If Democrats raised taxes for corporations, people would call them tax-and-spend liberals, and if Republicans lower taxes for the rich, and their plan includes a savings of about $20/year for the poor, and they deregulate corporations allowing them to control wages, why do we call them tax-slashing heroes? If Democrats raised your wage $4,000/year but raised your taxes $1,000/year, for example, you would call them thieves. Republicans are failing to raise the minimum wage with inflation, yet minimal tax cuts make them great. A higher percentage of the income of the U.S. government comes from poorer people now... and yet you come out of it thinking they're saving you money. Let's start talking in terms of tax burden, not in "raising" or "lowering". Stop letting the rich and powerful define the terms of the debate.
