"The lowest wage earners, as always, pay nothing."

Do the lowest wage earners pay property tax through rent, Frank?
Do they pay the City's new car tax which trippled?
Do they pay the same sales tax as you, but make much less?
The same phone taxes?
The same energy and cable taxes?
If you own a company, are you going to direct all the savings into higher wages for your workers?
Should a company obligated to shareholders increase wages if they don't have to with the savings?

Isn't the proposal a huge tax break for business Frank?
How is that going to trickle down exactly?

"...A 2005 Congressional Budget Office study
during the time that Republican Doug Holtz-Eakin was CBO director,
concluded that a 10 percent cut in federal income tax rates
would recoup at most 28 percent of the static revenue loss over 10 years.
Although the economy grows in response to tax reductions
(because of higher consumption in the short run and improved incentives in the long run),
it is unlikely to grow so much that lost tax revenue is completely recovered
by the higher level of economic activity.
The 2003 Economic Report of the President during Bush’s first term
The actual data show pretty convincingly
that the Bush tax cuts reduced revenue rather significantly."

Federal revenue is lower today than it would have been without the tax cuts.
There’s really no dispute among economists about that.

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2010/08/bruce-bartlett-on-tax-cuts-and-revenue.html
You know that the tax cuts have not fueled record revenues.
...You know that the first order effect of cutting taxes is to lower tax revenues.
...No thoughtful person believes that this possible offset
more than compensated...for these tax cuts.
Not a single one.
If I'm wrong, show me the evidence...

There is no credible evidence
tax revenues…rise in the face of lower tax rates…
