      From: 61rroger@gmail.com              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
