You know what's worse? A good 40% of the working population received no tax cuts at all as they pay no income taxes - this is due to the fact their incomes are low.
And the truth shall set you free!
Why don't these low income workers go for the high paying jobs? Look on any job site and you will find several jobs paying $80,000+. Why the fawk don't they snatch that job! Please, tell me why they don't.
The rest of us got a tax break...

You need to brush up on how the capitalist system works. Not everybody can go into high paying jobs you know that right? Market forces dictate a broad lower class to keep the economy running. If everybody was able to get that high paying job then the market would re-adjust as those 'special jobs' will no longer be special - much like flooding the market with diamonds - this will devalue their worth.
Correction. everyone CAN, but not everyone WILL.
The higher paying jobs are achievable, but they aren't handed out like prizes. you actually have to earn it.

That said, 1/4 of a dollar for ever gallon is ridiculously excessive.

Sessions first move was to remove the leash on private prisons and tried to attack the weed market with a hint of new 'stop and frisk' law... That failed.
We gotta make the rich get richer somehow right. The war industry is dying...

I thought unleaded is around the $4.60 a gallon, (American) at present??
Anyway, the 25% figure is a bad figure psychologically, not hard to figure that's another quarter of the whole thing added onto the cost, and a quarter is a lot in any body's book.
What's more fuel prices tend to be very 'volatile' in the US.
