Didn't I just read that the top 20%'s share of total taxes dropped from (I'm trying to remember the exact numbers, but I may be off, but I'll have the scope correct, at least) 64.6% to 63.7%
(Those are the folk above $183k/year, so I'm guessing those are the rich to whom you refer when you claim they disproportionately benefit.)
Does that drop - from 64.6% to 63.7% - really justify the kind of false class warfare hysteria we're seeing here?

As I noted a few days ago, looking at the total share of taxes doesn't really measure the disparity in the tax cuts. You have to compare effective tax rates. The top 1% of filers enjoyed a 6% drop in their effective tax rate. The middle class got less than 1%.
And really, Bilmore. I responded to one of your posts with a simple recitation of facts. You call that "false class warfare hysteria." Who's engaging in hyperbole here?
