If your beef is that the current tax system is not sufficiently progressive, then fine, but call it that. Don't dress it up as "tax cuts only for the rich." The problem is that the rich are the only ones who pay enough taxes as it is to have cuts of any significance.

Absolutely unassailable. Why does the GOP not just come out and say this? Why is the debate this "progressive" v. "supply side" shit?
Even the dimest of voters would understand the statement you wrote above, but I never see it simply stated, not even in the WSJ oped page. Why doesn't Bush just say "Hey, it works like this - we all get the same cut, and the guy making more, well, his cut is naturally bigger." I guess that would sound too fair and logical.
