"only the rich "deserve" the breaks because they are the "goose that lays the golden egg" for the rest of the community/nation."
Wow! I didn't know anyone actually believed the fable of Reaganomics after so many years of failure. Maybe some pictures will help. They're old but still apply -
1. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to economic growth.
2. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to income growth.
3. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to wage growth.
4. Cutting the top tax rate does not lead to job creation.
