Nobody has advocated cutting anything (though they should).
The top 10% of wage earners in America pay 70% of federal income taxes.
The top 40% pay 106% of federal income taxes.
The bottom 40% pay 9% of income taxes.
Tax incentives to businesses are usually tied to job creation, which gives people a method of raising themselves from the bottom 40% to the top 40%.
In America, the opportunities are there. No, the field isn't perfectly level but what field is in the real world. The fact is, if you are poor it's likely because you chose to be poor. You made poor decisions. You didn't take advantage of the education opportunities, you chose to make babies while a dependent child, you wasted your time on drugs and partying, you got into trouble with the law, you'd rather play video games than work or whatever your case may be. Bill Gates couldn't afford to make payroll when he started Microsoft in his garage. Jan Koum was a Ukranian immigrant and dirt poor 20 years ago. He just sold WhatsApp to Facebook and now he's worth $6.8 BILLION.
You can sit around and cry about the evil wealthy or you can go out and make something of yourself. It's your choice. Just think of how many people you could help with $6.8 billion. Isn't that better than living off the taxes of others, which you surely do if you're in the bottom 40% of wage earners?
