The middle, lower middle, and lower classes didn't get much in Bush's tax cuts. The upper classes got a fortune (compared to anyone else) from the tax cuts. They really didn't need it, some other folks need it a lot more.

And the last time that taxes where increased before that the rich paid a lot more extra dollars than the poor or middle class did.

If increases hits cost the rich more than the poor or middle class than cuts should help the rich more. Either that or you have a choice between 1 - Taxes almost never changing, or 2 - Taxes for the rich staying on a continually increasing trend until eventually they reach 100% or you decide that its ok for tax cuts to help out the rich more than everyone else.

If you really think government tax policy should be that the rich get $100,000's richer each year, while the poor get a few $Bucks a month

When the rich are paying thousands of times more in taxes then the poor there benefit from the cuts should be thousands of times bigger. If the rich where paying a lower percentage then the poor you might have a point, even more so if they where paying less dollars per person then the poor, but neither one of those is close to being true, quite the opposite.

it's all about party dogma not libertarian.

"Soak the rich" is a rather anti-libertarian idea.
