Let’s Call It What It Is
By Matt Margolis | June 5, 2003
So today the Senate voted to give “some low-income families” a check for $400 for each child. This is part of the Democrats push to make more low-wage workers eligible for the increased tax credit.
Funny, weren’t the Democrats against the tax cut to begin with? Why are they suddenly so interested in giving more money back to the people?
When it comes down to it, the only reason why the Democrats want to include these low-income families in the tax cut is because these families - or at least most of them, don’t even pay taxes. That’s right, let’s call it what it is - this is the Democrats way of handing out welfare checks disguised as a tax cut.
These are people who are likely already receiving government assistance… How can the Democrats say that certain taxpayers don’t deserve a tax cut, but non-taxpayers do. When the top 50% of wage earners pay over 96% of income taxes, there’s a reason why a tax cut is going to go back to them.
So what’s the story here? Clearly, the Democrats know that they couldn’t pass a bill just giving out welfare checks, so they had to sneak this in the tax cut. All the while criticizing the Republicans for their tax cut. We get Hillary Clinton, spewing this crap out of her trap: “This administration is waging war on poor children.” That’s right… Republicans are attacking the children… Isn’t that rich… No pun intended. “The reality is that they are steadily and surely trying to turn the clock back on all of the programs and supports that working families and their children need and deserve.”
Working families? Actually… I won’t go down that route tonight. But I will ask this question… How many of these social programs have disappeared because of a tax cut? I’ve yet to hear about a “working family” trying to suck on the nipples of the government and find it dry.
Hillary, who has never voted against an increase in spending, ought to look at her own actions and think about how that affects “working families.” When all you do is spend, spend, spend, eventually there’s nothing left, and you’re spending more than what you got, and that’s how a deficit happens. Maybe instead of taxing us into indigence, and spending our hard earning money on worthless social programs that have never helped these low-income families since the beginning of we taxpayers started funding them.
There are better ways to help the low-income “working families” than giving them yet another handout courtesy of my paycheck.
