The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report back in September that showed that tax breaks for wealthy Americans did not help economy or create job growth.

The report debunked a long-held Republican talking point that cutting taxes for the wealthy somehow creates jobs for the middle class, reports the New York Times.

However, the report was withdrawn because Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that Republicans were offended by words in the report such as "Bush tax cuts" and “tax cuts for the rich.”
