Please show me where I said it only helped the rich, because I didn't say that. But his tax cuts did heavily favor the rich, while placing most of the tax burden on the middle and lower classes.

Lets really breakdown these tax cuts. In order to enact these cuts America had to BORROW money, which has significantly raised our national debt. Someone has to pay this debt off, and that includes us and our children. Here is some data on how the cuts affected Kentucky.

The lowest 20% of the income level had an additional $7,362 dollars in debt per person, while they only averaged a $132 tax cut over the next six years. That results in a additional $7,230 dollars in debt per person. The middle 20% has an added debt of $6,929 per person. All this is occurring while the top 1% of the state will not have debt added, but will have $20,273 to the good. You must be crazy if you can tell me that doesn't benefit the rich. I guess my $100 in savings is really gonna help with the $7,000 in added debt my parents and I will have. You have to look at the whole picture to really understand the issue. The fact that McCain wants to make these tax cuts permenate really just ticks me off, lets just add more debt to the lower classes. If anyone knows their history they will know that the mal-distribution of wealth was a primary factor in the great depression. When all the money and benefits go to the rich, bad things happen.

These numbers are very similar across the country. People just think this money to fund these cuts comes from some magic bank that will never run out of money, and will never require us to pay it back. I thought Conservatives wanted to CONSERVE, not waste money to help the rich.


It's amazing how people only look at the numbers that support their opinion, while ignoring the future impact of these "tax cuts".

I don't have time to respond right now...but I will over the weekend. LOL, haven't seen anything this far out in left field in ages.
