Republicans and poor people

No surprise here, but the stark reality is that you can't expect Republicans to care about poor people because poor people don't vote for them. Rich people do. It should be no surprise that when the Republicans propose a tax cut policy, it's the rich that get the cuts. We could have extended the Bush tax cuts by cutting taxes on the poor and middle class. But no. We increased the deficit by extended tax cuts on high earners and by cutting taxes for rich dead people. Now that spending cuts are on the table, it's time to cut spending on things that benefit the rich like oil subsidies and defense.
