When you talk about this president's tax breaks for the richest one percent, you're accused of being divisive and putting the poor people against the rich.

Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, your ignorance knows no bounds.

Tax cuts, by definition, will only benefit those who pay taxes. Said another way, a tax cut will never benefit anyone who does not pay any taxes to begin with.

In the United Socialist States of America there are the good and the bad. The bad pay taxes, lots of them. They good file tax returns and recieve something called the "earned income tax credit". While this sounds like a big refund, it is nothing of the sort. It is, in fact, a once a year welfare grant to those our masters in Washington have decided are "good" and deserve to be subsidized by the rest of us, the "bad". So tax cuts CAN benefit those who pay no taxes, and in fact the ultimate "Progressive" plan is to increase taxes on the bad while increasing "credits" for the good.
