I just saw a clip of Ben Affleck saying that he saved $1.5 million because of the Bush tax cuts, and he wonders if anyone thinks that that is right.

How in the FUCK is someone making, say, $15,000 a year going to save $1.5 million in an across the board tax cut? Are we supposed to take Ben's money and just give the poor guy a huge check, and not have him pay any taxes?

There is no such thing as tax cuts that will save the poor people millions of dollars because the bottom 50% of wage earners aren't writing checks worth anything - they pay less than 4% of the taxes that the government takes in.

Yes - the top half of income earners in the country pay over 96% of the taxes.

This page explains it well. Yes it's on extremely right winger Rush Limbaugh's web site, but I would be interested to see if anyone can read that and explain to me how what Ben Affleck said makes any sense, when low wage earners have no ability to have huge tax cuts, because they don't pay shit to begin with.
