It's not stupidity on their part, it is actually quite brilliant.  They know there are a lot more voters in the lower income bracket than high income and so they routinely appeal to class envy as a way to garner votes. And they also work tirelessly to get more and more of those people dependent on the govt for something so they can demagouge anything Republican as stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.

And they can count on the 0.5%ers to go along because most of them either live off the govt teet and/or have the financial wherewithal to avoid paying taxes at the high rates.  The stupid ones are the middle and upper middle class (the backbone of the economy) falling for this class envy crap simply because they don't feel rich.  You could take 100% of the income of the top 1% and it won't run the Federal govt for even a month.  The middle and lower middle class is where all the money is and this tax bill will save them lots on their taxes.  And they are the ones that will benefit most from an improved economy although the working poor will also see a big boost.  And yes, the 1%ers will also benefit.  You know , a win win for everyone except the big government types.
