I have wanted to put this out for a while and this seems the perfect place. I, making significantly less than the median income, got money back in the tax cuts. (I think John Kerry's haircut costs more than my rent).
Obe thing that was eliminated in 2001 was considering graduate school benefits from employers as taxable income. Because of this, I was able to afford getting a master's degree, which, in turn allowed me to earn a higher income.
I am closer to the median income now, however, nowhere near the top two percent and I benfited GREATLY. I am sick of them saying only the rich benefited, because it just isn't true.
I'm also a minority woman and left the Democrat Party permanently when Clinton won the election. Enough was enough. So please liberal elites, don't tell me the Republican Party has nothing to offer for minority women, they've helped me a lot more than you ever have!
