How are you defining "marginal tax cut"? I take it you mean a reduction in the marginal tax rate?

The rich and poor all get medicare, they all get social security, the all get access to public education, they all get military protection, they all get state department services, they all get access to the highway system. If anything the poor get more cause they get access to the ragbag of goverment safetynet programs. The truth is the rich and poor are basically at the same bar drinking the same beer. That counter argument is not compelling.
