Last year, when the Republicans went to the mat defending the wealthy, and refused to allow the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthiest Americans only to expire, the trade-off bargained by the Dems agreeing to allow the Republicans richest Americans to keep their tax break on the highest of incomes, was to also temporarily initiate giving poor and middle class families a tiny tax break of their own, about $1000 a year more cash in their pockets, during the recession.
Oh. The Horror.
Now, the Republicans say the Dems can't continue that tiny tax break for the poor unless the Dems offset the cost. Which is really strange, because the Republicans have always directly and deliberately refused to offset the far greater cost of the massive 10-year-long Bush Tax Cuts For The Wealthy, which directly helped put our country trillions into deficit.
Occupy The Voting Booth. The choice is really clear.
