Letter: Don't condemn tax cuts because rich benefit most

I think that Zundel may be reading thoughts that were not in my mind. I never said that only the rich should benefit.

I am greatly in favor of making life better for lower-income people, and even the middle-income people of this country.

While taxes may not be an unsupportable burden for the rich, they pay a huge portion of the total taxes that are collected.

I just don't think that we should condemn a tax-reduction plan because the wealthy part of the population would benefit most.

Finally, to refer to a tax cut as a "tax subsidy" is a joke.

It's like calling the fact that you may read this copy of the Sun that you bought "an added bonus" of ownership.
