cthulu23,
I have seen some of their tax returns and that just doesn't hold true.
One example I am thinking of the person got back more than they paid in taxes in total (including non-income taxes). And this isn't the only case.
At or below a certain level, which could be described as poor, what the person receives is far more than they pay (including social programs as well). I just really don't see this as a burden. The burden is the amount of money they earn, not how much they are taxed.
Giving the poor free money is not considered a tax break and it is has nothing to do with lowering marginal rates. It is a totally different argument.
Plus, we are leaving out the multiplier effect in regards to lowering marginal rates versus giving away free money. The effect that the tax breaks have is compounded whereas the free money aspect into the economy isn't.
