WELFARE IN THE TAX CODE

BY some reports, the just- passed federal tax cut favored the rich at the expense of the poor. Yet U.S. Treasury data show that lower-income taxpayers received a larger percentage tax cut than higher-income taxpayers. Families with modest incomes received an expansion in the 10 percent tax bracket, an increase in the standard deduction for married couples and an increase in the child tax credit.

However, exempting more citizens from tax and mailing them bigger checks is bad policy. For one thing, if over one-third of Americans think that the government is "free," they'll vote for too much of it. !!!

Does any one have the BILL'S #?

I can't find any record of it being brought up yesterday.
