Reply #32: another ironic part is - the rich get most of the payroll tax cut too

[hfojvt]

46% of the payroll tax cut goes to the richest 20% while only 12.1% of it goes to the bottom 40%. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/hfojvt/160

So while this is a nice article, it is kinda bizarre that the payroll tax cut is being pushed here as some sort of balm to the poor.
