If this passes then the Republicans have learned nothing from the last election. It is business as usual with both parties fighting over the carcus of the taxpayer.

I notice there is no one talking about the earned income credit which is a rip off, or making all or part of the 49% that don't pay taxes pay. Sorry to say but all of our contributions, work and effort may well have been for nothing.

-You think that’s bad- check this out: according to the GAO, as many as one-third of all EITC payments are improperly made (often because of fraud, and many times paid to illegal immigrants)...

But not a word from GOP leaders about addressing this in the tax “deal”, of course.
