I don't know anything, I can't vote (even if I pay a lot of taxes). But to me the above story has little to do with reality.
Usually tax cuts are not spread evenly (in %) among the tax payers.
I am not here to criticize or to sustain Bush's program. But to say that liberals/democrats are idiots when criticizing the tax cut plan is misleading and reductive.
There are ways to "direct" cuts to the class you want. How many low income people have a big stock portfolio that benefits from an hypotetical reduction of capital gain taxes on speculative investments?
Also I think taxes are a civil duty. For the rich to walk away is wrong. I don't like paying taxes (especially when i get so little back from the government) but it is what it is.
