bottom line though most in the middle class recieve so little of either that it's meaningless as far as their lives go.
You got 3% and are thankfull while the guy making 2 -5 times your income got double that %, multiplied but his income, that's some real coin in his pocket. [/B]

This is probably because the middle class pays SO LITTLE of the US income tax, whereas the upper classes pay the vast majority of it.
The top 10% pay almost 65% of all income tax in the US(see my little pie chart above).
The bottom 50% of earners pay a whooping 5% of the national income tax.
So in that light, how CAN they see a huge gain even from a massive tax cut?
Answer: They can't.
