I'm fine with tax cuts not being evenly distributed... the


tax base to begin with is not evenly distributed. What I'm not fine with is when the tax base is not evenly distributed and there are special provisions which favor very high earners (like carried interest and potentially pass through). That is generally not the case as the top 1% pay as much in taxes as the bottom 96% combined (despite earning 1/3 the amount of income as the bottom 96%), but these loopholes for the super rich really piss me off.
