LB, US income inequality has steadily increased in the last 20 years and now rivals that in some Latin American countries -- the rich are doing great. Democratic countries with similarly skewed income distributions eventually elect leftist governments to redistribute the wealth or worse -- see Latin America. In the US we have not yet reached this point, mainly because the majority of poor voters do not vote. I think it's important for Republican tax cutters to not push their luck because the demographics are very much against them.
