There simply isn't all that much tax left to cut in the lower groups. When the top earners are already made to shoulder the vast majority of the burden, of course any cut is going to fall to their benefit.

I don't hate the rich; according to the SOI, I'm one of them. You can point out all you want how the rich pay most of the taxes in this country. That won't erase the fact that the Bush tax cuts, which were sold as middle-class tax relief, didn't relieve the tax burden of the middle class.
