if you didnt get a tax cut recently you probably dont work
Actually, those who didn't get a tax cut under the recent tax reform are those who live in high tax blue states, have higher than average incomes, have costlier than average homes, and therefore pay high SALT (state and local taxes). The formerly unlimited SALT tax deduction loophole is now capped at $10,000.

"A $1 million-plus wage earner came to her tax preparer last weekend to see what the Trump tax cuts, which went into effect for the 2018 tax year, would mean for her tax return due April 15. And boy, was she disappointed. Last year, she deducted $245,500 in real estate taxes, state income taxes and personal property taxes. This year her deduction for these state and local taxes was limited to just $10,000, because of the new SALT cap.
“It’s a real hit,” says her tax pro, Claudia Hill, an enrolled agent in Cupertino, California. “This is why people who have this kind of situation are screaming.”
...To fully benefit from the reduction in the top income tax rate, you’d have to live in a state with no state income tax, says tax lawyer Kaye Thomas, who figures that California’s highest earners are facing a federal effective rate that’s 2.7 percentage points higher in 2018 than 2017 because of the interaction between state and federal taxes. (He explains the math in Tax Reform’s Wealthy Losers)."
I dont know about the right "hating families" sounds like hyperbole to me, but you are advocating for govt child rearing in leu of a strong family unit, which is a decidedly leftist proposition.
When a nation's wealth is enjoyed by fewer and fewer people. Families suffer. Nothing complicated about that.
If the socialist democracies are doing it, I'm fine with that. Try to convince their citizens to switch to our profit driven medical system that bankrupts people.
So... you think you can convince voters in US households with $59,000/year incomes to pay an effective 45% federal tax rate?
Well, why the hell haven't you yet done so? What's stopping you?

Govt childcare wont address the problems created by cronyism,money printing and interest rate manipulation, it will just make those things seem more palatable.
You may want to educate yourself on the real purpose of the fed reserve. https://mises.org/library/case-against-fed-0
Warning: it will require you to think outside your state made box
Low income parents already have it too good with all their tax credits and pre-existing handouts...like the boatloads of food stamps they are getting. They don't need another handout. In the end the rich won't pay for this. Instead they will do what they always do...run up our debt. If financial collapse (from too much debt) is what it takes to stop the handouts from flowing I say bring it on.
People do take campaign promises literally. From both sides. You don't want your side to be held accountable. Just mine.
No I dont believe they do. It's said only 2 presidents were able to keep their campaign promises so If people take them seriously they aren't reasonable people.
Personally I'm on the side of all legal citizens, democrat, republican, libertarian, independent.
