The shrub's tax cuts: Ten years later

"High-income families benefited from the top marginal rate falling. Billionaires benefited from lightly taxed dividend income. And government receipts, in turn, dropped.... The bottom 80 percent of filers received about 35 percent of the cuts. The top 20 percent received about 65 percent—and the top 1 percent alone claimed 38 percent."

~ Annie Lowrey, Salon

The shrub's tax cuts 10th anniversary: Very rich did very well, what about the American people?
