Tax holiday expiration hitting low-income Americans hard

31. no, what I value is

tax breaks for the poor over tax breaks to the rich

and the accursed payroll tax cut is a tax break for the rich

you still cannot figure out that 2% of $114,000 is far, far more than 2% of $14,000.

(hint: one of them is $2,280 and the other is $280)

That other things could have done is very meaningful because other things might have been tax breaks for the poor. The accursed payroll tax cut was done though, because it is a tax break for the rich.

It gave $52 billion to the richest 20% and only $30.4 billion to the bottom 60%.

I don't understand how people can not see that as a tax break for the rich. I guess a bunch of lies from politicians and the mass media mean more to some people than basic math.
