The difference between the 1% and the 0.01% is big politically.
Because the GOP has done a good job persuading the 1% (really, persuading the top 10%, starting at household net worth ~$1M including houses and retirement) that they will benefit from tax cuts. But really only the 0.01% make out big from tax cuts. The 0.01% get a huge tax cut that more than balances out the loss in services they would see.
