House of Bush princeling and candidate of the plutocracy John Ellis "J.E.B.!" Bush is treading water in the Republican race for the Presidential nomination, unable to deflect the barbs of vulgarian narcissist Donald "Rump" Trump. But as much as he's flailing, J.E.B.! is still shameless enough to propose tax cuts that would feather his plump nest if enacted. And fine feathers they would be: nearly $774,000 in tax cuts via reduced rates on high earners. That will buy a lot of exclamation points for the multi-millionaire. While throwing some small change to working families, J.E.B.!'s plan would disproportionately favor the top one percent income bracket, or in other words, J.E.B.!'s donor base. It's another sign (if one was ever needed) that "establishment Republicans" look to the tax code as a means of further enriching themselves, at the expense of middle class taxpayers who have to cover the shortfall and of the public good.
