Message | We are already taxing the rich and upper middleclass twice, so why should the pay 30+ % of there income tax when everyone else only pays the 17% income tax and dont have to worry about the luxury tax on top. This is even more socially unfair than the last tax cut you proposed |

Message | Everyone has to worry about the luxury tax. The poor deserve the cut. I already proposed one that cuts everyone but you voted against it, so, there is no point in trying to convince you of anything. |

Message | Everyone does not have to worry about the middle tax, just the ones you dont give a tax cut in this bill |
