Republicans don't care. They look forward to a country with greater economic divisions between rich and poor.

And the Democrats don't care, since they're the ones who always spout about things like "the politics of division", all the while trying to exploit those very divisions and point at things and essentially say, "Hey, everyone! Joe Blow there is earning more than you are! Let's get him!!"

Considering a brief glance of the bill (from the OP) shows that this plan gives the middle class a higher tax cut than Obama "gave".. Whats this say for Obama?

How we would I or we be getting the shaft by someone else getting to keep more of the money that THEY earned? They are not taking it from me and giving it to someone else, I never had that money to begin with.

You nailed it, that is their mentality, they seem so obsessed with being anti-"socialist", so their solution is to be anti-Americans

Conversely, your mentality is to steal from productive people to give to those who are, for whatever reason, unproductive.
You label anyone who is against this as "anti-American". Show me in the United States constitution where socialism is promoted.

No, you are obsessed with "socialism". The Constitution is FOR THE PEOPLE. For whatever reason, conservatives think that FOR THE PEOPLE is bad.
