1. These are NOT really tax cuts
They are just tax deferments --- to future generations - because the money has to be paid by somebody.

Any time you cut taxes during deficits you are just deferring the payments.

2. The money will be diverted from human needs programs & given to the rich..

... and, yes, the deficit will continue to skyrocket under this current administration.

Tax cut vote is today, budget cut vote tomorrow.

Edited to add: please call 1-800-459-1887 to oppose the tax cuts & budget cuts!
