re: Tax Cuts - The Lunch Analogy

If those ten people who work together represent the American public, then one of the them is a CEO, others are managers and supervisors, a few more are low level associates, and the bottom four vacuum the floors, deliver the coffee to the office, etc.
The CEO orders surf and turf, the supervisors order rib eyes, the associates get burgers, and the remaining four eat a large serving of complimentary bread and split an appetizer amongst themselves.
The CEO's entree represents the majority of the bill and the appetizer is only a fraction. The $10 discount goes into the CEOs pocket and that amount never trickles down into the pockets of anyone else because the CEO decided he wants some bread pudding after all.
However the bread pudding is served to him on the house. The $10 stays tucked away in his coat pocket. It will come in handy months later when he needs to tip the Russian girl he invited to his hotel while vacationing in Europe.

You think that CEO's (the wealthy in this analogy) are really what's driving the spending in our country???
They get the same medicare and social security as everyone else. And they don't even use Medicaid.
How is it the rich are spending more? If ANYTHING the poor cost the government more in spending (which is how it should be). Your analogy is exactly reversed. The 6 broke dudes ordered the steak and are upset the CEO will be paying less.

Someone doesn't understand how the analogy works

It doesn't matter who orders what.
At the end of the day 4 people are having their lunch paid for by others, whatever they ordered. They contribute nothing to the bill so they really should have no say in anything regarding the refund.

Only in the mind of the progressive left does it make sense that the folks WHO ARE EATING FOR FREE get to dictate what they and the paying customers are eating, as well as claim a share of a refund on a bill they contributed exactly $0 in paying.

Not only did you misunderstand the analogy, you got the logic of it backwards.
Extending the analogy, the paying six have more and better food and drink at home, so they don't eat as much at the restaurant.
The 4 non-payers not only don't have the quantity and quality of food at home, they know that the bill won't be itemized so nobody will know how much each of the 4 individually ordered. No accountability, so they go nuts and order however much of anything they want on the menu.
THEN they bitch because they didn't get any of the $10 refund.
