The individual tax cuts have proposed in such a way that the wealthiest and richest are able to save the largest while poor and low-income group have to pay more or constant.
The inequality debate has gained much ground in a recent decade because of flawed policies and increasingly unequal income ratio.
The top 1 percent have been earning more and more.
