The median 5th of earners earned from 30-48K last year, which includes a huge chunk of people who pay zero federal income tax. A $780 tax cut in to someon who only pays $1000 is not insubstantial. It's kinda the way math works - if you cut taxes for everyone, the people who pay the most taxes in absolute dollars will see the most benefit. Oh, and you're not disproving my point - claiming a tax cut is not a tax cut because when people in fact paid less in taxes is kinda hard to do.
