The government was extracting 39.5%, and it went down to 35%. So what? Why was it 39% to begin with? Besides my point is that they were not slashing programs. Any cuts in programs were merely cuts in the planned increases in the budget.

In any case, your language and use of “giveaway” indicates you believe it was their money to begin with.

Again working poor people pay very little in federal taxes as I pointed out. Deductions, and working credits wiped out having much of a tax liability. I don’t see you trumpeting that the initial 15% went down to 10%? Why is that 5% any less important.

Sounds like you are a socialist just wanting to stick it to the man.
