The main point is that the poor & lower middle class (about 50% of Americans) pay no income tax and hence can get no tax cuts. High incomes pay most of it, the exact proportions are not relevant, just the principle. The headline claims that the poor will pay more taxes (that is false) or get no benefits from Trump's tax cuts (misleadingbecause they already have 100% tax cuts). I am not talking about morality just basic understanding how a progressive tax works.
