      From: snidely.too@gmail.com              Remember when Roger House bragged outrageously? That was Saturday:       > I thought of a different way of asking my old "tax breaks" question.       >       > How come "they", (the government?), SEEM TO never give tax breaks to the       > kind/type of people who could/would ACTUALLY benefit from them? Like       > restaurant dishwashers, trash collectors, janitors, etc. In other words, to       > use a term, the type of people that MIGHT be living paycheck to paycheck. To       > use another term, "the working poor" as it's said. Or, in other words, why       > do they SEEM TO give tax breaks only to the kind of people that, when it       > comes to how much money they have/make, don't NEED them?              The working poor don't pay their lobbyists enough.              > One more thing, in a similar vein. As near as I can tell, so-called "trickle       > down" economics, also known as Reaganomics, does NOT work, or trickle down.       > In other words, AFAIK, and I COULD be wrong, using my example from above, the       > working poor NEVER see any, (direct to?), benefit to their financial       > situation from trickle down economics.              The rich don't hire enough deck hands for their yachts. There is some       benefit to welders, though.              /dps              --       Trust, but verify.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
