Both of you got a tax cut? I didn't get a tax cut, and my wife and I work our asses off. I went to college to become a school teacher, and my wife manages a branch of a nation-wide franchise. We got a check in the middle of the year that we had to pay back when tax season rolled around.

And both of you also seem to still live under the delusion of The American Dream -- that if you work hard enough, you can have anything you want. That's bullshit. I don't think I need to explain the trickle-down theory of economics to either one of you, but the fact is that 90% of the wealth in this nation is held (and held tightly) by 5% of the population. If I grew up in a elite household, perhaps I would have had a chance. My parents would have been able to afford to send me to a private school, and the university of my choosing. As it was, I had to pay my own way through a state college. Statistics show that, in this country, you basically end up where your parents left off. Sure, there are exceptions, but if you take the idea that "if you work hard, you can be rich, too" to its logical conclusion, you'll see the fault in it. Let's say that EVERYONE works hard, tries their hardest to make it rich. Do you honestly think EVERYONE will share all the wealth? Hell no. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, for the most part.

So, you both got a tax cut. Must be nice to have a president that looks out for you folks in your tax bracket. No wonder you stick up for him so vehemently.
