Everyone who earned enough to have any income tax liability, myself included and I'm nowhere near "wealthy", got a rate reduction under Shrubbie's timid little tax cuts.We know that our economy is driven by consumers.

Give the Middle Class a break, get credit into their hands and capital to spread around and the production engine will start up again.
But don't let trifling little facts like that get in the way of your paycheck envy.
