It's just jaw dropping that the GOP can present these ideas to middle class voters and still be taken seriously.

Pawlenty Plan Would Quadruple Tax Cuts For Richest Americans: CBPP

All the while the gap between rich and poor is the greatest in our Nation's history.

You should give the whole truth. Since a flat percentage of their income is a lot more than you and me, they have to pay less when we get a reduction.

wow....that's so horrible!!!

As for the corporate tax cuts, I would remind you that former chief of Staff for Skippy, Rahm Emmanuel is now proposing corporate tax cuts in Chicago in the interest of increasing business there.

How's that trickle UP poverty working for you? Is it any wonder jobs are lost and salaries decline when those who do the hiring and pay the salaries have to carry the federal income tax load for the 47% who pay no federal income tax at all?

The right wing Zombie lie again....

They only quote "income tax" statistics.. to make middle class and poor americans look bad.

"payroll tax" brings in nearly as much revenue as "income tax" and every working american pays those. In fact, middle class and poor americans pay a higher share of their income on payroll tax than the rich do.
