Massive tax cuts for the wealthy are available because of massive budget cuts for social welfare programs. Aren't Tax Cuts WELFARE TOO?

They think they're Robinhoods. Taking from the poor and giving to the wealthy. They have it a**-backwards as usual. No educating them or changing their minds. They are entrenched in that mentality and nothing you can do/say will disabuse them of the certitude of the rightness of their holy cause!! And they have the power. Will it always be that way?

    Hello Rosie:

    Even right wing Tucker Carlson at FOX thinks giving tax breaks to billionaires is wrong.  Watch as he takes Paul Ryan to the woodshed..

    Hello O:

    The Cadillac TAX along with MEDICAID for the poor have been CUT..  One benefits the RICH, and the other one hurts the POOR.  That's the simple answer.

    The Cadillac tax was a tax on people who basically had a good healthcare plan. It was a dumb idea and Obama made exceptions for big labor unions who had plans that were subject to this tax. That is another thing wrong with Obamacare, president Obama made changes to the law AFTER it was passed. Exemptions to the Cadillac tax is just one example. The Cadillac tax hurt both the poor and the rich.
    What cuts have been made to medicare?

    Hello again, O:

    I didn't say MediCARE, I said MediCAID..  The Medicaid expansion that insured 20 MILLION poor people will END in 2020.  Those people will DIE IN THE STREET.
