If you cut taxes by a given percentage,...

then those who pay more get more back. What's wrong with that? The bottom 50% of taxpayers are only paying 4% of total tax revenues, so why should they expect a tax cut to give them as much money as someone like myself who is paying over $40,000 a year in total taxes?

What is the moral or economic justification for taxing different people at different rates anyway? Why is it that those who pay the most are called "greedy" for wanting to keep more of their income but those who want ever higher taxation to pay for their pet political projects are never called greedy for wanting more of other people's money?
