Please refrain from posting inaccurate statements. The "tax breaks for the rich" of the last few years have generated record tax revenues, far beyond those of previous tax raises (similar to every tax break in the past, if given time for the economy to adjust).
Given the fact these tax breaks have resulted in a stimulated economy which has been documented time and time again to generate record revenue streams, how do you justify calling these "tax breaks" a "cutting back on programs that help the poor"?
Is it really helping the poor by punishing the rich, if the poor may receive no extra help due to the resultant reduced revenue stream?
