1. this is the only post right now on the general discussion first page. I hope media can

refocus and warn the bottom 99% about what might happen wrt taxes and spending.

Not only does the middle class miss out on 80% of the tax cut, but cutting taxes WILL RESULT IN CUTS TO VITAL PROGRAMS AND SAFETY NETS. This is why the dems have already lost...all they are doing is arguing about who is going to get what tax cuts, which is important because it's another give away to the wealthy, but....we should FIRST be talking about what the cuts mean.

How many programs cut by how much? Why can't dems say that we FIRST have to decide how much we want to spend on vital programs THEN see if there's room for any tax cuts? Rather, the Rs have kept the discussion on the tax cut side, not the programs side. Failure of messaging on the dems part.
