Who mentioned corporate tax rates? There is a simple widely accepted measure for economic inequality, the Ginii index, where the USA have steadily moved towards greater inequality, from a starting point that is already a lot more unequal than other NATO or western nations. You even seem to agree that this latest tax reform will not fundamentally change this course.
This is a much more comprehensive measure than looking at individual tax rates or even the tax systems progressiveness. Sure, of what poor Americans earn, they might keep comparably more but that is of little use when illness costs them their job and many times their net worth - their companions in Germany, France and Sweden might pay a 40% tax rate but they are not paying out of pocket for healthcare.
