Heritage Foundation Responds to White House's Austan Goolsbee

The best response would be to point out that it is not the government's money. It does not cost the government anything to maintain the tax cut; they are not giving money to people, just not taking as much as they would otherwise. Your paycheck does not belong to the government. You pay check belongs to you, a (rather large and possibly increasing sized) piece is taken from you by the government in taxes. By the logic in this video, if they tax you at 50% it really means that they are giving you half you paycheck. In reality they would not be giving you half back, they would be taking away half.
