When you compare the reduction in tax rate the wealthy have seen over the past 55 years in comparison to the lower income brackets, you can see that the wealthy got much more of a break than the lower brackets, resulting in a shifting of the burden.
Granted, this all happened a few decades ago, but we're still dealing with some of the lowest tax rates since the individual income tax began in this country.
