No, my point was that I got no break whatsoever. In taking on a second job to afford braces on my teenagers, wisdom teeth out, and other sundry big ticket items, I earned more taxable income and was taxed heavily for my efforts.
I do not know who Bush gave tax cuts to, but my federal tax contribution went up in 2004 by several thousand and has remained higher. Hence, my sarcasm that Bush’s tax cuts did not include single moms.
Its fine though. I learned a valuable lesson about the republican party. One I will not forget.
Bush substantially increased the per child tax deduction amount so you benefited from that even if your overall income went up beyond that.
Your taxes would have been much higher under Gore, Kerry and now Obama.
Thanks. I had trouble following your comment.
Yep, Bush promoted single-Mom-hood, Why? It was a Rove strategy. “No Child left.... with vouchers.” He betrayed us with NCLB. He gave tax credits to single Moms.
