I don't understand why the 2 have anything to do with each other. Why do the other tax cuts that he also promised in the campaign negate the one the middle class is getting. What does the amount the rich and corporations get have anything to do with the middle class?
Here is the reason the two matter. This was sold and promoted as a tax cut for the working middle class.
Let me try again so a first grader could understand. The teacher says I am going to give a pizza party for my students. There is 1 teacher and 8 students. The pizza arrives and is cut in twenty pieces. The teach takes 12 pieces and leaves 8 piece for the 8 students. To make matters worse the teacher just had a full lunch and doesn't need any pizza.
