Bush's $1.6 trillion tax-cut plan - the core of which is a simplification of the current five-bracket income-tax system of 15 percent, 28 percent, 31 percent, 36 percent and 39.6 to four, lower ones of 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent - is not primarily a sweetheart deal for the rich...

Lower across the board, lower for everybody.
