Meanwhile, 85% of the benefits of Trump's tax cuts went to taxpayers earning more than $75,000. - Bansky

That 10% of the taxpayers pay 90% of the taxes and half the population pays no taxes at all distorts the favoritism implied by such statements.

Let's take Trumps thumb off the scale and cut taxes by for example a flat 10% for every taxpayer. The math results in, oh the horror, 90% of the savings going to those rich guys paying the majority of taxes in the first place.

You know what, evil Trump is at it again. When elected, he promises to eliminate taxes on tips which of course only benefits his millionaire-on-a-tip-income buddies.
