I am getting sick of being lied to.

I called back after seeing this article. Told person answering phone I don't appreciate being lied to by him, in a nice way.

huge cuts for the rich against the increases for the rest of us, it averages to a cut.
Let that sink in...the small number of very wealthy people versus the huge number of us and it still averages to a cut.
This plan really screws us over. Big.
