6. If you cared about the poor and "middle class" so much you'd stop stealing from their children
in order to pay off the most well off and giving your policy cover by giving most people a small bribe to give them a piece so they will go along with the theft.

The crucial bit being to get folks and extra ten or twenty a week is a laugh.

BUSH SOLD THIS HAPPY HORSESHIT THE SAME WAY.

If you want relief for the bottom then you have to pay for it from other brackets or create new levels to compensate.

The poor and working class are suffering and have taken the brunt of the quagmire, so where are the effort to give them relief from the current circumstances? Where are the efforts to make sure we build a foundation for regular people to build on?

This deal isn't to help most Americans or even the hardest hit but principally to benefit the top 20% of incomes.

Many of those we are supposedly "helping" will pay increased taxes next year so we can keep the trough open for the pigs. That isn't worrying about the poor and middle. This is looking out for the wealthy and their chosen pets in suburbia.
