   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?     
      
   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.
