Poor are nickel and dimed to death while.....
....the Rich are getting their boats floated.

The Rich are taxed less now than they were just a few years ago, while the poor pay more and more. The rich are a minority of the population, yet they were targeted for tax breaks. Sounds like minority discrimination, eh?

Meanwhile, the deficit balloons ever larger. Who do you think will pay off that debt? The way things are going now, you can bet it will be the ever ballooning poor.

1. you're right - and some R's are looking for more ways to cut waste
by going after the poor, once again. I don't get the brain freeze these kinds of politicians must have - why can't they follow the money and see where it all is - and where it all went recently? Doh!
