It gets hammered so much that I'd guess 9 out of 10 believe it's true. Fact is, percentage wise, the tax cuts have given much more back to the poor and middle class.

"Sixty percent of the benefits from his tax cuts go to the wealthiest 10% of Americans—and that’s not the kind of tax relief that Americans need. … Gov. Bush wants to spend the entire surplus on tax cuts. I don’t believe the wealthiest 10% of Americans should get 60% of the tax breaks. I think the lowest 10% should get the breaks. …
So your saying that for the last 8 years now, Corporate America has not has not reaped the benefits of the conservatives "Contract with America" the GOP has been muscled away from its true ideals...."---John McCain

155 billion in corporate tax cuts in 2004....I highly doubt you are a corporate tycoon so I assume your taxes have stedily risen along with your gas and food prices, all the while your home value decreased and we are in a War that is bleeding billions a month.....Mission Accomplished.

Well, she IS a MILF! If I were a heterosexual she'd totally be my type---she has that intellectual look to her, yet she still seems very down-to-earth.
