The CG tax cut passed only at the behest of Clinton in order to get his balanced budget deal. Would never have made it otherwise. So it was more Clinton than the Congressional dems, and less a tax intiative than a budget one (no less incorrect). There is more general delusion about budget balance than tax cuts for the rich among Dems, even on this list.
