I find it interesting that anyone can claim that a specific socioeconomic group needs or doesn't need a tax cut. Also, what determines that a group is "doing just fine". This is all completely subjective. Compared to most countries in the world, everyone in the US is "doing just fine." Most of the people you claim "need" a tax cut are still walking around with smart phones in their pockets. Also, let's all contemplate that nearly half of Americans don't pay any federal income tax anyways! When we talk about tax cuts for the poor, it's not really a tax cut, because they are not paying federal taxes. It's social welfare. They very well may benefit from the change, but calling it a tax cut is implying that the heavy tax burden on them is detrimental to their quality of life, which can't be the case if they are not actually paying taxes towards funding the federal government's programs.
I've become increasingly frustrated in recent years at our governments inability to stop adding to the National Debt. Part of this is the fact that I have two young children. We are kicking the can down the road year after year, and leaving our children and grandchildren a giant inheritance of debt that we and the generations before us are responsible for. I don't care which approach we take, shrinking government or raising taxes, but we absolutely have to address this problem. Despite the fact that all the politicians talk about the Nation Debt, and admit it is a major a problem, no one does anything about it. Democrat or Republican.
