Do working folks get a tax reduction when the Republicans finish |
|
gutting the EPA, social programs, social security, medicare and medicaid? If the government saves that money, shouldn't it come back to us since we'll have to step up and take care of the homeless, elderly and sick? Exactly what do the Republicans think will happen to all the people who lose their lifelines? Do they think they'll just disappear?

That's how it works. You will NOT end up with a net reduction in taxes. (unless you make over $1,000,000 a year)

for the rich. That's what makes it so insulting. It claimed to be a budget balancing proposal, but it includes big tax cuts for the rich.
