Wow Cardiffbaseball, you obviously just don’t get it. That reduction of the top marginal fed. rate from 39.6% to 35% by the evil R’s was nothing more than a giveaway to the rich. Sure, in Cali. the rich pay a combined state/fed income tax rate of about 45%, not including SS and medicare (both sides if self-employed). But, hey, they can afford it, and other people really need that money.
Also, you simply must realize that a reduction in benefits to the poor is clearly no different from a tax increase on a middle class person. In both instances, the government is taking something away from somebody, right?
