Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.
The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: MPs must vote against the UK government’s cruel plans to cut social security for people with disabilities.
Poverty is a political choice and choosing to cut support for disabled people and not taxing the super rich is shameful.
