equal reduction in rates will always give them a bigger percentage of the tax relief. Of course when taxes are raised few if any people would argue "we can't increase rates for the rich because 38% of the extra taxes would fall on only one percent of the taxpayers". Since taxes go up and down if we apply Ellen's ideas consistantly you get a policy of soak the rich and then soak them again...
