But why?
Well, just remember: you asked. First of all, you have this fool trying to establish an economic stimulus by cutting taxes for America's wealthiest 1%. Now, a fellow named Alexis de Tocqueville visited America during the birth of democracy, and he made several observations of American democracy (including the class system). In an essay, Tocqueville wrote about how the country's economy is literally controlled by the middle class. Middle class families work the hardest. Why? They're scared to be poor, and think that they're too close to poverty to take fifteen sick days a month at their jobs. In addition, the blue-collar middle class gets their money, and they immediately spend it. They buy their children school clothing from popular brands. They eat out at Burger King or Old Country Buffet once or twice a week. They watch movies at the theater on Fridays. They pay for babysitters frequently. Now, what does America's wealthiest 1% do with a paycheck? Toss it into the trust fund, hand it to their stockbroker, etc. Now, when they perform the tax cut, the wealthiest 1% won't even know they have extra money. That $72,000 extra they receive will end up in their sons' or daughters' trust funds for Harvard. The key here is to give the middle class more money to spend, not the wealthy. They have everything already; in their eyes, the middle class families never have enough, and they never will.
The funniest thing was when they interviewed this million-dollar lawyer, who said he agreed with the tax cut (surprise!). The interviewer asked him how he, a millionaire, could relate to the middle class and how the tax cut is beneficial to everyone. His response was that his father works for the USPS and his brother works at some electrical engineering company; both were laid off. He said, "Those are the type of people I represent." So what? Seriously...
