10. The tax cuts favored the wealthy in a laughably unfair way. |

We found a way not only to refrain from spending even more but also of ending up with a surplus and that was at a top tax rate of less than 40%. I guess I just don't understand arguments that would favor the wealthy in a way that would take us from surplus to "debt crises" in just ten years only to be used as an excuse to attack the old and the poor that had nothing to do with the crises.
Working people are doing far worse and the rich have gotten quite a bit more rich at the same time.
Why do you wish to protect tax cuts that go to predators? You are not benefiting from them, in fact they are hurting you.
