re: Among taxpayers with incomes greater than $10 million, the amount by which their investment tax bill was reduced averaged about $500,000 in 2003, and total tax savings, which included the two Bush tax cuts on compensation, nearly doubled to slightly more than $1 million.

For a million a year I might even vote for the SOB.

Rich gain most from last tax cut, study says


Since they pay the lion's share of the taxes they benefit more in terms of total dollars from almost every major tax cut. And they get hurt more from almost every tax increase.

That would be true if the tax rates oscillated around at a much higher level. It has nothing to do with the the fairness of current tax rates and little to do with the fairness or appropriateness of the most recent tax cuts.

Who should benefit from tax reduction? Any sane person would expect that taxpayers would be the beneficiaries of tax cuts. Those that expect the roughly 49% of Americans who pay no taxes to benefit are not rational.

"Rich gain most from last tax cut, study says"

It is very interesting the number of irrational people who feel compelled to share their opinions. Some of them actually get published by whacko sites like sfgate.
