In a previous message, I gave you actual figures from the IRS workbook that show that those making $25K or less are paying little or nothing in taxes.
A married man with a $25K income a wife and two children will pay zero taxes using the standard deductions, and will, in fact, receive a $1400 check from the IRS in the form of an unearned income tax credit.
That debunks your assertion that people earning $25K or less have a terrible tax burden. If you can't see this is so, it's because you have shut off your mind to anything that contradicts your theory.
So quit bashing and blaming the Republicans for taxing the poor. They have been working to remove the poor from the tax burden, and the Democrats have fought them every step of the way.
