decisions to cut taxes on the wealthy and give very little help to the non-wealthy
This incorrectly characterizes what's been done, because you're failing to distinguish between cutting tax rates versus cutting tax revenue.
Yes, the tax rate was cut on the rich. However, the result of that was that the rich wound up paying more, but as the amount of revenue they contributed, as well as the portion of the total revenue that their contributions accounted for. Since they were accounting for a greater portion, they most certainly did help the non-wealthy.
It seems to me like you're trying to cut off your nose to spite your face. It's not good enough for you that the wealthy paid more, and paid a greater portion. I believe that you actually want to punish them somehow for being rich, even if it means that the whole system has less and operates less efficiently.
