Is the EIC - Earned Income Credit, going away? If not, those low income families will continue to pay no federal taxes anyway, which makes most of this a moot point.
HOPTE - Didn't you as a liberal, want to pay higher taxes (or only "other people) This bill will allow you to do so. Of course, any person who has advocated for higher taxes has always had the ability to pay the IRS more.
Wouldn't you rather pay what we owe instead of running up more debt, aren't you tired of spending your grandchildrens money?
If someone came to you asking for a hand out because they maxed out their credit card going to Vegas, you would laugh in their face.
Yet here we go again running up the debt for no real reason except to give billionaires tax breaks (with just enough temporary cuts to sell it to the gullible).
Stop spending trillions in wars we don't need to fight, cap the military spending at 100% of what the rest of the world spends, stop spending billions in tax breaks to businesses that don't need them. Then I will be happy to pay more in taxes for things that actually benefit the next generation. Just don't play the fiscal responsibility card, because the GOP isn't even close to that.
Tax and Spend -vs- Borrow and Spend, Which is more responsible?
