Rob,
You can't really "undo past social engineering." It's already taken
effect. The choices are either to engage in additional social
engineering to attempt to balance or counteract the previous social
engineering, or just leave the situation alone.
Yours in liberty,

subtly engaging in social engineering by disproportionately favoring
some people over others if it were to be cut?"Absolutely. In fact, most real tax cuts we've seen (not including the
Earned Income Tax Credit) have actually undone past social engineering
and
wealth redistribution experiments. Not that it's the best example, but
rather the freshest in memory, the Bush tax cuts supposedly "favored"
the
"rich" at the expense of the "poor". The reality is that the "rich"
had
been having their marginal tax rate ratcheted up year after year,
while the
"poor" who paid no income taxes at all kept receiving more and more
"tax
credits". Bush undid this unequality somewhat by lowering the taxes of
those paying the high rates, i.e., "the rich", while not offering
additional
welfare or "tax credits" to "the poor".
