Robin Hood in Reverse

Congressional republicans are giving a great imitation of the Prince John and the Sherriff of Nottingham. By now we know that they are dead set on maintain tax cuts for the wealthy. No surprise there; they have always protected the interest of the 1%. What most Americans do not know is that hidden is their budget repair proposal is an average $900 tax increase for middle and low-income families. Yes, the GOP really is robbing the poor to give to the rich.

Their proposal would remove the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit that millions of working families depend on. This cynical effort to balance the budget on the backs of those least able to pay highlights the evil of their unbridled greed.

Yes, there is class warfare being waged in our Nation; and evil republicans are the aggressors. Removing the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy is just cruel.
