The tax cuts were slanted toward the rich. They didn't take into account payroll taxes, meaning they didn't address the reality that average working people were already paying higher taxes than most upper-income people. They also didn't take into account all the tax write-offs the rich have that the middleclass doesn't. To argue any differently is dishonest.

It was very unfair and merely makes the rich richer and, as we've seen in the latest figures, the poor poorer and the middleclass poorer as well. The dividend tax cuts also benefitted the rich and leisure class. Rewarding passive income over real work. The stats also show the overall tax burden was shifted onto the middleclass. So why does the GOP care about making the rich richer? Doesn't compute.
