Of course, let the middle class,hard working citizens fit the bill for the wealthy. Isnï¿½t that how it always goes?

The blue collar or working class is the foundation of our society. Quit taking us for gratedï¿½give something back.

I donï¿½t know about the rest of you, but I am so tired of watching the government give tax breaks to the wealthy all the while nailing the average people to the wall.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Do you even have a clue who really foots the bill? The wealthiest pay the most tax. I'm astounded every time someone spouts that stuff that the poor or middle-class are paying all the taxes.

Do you call a $40k income rich? Without a change, AMT descends to lower and lower amounts. Incomes I doubt anyone considers even upper middle class. The people who PAY taxes should get breaks. Not a return of tax dollars for those who never paid taxes in the first place.
