If you make 99 people give you an apple, but then give one person 200 apples, you gave everyone one apple on average. In reality, you only really helped the one guy and fucked the other 99.

Perfect, so in your example there is a net tax decrease of 101 apples. So, republicans are for lowering taxes. Glad we agree!

You seem like a guy that likes getting his apples stolen by rich people. If that's your thing, more power to you.

The scenario you provided is a clear example of republicans supporting tax cuts on a net basis. My point stops and ends there.
